| Mnementh said: The Culture is an example of a good utopia. Funnily enough it also includes AIs and gives them citizen rights. Don't see that in the current climate, people keep hating the clankers, instead of the system that works for the rich. |
I think the major reason people hate AI or any specific technology, rather than thinking toward new social systems, is that we're still transitioning out of "End of History" thought, where people can imagine almost anything happening other than capitalism being outmoded or replaced. That's the effect of five decades of neo-liberalism constraining political-economic and social thinking.
If there is any silver-lining of the Trump era its that he's pretty much destroyed the idea that "nothing happens" and "history has ended."
