"The chain reaction of "Carrot Run""
More than 1,000 unmanned vehicles have been put into use in Wuhan, and more than 6 million orders have been completed in a few months. The market growth rate is amazing.
This threatens the jobs of many people, and Wuhan drivers are also protesting in a joint letter.
When it comes to AI driving, I think as a consumer, I am subconsciously excited: a 10-kilometer journey in Wuhan costs 18 to 30 yuan for ordinary online taxis, but only 4 to 6 yuan for Carrot Run.
No need to be ripped off by taking a detour, endure awkward conversations with strange smells, and be forced to share a car, or even worry about encountering bad people. It improves the travel experience and increases social benefits.
But there are two sides to the same coin. McKinsey's 2023 research report stated that artificial intelligence will replace more than half of the world's jobs between 2030 and 2060.
Not only unmanned driving, but all repetitive basic work we can think of may be replaced by AI.
So the scary point appears: taking "Carrot Run" as an example, AI's dimensionality reduction attack was too sudden, and there was no time for ordinary people to transition.
At present, the economy is sluggish and unemployment is sweeping. People don’t want to work in basic industries, but have to work in them.
Optimistically, if productivity is greatly enhanced, the excess profits obtained are reasonably distributed to the people, the lower-class cattle and horses are liberated, and everyone can enjoy the fruits of science and technology, which will benefit all mankind.
But if ordinary people do not have a fair second distribution opportunity, the fruits of production are all put into the pockets of capital, and the cattle and horses are useless, they are destined to be eliminated.
If the last vitality is taken away, the source of income is lost, and the social problems caused by the surge in pressure are solved...
But the general trend is unstoppable.
In history, the progress of science and technology has never been stopped because of public protests.
The textile workers protested against the Jenny textile machine, and the coachmen protested against the motor vehicles, but it was useless.
When the times abandon a person, they never say hello. If they are not on the car of history, they are under the wheels.
Because we don’t know what everyone we meet when we go out has experienced or what kind of mood he is in.
Everyone, please be quiet and open fewer contracts, otherwise you will be liquidated in the future, and even Didi and Meituan will be gone...
