Wise and frugal governments should allow people to freely regulate the pursuit and improvement of the industry, and they should not get bread from the labor's mouth - this is the sum of good governments. Thomas Jefferson In the past, the intent of most House and Senate bills was divided into nearly four categories. They regularly provide funds to important services, respond to the needs of people, solve problems they have recently discovered, or they are for greater profit.
We all believe that our work in artificial intelligence brings human benefits. As Jobs said, we all want to "change the world" to gain more profit. But what are the bigger benefits? Happiness is a bigger benefit? In such a case, perhaps we may shoot ourselves in a psychedelic way and lead forever to virtual reality. The biggest problem here is the last question. Most of what we pay, poor are not other ways. Only a handful of people are fortunate to have all four of their lives (I think these people are in college years). Most of us waste our lives and have "BullShit Jobs". Perhaps this should be the real goal of artificial intelligence. Changing the world has made us all "reasons to live". In order to achieve this goal, we will not waste their lives and we will not sell "sugar water" to our children.
When we think that things like slavery can bring greater benefit. Then, the prison of child laborers and debtors. This is the most difficult question - the bigger profit - is that we never allow solving the final solution problem. This approach depends on the end of progress and the beginning of retreat. Whenever someone thinks they have found an "answer" for the best interests - have you noticed it? - Then the age of darkness fell. The Soviets did it and immediately built Gulag. The Nazis did it, and soon the bomb fell. Assuming that we answered this question of greater concern, we have to go out and impose our will. Then all kinds of human foolishness will be possible
Your left people may want to think twice about an attempt to exploit your next "great good point" point. Simply put, when more people have it, it is not wonderful, it is actually a service! In the American system, many liberals have shown such contempt and have offered good service to more people. Compared to social systems such as Russian, Chinese, etc. progressive people try to provide only the largest number (not of course "good life") to more people (except the responsible person) . Anyone can easily see the real "better" logic / cause!
