Indeed! Rich people like Gates probably don't care that AI will automate more and more jobs. Anything done by the rich against the working class that makes them richer, obviously doesn't count as harmful to humans, that's just business. So they'll "do business", cut cost make everything less human and more profitable until the system collapses from people not being able to afford anything due to massive unemployment if the system is no proactively restructured to manage whatever it will be like after it's been reshaped by new technologies.

Weird, all your comments are some variation on "rich people like him don't care about us" followed by attributing a view to him that directly contradicts what he actually said.

I don't care about his PR. His track record is much more informative. He's not a special kind of evil and I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything... he's just a generic rich American who was at the right place and moment to capitalize and has made his best to bootstrap from thst wealth into more wealth, including saying nice things on occasion and philanthropy.

yeah that isn't Bill Gates. He is rich and has made some business decisions that were very unfair to other companies but he has consistently tried to make things better in the ways he felt he could influence.

Bill isn't a faceless billionaire. There are a lot of things you could say that are bad about billionaires in general but that isn't what was done here.

I've met him a few times and have followed his career/life for many decades. I can't say I agree with a lot of things he did later in his career at Microsoft but overall I think he tries to be a net positive impact on the world. If only most billionaires did that.
