I am not screwed

I intend to make a killing building all those robots that are going to take every ones jobs.

It took 35 years to get PCs in American houses

It will take a bit more to do the same with robots.

millions of once solidly middle-class people will be left idle and jobless.

Jobless, yes. Idle? No. Busy sharpening knives, loading weapons, building bombs, and scouting out the gated communitiies where the Oligarchs live.

That is the largest impact I see, autonomous vehicles taking over driving jobs in the freight industry. And that brings up a question of affect, will the increase in efficiency result in more autonomous delivery vehicles taking to the road or less because they are more efficiency?

I would think that we would see more because the cost of delivery of goods would go down, with that the US would need more energy from fossil fuels and perhaps a need for more workers in the energy industry (coal, oil and gas).

We need laws to limit automation.

I have this frightening sense that you are serious.

The skilled trades are certainly something that we cannot automated and AI can’t do because it is ethereal.

There are a billion or more without electricity, another one or two with irregular electricity.
Using power to support the luxury of AI with legs without improving the bottom billion’s quality of life is immoral.

The problem with dictating that the AI will decide for us is the algorithms. They are mostly being written by liberals, such as low thresholds for a decision to send someone home to die or considering conservative values a mental illness for diagnosis.

There are jobs that will stay in human hands because humans demand such. For example, wanting the human doctor who won’t decide to kill you per an algorithm or caregiver that can’t be hacked.

the way I see the trucking industry.....terminals will be built at the city limits....trucks with drivers will move the trucks to the city limits and automatically send the truck down the interstate...no lunch, coffee or toilet breaks
