  1. Submission statement: imagine a horse in the year 1900, telling its horse friends “Don’t worry. Automation always leads to more and better jobs for horses.” 

    It’s obviously ridiculous when we say this about horses, and yet somehow people believe this when it comes to humans. 

    If AIs take your job, how long before they can also take your replacement job? Or maybe they already can do it before you’ve trained yourself for something new. 

    How should we approach corporations building something that could lead to mass unemployment?
