Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for a post on whether a new industrial revolution could cause mass job loss, per the thread title. One commenter cites it alongside economic work on the lump of labor and Luddite fallacies.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
It's very far from idle speculation at this point; many prominent economists and economic researchers[1] have grappled with the issue. Both the Lump of Labor Fallacy and Luddite Fallacy may prove themselves to be fallacious in the new era. Gwern has a good post with links: http://www.gwern.net/Mistakes?cx=009114923999563836576%3Adv0... Here are a few prominent ones: http://economics.mit.edu/files/5554 https://hbr.or…
