It is simply too late to try to suppress China. The United States must either spend seriously on research and development, along with industrial policy, or it will lose the race for twenty-first-century technological supremacy.
Any technological innovation that isn’t furthering a post scarcity society where basic needs are met without expectation of payment is just more tech noise and not substantive progress.
Ai taxis and more expansive telecoms and more automated menial labor just sounds like more money into an entrenched politikers or corporats pockets.
America has plenty of that as well
I’m fine with the automation just not with the centralized aspect and the whole aspect of the gains going to a encrusted statesman and corporate executive class while normal citizens are getting ripped off for houses and healthcare.
Adding to this: I’m tired of having centralized systems of manufacturing, we should be focusing on localized ai models empowering 3d printers and textile machines at a local scale. Break of manufacturing monopolies, stop shipping goods half way across the world.
In home batteries and solar, wind to decentralize power grids
Telecoms powered by a grid of satellites (put up by corporations or governments, somethings you need to compromise on) but connected to with antenna systems that could be open sourced and setup by households
More of that please less of this owner class decimating hiring head count
To whatever extent you can do that go ahead. However all of those methods would be less exploitative and therefore less profitable than the terrible exploititive methods we keep on doing.
