    What has productivity gains done for anyone in the last 50 years? You’re handing more value to your employer and to the tech oligarchs for the same pay at the cost of your own intelligence along with a myriad of other social and environmental problems. But it’s worth it because YOU say so. Ok buddy.

        They have historically done nothing but make the rich richer at society’s expense. If this tool were an actual benefit to the people no one could deny it. Yet there is so much evidence of the contrary.

        You can get so much more work done, yay. Who does that really benefit?

          You think our medical, technological and scientific advances aren’t helping society?

          I get the complaints about the economy and wealth inequality and environmental impacts from dodgy corporations. But, that’s not a technology problem, that’s a government/regulation problem. We need to attack the bad practices of corporations and the ineffectiveness of government to do anything about it, not people who have found a new tool to be useful for their work.
