@404mediaco What a stupid idea, and on so many levels. I want to talk about those horses.
In the US, the horse population peaked around 1915 around 20 million, mostly for work in agriculture and urban transportation. At the same time, tractors came around and 2.5 million registered automobiles. In 1960, there were around 3 million horses, used principally for recreation. There was no longer a need for more. They were obsolete.
Now, answer the question, if AI can do the jobs and other activities that require education, how many people will there be 40 years later? Who knows? But they won’t be working at the jobs of today if they cost more or require more maintenance. As long as we live in a society that optimizes for profit rather than quality of life, humans will be the horses.
