“Nearly half of American jobs today could be automated in “a decade or two,” “

Yeah, and apparently everyone expects these complex machines to materialize out of thin air and then work flawlessly forever after.

Nobody has to design them, build them, monitor them troubleshoot them, repair them or install them.

Can’t wait to se the behemoth that will replace me at my work of on-site monument inscribing and repair. I’ve speced it out in my head and believe me it’s a doozey.

Sounds like something a robot the size of a vacuum cleaner could do.

Machines already design and build other machines, machines already troubleshoot themselves, and machines can repair each other and install themselves easily.

Before you think you can’t be replaced look at the modern age of mining. Strip mines run with dozens of machines that don’t have any people in them, there’s one person in a tower watching and not pushing the kill switch.
