We're currently in the process of designing and building machines that can do everything better, faster and cheaper than humans.

Gradually, we are succeeding.

This leaves us with two options:

a) Decouple the value of human life from economic output

b) Watch as the value of human life rapidly approaches zero



Sadly, it seems to me that history has always chosen b), and I doubt this time it's gonna be different.
