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.

Robots will do the work that immigrants won’t?

Sounds like robot police and guards will be needed to keep order.

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 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.

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

a little millenial dipsh*t thinks that the mecha-zombies are coming. I’m terrified.

A former Facebook executive has quit his job and now lives as a recluse in the wilderness – because he is convinced that machines will take over the world.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free yes and eternally young

maybe we all go down to 30 hour work weeks (3-10 hour days) and have way more leisure time?

He said if society did nothing, a "tiny class of society" would own "all of the capital and all of the data and everybody else adds no economic value, is despised by the class that has things because they're worthless" creating "massive social unrest".

And just how is this different that what we have now?....................
