Good job reading! Yes, that is correct. Technology has repeatedly shown this tendency to produce wealth inequality which, unmitigated, produces instability.

Now the next step is to read this sentence word for word:

> The more advanced the technology and the markets in which it performs (by definition) the more levered and rapid the productivity gains are, the more extreme the inequality produced

You and I both agree that technology is getting more advanced (where advanced == produces more leverage on human inputs), but for some reason you think this latest wave of technology is somehow different in that it won't produce inequality and therefore (left unmitigated) result in instability.

You're the one who thinks this latest wave of tech is unique, not me :)

No. I'm refuting you claiming this time is different. I never said anything about inequality.

> You're the one who thinks this latest wave of tech is unique, not me :)

Is this trolling?

You've walked your claims back slightly with this "if left unmitigated" qualifier, so now ai means possibly the end of humans having something to do, maybe...

> Every year, fewer and fewer people are capable of doing jobs that robots cannot do. That's sort of the whole conundrum here.

This was your op. This is you thinking this is unique.

Mic drop. im done here

Wait you think me saying "year after year, thing happens" and then drawing a direct line of patterns all the way back to the Black Plague is me claiming "this time it's different?" Quite a take!

What do you think the word "naturally" means in the following sentence: "[economic] surplus is naturally captured by the owners of those robots and not the people they replaced"

What do you think this sentence means?: "which is one of many reasons [tech-driven inequality] should be mitigated by policy and taxation,"

What do you think the italicized just means here?: "If you want to see what just productivity improvements (with no social innovations) naturally does"

Or for that matter, what do you think the parenthetical means?

I have been arguing what the natural, unmitigated effects of technological development is the entire time. You've been arguing against some other made up position in your head, as pointed out more than 3 or 4 times now.

Have a good night kiddo ;)

You think this is unique. You're just wrong. Not sure how to make that any simpler than it is
