The race to create A.I. and robotic technology that will change the way we work and live is dominating countless industries.
But the chaos and disruption these ground-breaking fields are set to have on numerous areas of the economy, the job market, the banking system and the transportation industry have also incited fear.
Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma has previously warned that society could see decades of "pain" thanks to new technologies.
While Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says that humans need to merge with machines to become a sort of cyborg if we want to stay relevant.
But forgetting wild predictions for the future, one chief executive believes he has the answer to one of the biggest tech questions of today: Will a robot take my job?
Speaking to CNBC in an episode of Life Hacks Live, VaynerMedia CEO and social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk said those working in potentially replaceable jobs need to start learning a new trade for the digital world.
"Robots taking over jobs are an issue for people that do jobs that robots are going to take over," said Vaynerchuk.
"People have lost their jobs forever. Jobs are always lost."
The CEO added that he didn't "feel bad" for the likes of truck drivers who aren't taking important steps to adapt.....

Diversity officers are just commissars of academia - especially if they deal with Title IX.
Oh so it turns out you’re just a blowhard talking out his rear end and all this Luddite monkeywrenching you’re threating is just lies and BS. I know my history fine, well enough to know that everybody who ever copped the position you cop lost. I also know psychology well enough to not pay anymore attention to a blowhard. Bye.
They’re going to build disabled robots?
>>“I am getting burned out in IT.”
>>As an embedded systems and/or mobile app developer, I keep sane by increasingly living “back to basics” / “off the grid” at home.

I love to whip out my $14.95 Walmart flip phone (bought 5 years ago) whenever ANYONE starts whining about having to shell out $500 once again for new iPhone or whatever.
Yes it did.
And rather then having a $15.00 an hour secretary typing memos you have a $150.00 an hour executive doing it.
As far as cost savings go that doesn't seem to add up.
Which is why successful executive have still have secretaries and receptionists.
When someone complains about car repairs, do you show them your shiny new $50 Wal-Mart bicycle?
I did: don’t prohibit low paying jobs.
Minimum wage is a huge destructive force on the economy.
“I read this as “scared robots” will take my job. I wondered why they would be more of a threat than regular robots.”
You’re right...I wonder what they are afraid of?
BS, he absolutely had a tech background. It’s what he studied and worked on until he quit Harvard and stated his own tech business. It’s what he made his living at before latching onto other peoples code to sell. Now was he an awesome programmer? Probably not, but he did code projects with Paul Allen (basic for Altair for example) and as a person that actually coded for a living it’s hard to say he didn’t have a tech background.
Useless pos known as DOS? Dude...I don’t know what it was that you lived through but calling DOS a POS, is simply ignorant. That being said Steve Allen and Bill Gates had an successful programming business before they even “bought” DOS from Paterson in ‘81. And they never tried to sell DOS to Jobs or Woz, they were making software for the apple 2 and working with Jobs and Woz on the MAC. Windows 3.11 is what drove the big wedge between Gates and Jobs. Jobs felt like he owned the concept of the GUI and Gates stole it from him, which is ironic because he stole the idea himself.
Sheesh! What breathtaking ignorance!
Ever hear of Traf-O-Data? Gates has been writing code since his teens.
Ever hear about how Microsoft came to be founded? It was 1975 and there was a business opportunity. A firm was bringing out the first personal computer, and it needed software. Microsoft was founded to provide same.
Gates wrote a BASIC interpreter in assembly language for a machine that he did not have access to (the Altair 8800), but his friend Paul Allen wrote an emulator for the 8800 that ran on one of Harvard's time-sharing systems, and Gates used that emulator to debug his BASIC interpreter. When the time came to run Microsoft BASIC on the real Altair 8800, it worked.
If that's not technical chops, I don't know what is.
That's fine.
As long as it's their choice and not the government's.
The voting public should have no say in such matters.
You just need to walk your robot once in a while.

Quadrupeds must be appropriately socialized.
I try to do some of that.
Saturdays I’m usually recovering from the typical week of cosmic level idiocy and saving the creators from themselves. It beats me up sometimes. The people are basically nice but dangerous.
There should be a minimum qualification to use a computer, similar to driver’s license. In a better and saner world, there probably would be.
Today is try to work on the collection of half working toys.
No other people involved. It looks like work so no one will bother me. I like that. Sometimes I could use an extra pair of hands though.
I need to change oil on a jeep and blazer, maybe bench bleed and fit a master cylinder on another jeep, and see if I can get that 750K to run again.
Summer is great but the heat here in Columbia, SC is murder. Yesterday was miserable. Today is a lot better.
“Let them eat cake”, said the tyrant.
Nothing new under the sun!
