This is total BS

Automation is not going to kill all jobs, if for no other reason than it would take 20 years working at full employment to build and integrate all those robots.

The rise of automation will generate new jobs that do not even exist now and create new fields of employment unless we institute a guaranteed income which will trap people in welfare

A guaranteed annual income will manufacture an idle welfare class and give rise to all the dysfunctionality the the current welfare system does

Why won’t the robots/AI be able to do them?

The video I posted previously is interesting...

Unless there are jobs where it is impossible to create processes that allows automation, I don’t see how humanity can keep up with computers and robots that double their intelligence and capacities every 18 months, or so.

It’s like that story where a Chinese emperor rewarded a peasent, for saving the emperor’s son, with one wish. He wished that, on the first day of the month, he gets a single grain of rice. Every subsequent day, his allotment of rice doubled, so the second day he received two grains of rice. On the third day, he received 4 grains. By the monthend, he owned all the rice in China.

Even if computers dont even have the intelligence of an amoeba right now, if their capacity doubled thirty times over over the next 50 years, would they really be that dumb?
