RE: Then what? What is the purpose of the human population?
Why can’t people be re-trained to program and maintain these robots?
Because no private corporation wants to spend a GD dime on training for any reason.
Some could, but the point of automation is that it’s a force multiplier. You replace 20 people with 1 robot maintained by 1 or 2 people. And of course as predictive algorithms get better and we’re already getting machines that can announce when they’re going to break, and then you can automatically dispatch machines to fix the machines even those 1 or 2 might not be necessary anymore.
why would a low information voter give up a couch and welfare check for work?
There is no incentive since they have no morality of duty or right and wrong.
They are just an extention of the pot soaked stinky mud drenched hippies of woodstock wait for the adults to bring them food and water.
