@Gargron@mastodon.social It's hard to put the brakes on advances, like the Ghost Shirt Society finds out at the end of Vonnegut's Player Piano.
I heard an interview with a professor yesterday who wrote a book on the benefits of keeping cash alive and not relying completely on digital payment systems. He suggested using cash at least once a week. Maybe people will be able to do that with AI - limit their use and rely on their own brains at least some of the time. https://blogs.bu.edu/zagorsky/

@KerryMitchell@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social I'm still waiting on my bank letting me do withdrawals & deposits by post/mail (this was a thing in some places, a long time ago). I'm not setting foot in their COVID-loving plaguebearer environment if I can help it.

@KerryMitchell@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Saying that it's hard is not the same as saying that it's impossible.
