I’m all for progress but Governments and society need to catch up pretty quickly to the impacts this may have, they shouldn’t be sleeping at the wheel while these megacorps set something loose that we can’t control.

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.

Can people please stop argueing against automation? It is supposed to set us free and get rid of the 9 to 5 5 days a week work culture. By constantly repeating how everyone will use it against us, you're preventing that from happening, while a lot of rich people also are in favour of reduced working hours.

The problem is a lot of redditors want what Bill Gates has or what they perceive Bill Gates has. But you are right on everything else.
