mandatory earning a living is outdated and barbaric

[Jaskalas]

Haven't we been a generation away from automation eliminating most jobs for the last two or three generations? Instead we find it's not automation eliminating most jobs, it's the Chinese.

This argument seems to ignore modern advances and how they're about to go critical. Factory automation was stupid automation. Those were machines, not robots. No AI was involved - just a hard coded set of instructions.

Perhaps you'll realize the world has changed... when your car drives you around... instead of you driving your car around. That day is coming.

Yeah, but when we get to the office, I want my car to go upstairs, sit at my desk, and do my fucking work for me while I lounge around in the "employee parking" room.

That day is coming...!!











... in the wild and crazy robot-fantasy dreams of P&N nuts. Until then, back to reality.

A London-based company has launched a prototype "robo-chef" for the home...
The robot could then do everything from assembling and chopping all the ingredients, doing the cooking on the hob or in the oven, and finishing up by cleaning the dirty pans.

Lots of unemployed food industry workers for Republicans to call leeches in the not too distant future.

Now senseamp how can you not know your place below all the true Mericans like Zaap.

Was going to post something about the automation of fast food work when I felt like dealing with his ignorance.

And obviously the recently shown off tech made those jobs the obvious ones known that are gong to be quickly displaced in some very short time but what else do we have fully working shown off prototypes for right now?

All sort of driving work.
3.5M truck drivers in the US. I bet many of them are looking down at the unemployed now too, thinking why don't you leeches get a job. Should be interesting

Olive Garden will put table-top tablets in all 845 restaurants nationwide starting in May, letting customers order appetizers and drinks from the devices.

Chili's is using them too. Of course they will tell you the intent is not to replace waiters, but just like self check out lines at stores, they reduce demand for staff, so instead of several waiters, you will have one.
~2.5M waiters and waitresses in the US.

LOL a 1950s era blender could replace the likes of senseamp as far as brainpower and usefulness to any other human being on this planet. OF COURSE a machine can replace you. You're a useless idiot, an extra mouth others have to feed.

Now back to screaming at all those robot-driven trucks hauling things to other robots so that robots can design and make more things for other robots.

You guys need to hop on your robotic horses and do your Paul Revere act and let everyone know about all these evil jerb-stealing robots, because a lot of people are too busy fucking working to have noticed all of then hiding in the.shadows!

"The robots are coming!!! The robots are coming!!!"

3 out of the top 5 jobs in America.

9 out of the top 15 jobs in America.

Not looking good when more than half of all jobs in the US are going to evaporate while our population is still going to keep increasing and even worse when much of our population is too old to work and are also drawing SS payments from the now much smaller workforce in America.

You be in denial, that's fine by me, since I am in tech.

Oh noes! Planes are going to have.... *gasp!!!* AUTO-PILOTS!!!

Instead of axes there might be.... chainsaws!!!! Harvesters and excavators!!!!!!

There might even be assembly lines!!!

Computers!!?????? Say what?!!!?

The robots are coming!!! The robots are coming!!

So he should have added that the computers were able to teach us something about tumors that we did not know before.

Sweet.

Instead of axes there might be.... chainsaws!!!! Harvesters and excavators!!!!!!

At one time there were lots of men in flannel shirts with axes that cut down trees for a living. It took 2 men to cut down one tree. Then we invented the chainsaw. Many of those axe wielding men lost their jobs because one man with a chainsaw could cut down several trees in the same time those two cut down one.

Luckily for us chainsaws needed lots of men to build them and get the fuel to run them. And with the cheaper lumber the demand for cutting down trees grew. So some men kept their flannel on and learned to tote a chainsaw, others ditched the flannel and learned to build chainsaws and drill for oil. Overall there were more, not less, jobs created.

Then came harvesters, and most of those chainsaw toting men lost their jobs. But we wanted even more wood, and building and feeding harvesters took even more men than chainsaws. So, some of those men went to school to learn to operate harvesters, and others learned to build harvesters, and flannel was only worn ironically. But there was more jobs!

Then we invented a machine that could build harvesters. Many harvester building, ironic flannel wearing men lost their jobs. By now we knew where this led so they all put their ironic flannel shirts on and studied up on how to build harvester building machines. But it takes far fewer men to build a harvester building machine then to build a harvester, which is kind of obvious in retrospect. So, they looked into driving harvesters, afterall they have the flannel shirts. But harvesters can already harvest all the trees anyone could possible want, we don't need any more harvester operators (and we are working on making harvesters automated as well). So, off the the oilfields, to join those long lost brethren from the chainsaw revolution. But wait, most of the oil is already drilled, and oil drilling is a highly automated process. There just is not a need for many new people in that field.

So, they looked to their leaders to see what they should do. Their leaders told them to stop being lazy and get an education.
