#and we both know that if computer answered 'invest money in human dignity' a lot you'd throw it out and buy a new one

I don't buy into the idea of an AI-driven techno-utopia in our near future because the computer doesn't have arms.
The computer doesn't have arms so if it solves world hunger it's really relying on humans to do the work of putting the computer's master plan into action
and the thing is, all the rich guys who don't want to help other human beings because it's not profitable will STILL BE HERE and still be in control of the resources that could feed and clothe and house everyone
and I really don't see them changing their minds and letting people just have those things after decades of perceiving the entire food and clothing and housing distribution system as their sole discretionary property just because a computer was the one who told them it was a good idea this time
and I don't think the computer can solve for X if X is "make the capitalists all of the profit WHILE ALSO solving world hunger and homelessness without any rich man ever having to give up a single penny" because that's like dividing by zero.
#radio chatter#but when a rich guy builds the Tell Me The Answer I Already Wanted To Hear machine 3000#and the machine says 'deny medical coverage'#it is humans who have to carry out the denial (refusing healthcare to a patient)#but none of them carry blame because the computer made the decision! and the guy who made the computer responsible for the decision#in theory doesn't carry the blame either because again. computer did it. notme#well bro computer doesn't have arms. you're the one who decides when what computer says becomes reality because you have the arms.#and we both know that if computer answered 'invest money in human dignity' a lot you'd throw it out and buy a new one#computer only got this job because it says 'deny' at a rate you're happy with
