Strangely, Karl Marx predicted this for capitalism. It never could have happened under his system, because capital couldn’t keep building under the weight of the redistribution.
Luddites
Cue the Butlerian jihad...
Robots will do the work that immigrants won’t?
Sounds like robot police and guards will be needed to keep order.
and I’m prolly gonna miss all the fun :(
Well, at the places I worked at, these robots don’t have a chance.
Unless they develop an ass-kissing program.
FReepers with teen children should be guiding their thinking long-range about where the jobs will be in the coming decades. It’s a very important parental discussion (among many others). My kids are in their late 20s and early 30s and we’ve had a lot of conversations about where the jobs will be and how to position themselves for success in the changing landscape.
The Luddites are back.
The good news... We won’t need to worry about that phony baloney global warming profit Al Bore wasting his breath and irritating people with his prophetic nonsense.
I like to point out that a society where robots do all the work is one where socialism might finally be viable. Except that its philosophy is rooted in envy, and that won’t go away, even if we each have an identical amount of things.
Smart people will always have jobs. The problem is that robots are taking the jobs stupid people used to be able to do. And that’s the problem. Idle hands are the Devil’s Workshop, and we already see this in the inner cities.
More work for me.
I’m a Blade Runner.
I’ll “retire” as many as they need.
I “retired” my robot vacuum cleaner the other day. Tripped me when I walked by. He got to meet my little friend Mr. Sledgehammer.
Countries will be forced to go to a “guaranteed income” for all citizens.
But this is if the Lord waits, which I don’t think He will do. JMO
Yes. $15 /hour for a job worth $8/hour buys a LOT of robots.
The good news... We won’t need to worry about that phony baloney global warming profit Al Bore wasting his breath and irritating people with his prophetic nonsense.
Haha...yeah “work politics”. Can robots do THAT?
a little millenial dipsh*t thinks that the mecha-zombies are coming. I’m terrified.
I’d love to replace Congress with robots.
