Now company CEO's look like ex-cons?

[ak267]

Reminds me of a certain Zuckerberg lackey who said that those displaced in the Rust Belt and coal industry should just suck it up and become a coder.

Yeah, easy for you to say. Tell that to a 54 year old with a mortgage, two kids and college and a car payment.

Offshoring is a much bigger threat to American blue collar workers than automation. Offshoring slows down advancement in robotics as the unlimited supply of cheap labor suppresses innovation.

JUNK SCIENCE

None of these Uber rich CEOs have Engineering or tech backgrounds.

Bill Gates DROPOUT
Zuckerberg DROPOUT

They are know nothing, fortunate monopolists. Some are lucky accountant, bean counters. All love big government. They fear competing.

Name one reliable robot. Tablet smart phones are low quality China junk where you need 8 different pc gadgets to sustain your workload.

A man's got a right to make a living. If robots get in the way of that then robots will have to go. One way or another the Taters will be putting a roof over their heads and food on the table for many generations to come. If people can find a way to include robots in that world then more power to them. If not then there won't be any robots.

On the bright side, if the lefties that demand high minimum wage rates get their other demand: the shutting down of power plants, oil refineries, there won’t be electricity to run the robots, and it will be back to using people for all labor, by hand, it will take a hundred laborers to do what one can do now, so there will be plenty of jobs

"Robots taking over jobs are an issue for people that do jobs that robots are going to take over," said Vaynerchuk.

Is this guy Dr Suess? Sorry can't take anyone serious who makes these kind of statements. Too much generalities and doublespeak.

Driverless vehicles...what kuldip go wrong?

Interesting that if a factory closes down completely and lays off 100% of it workforce and is moved to China everyone here seems to think that's OK. It's just the global "free market" at work.

But if a worker loses his job to a robot well that calls for pitch forks and torches.

I don't get it. Offshoring is way worse than automation. At least the automated factory is in the USA and still requires some workers albeit less.

Re-program robots to attack CEO.

[9YearLurker]

Huh?

[Drawsing]

I read this as “scared robots” will take my job. I wondered why they would be more of a threat than regular robots.

[ctdonath2]

This has been a loudly lamented fear since the Luddites screamed about the Industrial Revolution.

The problem is that the remaining jobs are a mix of intellectually and physically demanding, excluding those with the least ability to retrain even if they had the money for more schooling.

While it’s a dick way to say it he’s right. The future is happening with or without you. If your job is one targeted for automation it WILL be automated, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon. When you exit on your own time frame you get more options.

[Trentamj]

What’s all this nonsense about “Scared robots”? How ridiculous is this? Robots are just human-shaped machines, they can’t feel, or be “scared” of anything! This so stupid! (Latest headline is: “Out-of-Context Man Strikes Again!”)
