Comment on Preparing for AI's economic impact: exploring policy responses

they seem to have omitted the scenarios where the newly unemployable electorate turn on them

I used to think that "AI operating in meatspace" was going to remain a tough problem for a long time, but seeing the dramatic developments in robotics over the last 2 years, it's pretty clear that's not going to be the case.

As the masses fade into permanent unemployment, this will likely coincide with (and be partially caused by) a corresponding proliferation in intelligent humanoid robots.

At a certain point, "turning on them" becomes physically impossible.

What development have happened in robotics over the last 2 years, that changed your mind? I am familiar with general industry trends in electronics over the last two decades, as well as the 1 decade in machine learning.

The higher taxes proposed here could be used to buy off the electorate.

They just know it's not going to happen
