That is true but I did say "when we get to the stage where artificial human augmentation is a safe and affordable service to the public."

But it's likely that wealthier people will be able to afford better enhancements.

You're probably right.

Also there is no such thing as the best era for humans in a natural state. I'm going to respond to this comment the way that Rick Sanchez does. "We have no frame of reference" since we only live in our era, we can't judge if ours will be the best or worst relative to the future or past since we weren't and won't be alive

As a species, we have always been weak. So why should we reject something that could allow us to become better at everything we do?

Just a counter question. You do make a good point

I think there is a certain degree to which technology is very helpful and that is certainly debatable, but if we get to bladerunner status then i think its over for us.
If we create AI machines to do everything for us, soon there won't be anyone left to serve.

My best friend raised the same argument as you. It is true that an over dependence on machines will remove certain jobs, we have already seen this happen with globalization where countries have given up lower paying jobs to foreign companies. Margret Thatcher did this in Britain and it resulted in a massive number of people committing suicide because they couldn't find work. Mainly cause she rushed it but hey, gender equality. Women need to start taking lives more seriously if they want the same status as men (Just a joke).

When we do get to the stage that we develop fully sentient AI they won't go on a killing rampage as we predicted (unless we program them to do so) due to the meaning and purpose of life. Anyway, long story short we need to transition this very slowly. We need to keep human jobs available but also integrate AI into systems that could save lives like cars, when we get to the stage where artificial human augmentation is a safe and affordable service to the public. aeroplanes, etc.

I don't think this is about jobs. Personally i detest the dialogue about 'america needs jobs'. We don't need jobs, we need better ways to connect to ourselves and each other and the land and world around us. We need things worth doing, and thing worth doing doesn't feel like a job. Working in a stupid corporate program that capitalizes on inefficiency and planned obsolescence in order to make useless baubles to distract people is a job. We don't need any more of that.

Work is just a service we provide for others. We are given money as a measure of how hard we have worked. Capitalism in this specific case is the ideal system where you are rewarded equally for your labour.
I know there is the argument about it creates class systems, monopolies, oligarques, etc. But at the end of the day work is necessary to survive. If we don't work we can't feed our families or take care of them. We just need a way to live.

And very few people share the sentiment of "things worth doing don't feel like a job". Every goal requires sacrifice. Everything we do requires work in order to gain rewards. You work or you die. Simple as that.

Well there are lots of services i would be glad to do for others and am very capable of doing. I don't think i need the government deciding what that is, though, and i don't need them charging me for minding my own business, and i certainly don't know what they hell we're going to do with all of this concrete and asphalt that requires way too much upkeep.

That's true. I'm surprised you're the only one who noticed it. We have been artificially enhancing the human body for decades and no one has really resisted it en masse. We have artificial medicines, artificial limbs, etc.
