i guess? but what are you hinting at exactly?

I am legitimately confused at other people around me thinking that this exponentially evolving technological explosion will end at a steady state that will be at all familiar to us.

It's a worn-out metaphor, but I can't help but think of horses marvelling at this mechanical carriage thing, wondering what's the endgame of that.

admittedly, it probably wont, but i think a lot of replies like mine above are because your hinting at something vague... what's the concrete worry?

  > horses marvelling at this mechanical carriage

so you mean to say, the end-result of all this is humans will be out-of-the-job so to speak?
