why have americans still not learned their lesson about slavery?  slavery was a terrible deal from every point of view: > obvious ethical issues of treating human beings like cattle > slavery was economically inefficient, as it heavily stifled technological devlopment > there is only so much work that unmotivated, uneducated and malnourished slaves can do, which forces you to focus on businesses that might be outdated and/or have low demand > slavery had countless unintended consequences, such as filling your country with uppity niggers once they got freed now, in the 21st century, jeetcoding and ai are the new slavery. the issues are pretty much the same as before: > replacing human creativity, ingenuity and problem solving with mindless machines and working drones is deeply unethical > personal/human development will be heavily stifled, maybe permanently > not every problem in the world can be addressed through a computer, and the market for digital services is already oversaturated > among the possible unintended consequences, there are the transformation of your country into india, an unprecented mass surveillance dystopia and the end of all organic life in the universe
