I agree with you, I just hate that it rarely ever even makes it into the conversation. “We need to regulate this new technology until we pass this other legislation that we are actively working towards which I will now outline” would be far more productive than just “This is bad and we need to ban it.”
Comment on Delivery robots are spreading across LA. Residents ‘both pity and hate them’
als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoSure it’s a nice idea but in the current system, these robots don’t make life easier for poor people, they just make rich people richer. The luddites smashed looms not because they hated progress but because they needed employment to buy food to eat. Until we solve that, there will be new luddites with every new technology created to displace workers.

This is easily solved by heavily taxing the rich instead of banning innovation.

Is it really solved, if its not done in practice? The rich make sure its not done and the laws are made in way they can evade taxes.
