Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman warns AI is a ‘fundamentally labor replacing’ tool over the long term::Despite today’s AI hype, it’s still a “truly transformational” technology that will replace jobs unless policy steps in, Suleyman said.

I think we all saw this coming. But the worst part is this: they want to replace white collar jobs like Developers, Managers, Architects, Engineers etc - all the educated people.

Whereas it should be used to replace manual labour jobs in conjunction with robotics to spare humans doing heavy and dangerous labour, freeing them to go study and get white collar jobs. Thereby improving society and raising people on the bottom, to the middle and beyond.

Instead they are cutting down the top and the middle, making these people jobless and poor thereby increasing the poverty!

Just so that a few billionaires can get even richer! It's disgusting!
