@trigrax Nope. It's a general way to dismiss both fucking champagne techbros and neoluddite fearmongerers both of which outright spread misinformation.
There will be change, no doubt. It won't be as dramatic as your imagination wants it to be.
Revolutions look radical and exciting from the outside, and we love a good story. When you look close enough, though, they are a far more boring story than they look, and result from the past events slowly coming together until you wake up in a different world.
@drq So you’re merely arguing about the speed of change, not its eventual scale? How then does that invalidate the concerns of the doomers and/or the hopes of the accelerators? Even if it takes 30 years, it’s still within your lifetime. You and your loved ones will perish or get mind-uploaded or merged with the machines or go to the stars or whatever.
