I applaud topics like this that get to the banality and dehumanization involved with the promises of an AI future. To me, if AI fulfills even some of its promises then it puts us in a rather high stakes situation between the people that make up society and those that govern the productivity machines.
My first instinct is to say that when one loses certain trusts society grants, society historically tends to come hard. A common idea in political discourse today is that no hope for a brighter future means a lot of young people looking to trash the system. So, yknow, treat people with kindness, respect, and dignity, lest the opposite be visited upon you.
Don’t underestimate the anger a stolen future creates.
Indeed, I wonder if these angry young people would try to fuck with these AI agents, and attempt to make them spin in circles for their own amusement.
Sort of like the infamous GameStop short squeeze of 2021:
