You would think if this is the case then wouldn’t importing a whole bunch of ignorant savages from the third world who breed like rabbits be the worst thing you could do?
You would think that with robots doing the lion’s share of work you would want a smaller population?
Same way with the supposed global warming, the left whines about the west consumption of resources, saying that we need to have fewer children, we need to use less resources, generate less carbon/trash/food etc... but then champions the importation of turd world savages that will come into the system and breed like literal rabid rabbits which will increase the demand for food, consumer goods, while generating more trash and carbon, yadda yaddda.
It doesn’t take long to see the the left is fundamentally corrupt as hell, because they never follow their own damned logic they purport to believe in...
Automation is fine. There are just too many people. We should be paying low-IQ Americans to self-sterilize, halt all immigration other than high-skilled people, and deporting every single illegal, refugee and unskilled visa holder.
Assuming the government didn’t tax every increment of increased productivity, as we get richer, we’d work less.
The average work week (in terms of hours) fell considerable from the 19th century to the 20th. Then, the greedy government started taxing as much as it could get away with. Nowadays, it’s taxing so hard the middle class is losing ground, and we’re still running a deficit.
With a true free-market economy, the average workweek would be down to 25 or 30 hours by now, and would continue to fall as we are further enriched by advances in technology.
It’s pretty easy to figure out how “the future” would work if we only need half the workers we now need. Each worker works half the hours they now work.
Compare how fair this is to the socialist “solution:” The people of the basket of deplorables have to work as hard as ever, and have no health care, while the minorities and trannies and such don’t have to work at all, get health care for free along with the surgeries to make their transition to whatever gender or species or household appliance they identify as this week.
Teachers will have 6 months off + weekends and holidaysas schooling switches to computers.....with full pay of course.
Well, when cars came along all the blacksmiths lost their jobs... and a lot of loggers too.
Guess this could be true. /s
Social media is not the kind of foundation you ought build a society on.. its like a sandy beach. here to go,, gone bonkers tomorrow.
Whoa, that's pretty abnormal behavior. You need at least a dozen different guns for protection from robots.
I'm set.
This is a real concern. But if half can’t work, who will buy the products?
Few people quit a profitable SV company unless they are being targeted by HR-Management for termination.
I suspect he was really fired for being a screw-up.
Nah.
President Zuckerberg will push congress to implement a guaranteed income program.
Everyone gets a minimum living allowance paid from the profits made by the government directed robots. All work and robots will be controlled by government.
Robots will build and educate themselves...the big problem will be keeping the robots from recognizing that they don't need us and begin eliminating us.
Some AI computers have already invented their own language:
Facebook Shut Down AI After It Invented Its Own Language
"The system developed code words to make communication more efficient(and, maybe secret) and researchers took it offline when they realized it was no longer using English."
When AI computers start inventing things, the end is near. Unlike the human brain, the computer will be inventings things with a 'brain' that will contain EVERYTHING ever invented or done by man. Everything will be knowable by one quantum computer brain.
This is not science fiction anymore like my 1950's comic books were.
Be fearful...we will mishandle things.
Quantum Computers Are About To Get Real
"As the first qubit-based machines come online, scientists imagine the possibilities "
They will work but only if they have electricity.
It’s not the robots that will rule the world, it’s the ones who build (and program) the robots.
The same human greed will still be prevalent, just using nearly invincible robots as their preferred weapon to complete hitler’s quest to take over the world.
So long as greed, laziness, and dumbed down snowflakes are grown and groomed, worker output (thus jobs) will falter. Some one has to do the work, build the cars, etc...it’s will be robots (aka computers with mobility and weapons).
Someone’s watched way too many dystopian movies.
