I’ll take data any day!

Give it give it!

Where is your data showing humans are poorer now than a 100 years ago?

I think most of the tech layoffs we saw the past 6 months were companies getting a preview of the amount of productivity they will get with these tools and preparing for it.

>Historical evidence, as you pointed out, shows increased productivity doesn't have statistical significance on reducing hours worked

sure, but we, as a race, are WAY more rich than 100 years ago.

SO productivity does increase quality of life for everyone!

Stop focusing on the ceiling, focus on the floor, and how it has been raised in the past 100 years.

Now a guy cleaning bathrooms can become a junior software engineer by using Copilot and Chat-gpt and natural language. The amount of people doing manual labor will decrease, so they will have to pay them more.

Its a a sea rise that will lift everyone.
