Trope or fact? Technology creates more jobs than it destroys
Jim Stogdill
@alephbass Interesting take. I hope they're right!
Techno-utopian vision; bully for the economy, still not clear on jobs and wealth distribution. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2014/01/02/how-the-united-states-is-reinventing-itself-yet-again/ … cc /@jstogdill

@alephbass@jstogdill not read the blog yet but I can tell you in the future everything will be free, which means nobody will need to work. -
@2045singularity@alephbass So awesome. I hope we have Wall-E's too! -
@jstogdill@alephbass well there is already the@SelfAwareROOMBA (or the unaware kind).#BostonDynamics now owned by#Google has robots too. -
@jstogdill@alephbass from Intel's#Siri competitor#Jarvis, and Google's recent purchase of#DeepMind, it seems AI, an bots, will improve. -
@jstogdill@alephbass questions raised via my previous Tweets: How much more sophisticated will AI-robotics become? Is this limit or start? -
@jstogdill@alephbass the Nao robot doesn't seem too far away from Wall-E: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2013/12/31/turning-robots-into-surrogates-for-homebound-senior-citizens/ … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nao_(robot) … -
@jstogdill@2045singularity so that’s what it feels like to have religious fanatics show up; remarkably similar to other missionaries. -
@alephbass@2045singularity Just for the record, is "singularity utopia" for real or a parody? Serious question. -
@jstogdill@alephbass serious, I think the Singularity inevitably entails utopia but many don't appreciate it. Hence the name for awareness. -
@alephbass@jstogdill lol :D "religious fanatics." I can however corroborate all my points with evidence unlike religious fanatics. -
@2045singularity@alephbass lololololololololol Sorry, that just came out. The history of utopianism doesn't bode well for that pov. -
@jstogdill@alephbass history of many things doesn't bode well for the future, but an incurable disease for example might not always be so. -
@jstogdill@2045singularity now is the time to invoke Poe’s Law. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoesLaw … -
@jstogdill@alephbass if we based the future on the past we would predict humans would never fly or leave the Earth, cure AIDS or cancer. -
@alephbass@2045singularity Awesome. I'm thrilled to know that and will invoke it vigrorously in my neither dystopian or utoptian future! -
@2045singularity@alephbass Got it. I'm not against tech, and I'm not a blind techno optimist. I'm a "it's complicated." You oversimplify. -
@alephbass@jstogdill never had Poe's Law invoked in my 4yrs of blogging. 1st time for everything. Seems like a#Catch22#CosmicTeapot law. -
@2045singularity@jstogdill singularity and the tech it entails is a discontinuity and very difficult to plan past or argue with;
Singularity Utopia
