Automation and Poverty

It is estimated that 73 million jobs in the US are projected to be lost to automation in 2030

According to the McKinsey Global Institute, nearly half of all the work we do will be able to be automated by the year 2055

Realistically, how do we stop mass poverty and homelessness due to automation losses, the only way I see to avoid this is through a universal basic income.

Automation will no doubt create SOME jobs, but it would only take 1 guy to take care of a production line of 20 or so automated workers, so the majority of people, especially old who are not college educated will be replaced by automation.

How do we make it so automation serves the average person and not just the mega rich?

    Automation and economies of scale are driving the cost of capital, and therefore capital-intensive goods, down. It used to be that a 3D Printer that could print engineering-grade materials cost $100,000. Now you can achieve 80% of that functionality on a $300 machine, and 100% on a $1000 machine.
    This is happening in multiple hardware categories: milling, turning, sheet cutting, molding, and light-duty robotics. We are on the cusp of a dramatic restructuring thanks to crashing capital costs.

                Yeah except the industrial revolution took 1760 - 1840 and created MORE jobs.

                Machine automation isn't going to create more jobs, it's going to take them away and most of it will be happening in the next 7 years instead of the span of a century.

                The revolution created factory lines that supported hundreds of people, machine and AI automation won't do that, it will get rid of those people and only require 1 foreman on the floor.

                industrial revolution is not the same as automation because they created textiles, iron and steel, coal mining, and more. These industries required a large workforce to OPERATE the machines, this created MORE JOBS THAN THERE WERE BEFORE

                The development of steam engines and the expansion of railways and canals required a significant labor force to build, maintain, and operate transportation networks.

                As people moved from rural areas to urban centers to work in factories. The growth of cities led to the demand for services, like housing, food production, transportation, and retail. This resulted in the creation of jobs in these sectors.

                technological innovations and inventions like developments in machinery, telecommunications, and scientific research created employment opportunities for engineers, scientists, and other skilled workers.

                The expansion of industrial activities required the development of supporting industries, such as banking, insurance, and logistics.

                The mass production of materials led to consumer goods like clothing, household items, and appliances, made these products more affordable and accessible to a broader population. This, in turn, created jobs in retail and distribution.

                Is there some reason to pretend that new, as-of-yet-unimagined jobs are somehow immune to automation, or so difficult that they will take longer to automate?

                If there are such jobs, why would there be enough of them to go around?

                The correct approach to an automation revolution is some form of collective specialized experience and method adaption of how to produce a product manually, through practice, then these people need to be skilled in teaching said method.

                That being said almost everyone is terrible at the above mentioned skills. So the best variant isn't coming soon. We're getting an overpriced variant, in which immoral and wicked people are going to be overpaid to produce a system.

                It is. Like inflation, the government does its best to obfuscate or outright lies to hide the true numbers. So that 3.4% rate they crow about does not include anyone who has given up and not actively looked for work in 4 weeks. They’re listed as not in the labor force and not counted, and there are millions of them. The labor force participation rate is the lowest that it’s been since the 50s, before women entered the workplace.

          Why do you just assume that it’s going to be factory jobs that are automated away, anon? They’ve been working on automating things like warehouse jobs, stocking store shelves, and fast food for years.
          And AI is going to eliminate a frickton of white collar and office jobs. Writers are already being replaced by LLMs for simpler tasks like writing articles and study guides. Anything that relies on pattern recognition is going away, because we can create AI expert systems that outperform humans every single time. The medical fields are going to be crushed outside of the hands-on jobs like surgeons. We’ve had expert systems that could outperform doctors at medical diagnoses for years now. Software developers are going to get hit as well. People are already using AI to automate basic code creation. And it’s writing better code than the Pajeets.
          And yeah, some jobs will be created for the people needed to build and maintain that shit, but it will be at least an order of magnitude less than the jobs eliminated.

            No they won't. You can't create AI lawyer, you can't create an AI doctor. Your AI can't drive as if you turn it on in Tesla right now it would kill you (guess how I know, it nearly killed me and 3 other guys just by going 5 lights up the street).

            > Software developers are going to get hit as well.
            That is extremely moronic. AI is worked on by software developers. If you copy paste code from StackOverflow like a typical prajeet, then your job will go away.
            But the reality is will IMPROVE production and speed and quality of the code that GOOD PROGRAMMERS produce. And as a result, there will be better code and after that likely even more sofware engineers. Because let's face it, every car has hardware, microprocessors , OS and basically every car is a big computer.

              Newer machine-learning models can easily do any juden job, paper-shuffling and decision-making based on precedent (legal nonsense) and learn and store more of it than any human so making a lawyer as an app is possible now.
              Not with anything based on obsolete neural-network and deep-* shit but the newer systems currently only used in military systems could easily learn to be a lawyer.

                No one likes paperwork, which is a task that consumes enormous amounts of lawyers' time. I specifically said the systems are good enough to know when a human's intervention is required, in the context of paperwork. These systems cut down on low-value human time and increase availability of high-value human time.

Right now you can literally ask your government the keeper of laws if something is legal and the best answer they can give you for complex legal questions is "uh... we don't know try it out and find out".

                That is a big one.

                While it casually undermines all legitimation of the current system (not that anyone would care in clown world),
                it will also keep AI from doing legal work, because it is culturally only allowed for humans to make up bullshit.
                AI would have to answer correctly, but there aren't even definitions for many legal terms.
                Also, many cases have contradicting laws that apply, in which case everyone pulls a straight face,
                and the most important law is arbitrarily pulled out of the arse of the judge or the bureaucrat if you don't have the time to go to court over it.

                I would scrap the department of education, and make a new department of virtual education. Schools would be repurposed as public meeting spaces or libraries. all education would be done remotely and on demand. Education would be tied directly to welfare. Internet would be covered as a basic human right so all people would have access to internet education at any time. Basic income would be paid on the condition that the recipient devotes time to online study in the pursuit of employment in desirable fields. They could even add incentive programs that pay more to pregnant women or training in fields that are in highest demand.
                My plan solves a lot of problems: The shitty education system in the USA, the lack of skilled workers, the population bust, unemployment due to automation. Probably a few others I didn't think of too.

                It's just inefficient and doesn't leverage modern technology. We're using an education system from the 1700's in 2023.
                The system I envision, the teachers would have to teach class once, and record it. This would be the virtual class and students would be paid for attendance. After the initial production, the teacher is available in some sort of group chat for any virtual students who have a question about the lesson, although ChatGPT could probably handle a lot of questions for them. The human element of having a person listen to you and communicate face to face is a valuable service and should be maintained. Automation isn't always going to be better if it loses the human interaction we crave. Education would be much more personalized. Much more efficient. I think back to my education. We had multiple 'study halls' per day, which translates to 45 minutes where nobody pays attention to a room full brats. I often had classes that were of no importance to me such as gym class. I suppose I was supposed to get some socialization out of it, but I mostly just learned to hate all the dumb buttholes I was stuck with for most of each weekday.

      It is estimated that 73 million jobs in the US are projected to be lost to automation in 2030

      According to the McKinsey Global Institute, nearly half of all the work we do will be able to be automated by the year 2055

      Realistically, how do we stop mass poverty and homelessness due to automation losses, the only way I see to avoid this is through a universal basic income.

      Automation will no doubt create SOME jobs, but it would only take 1 guy to take care of a production line of 20 or so automated workers, so the majority of people, especially old who are not college educated will be replaced by automation.

      How do we make it so automation serves the average person and not just the mega rich?

    Basic Income. Not Universal Basic Income. Only useful and valuable people should receive money and sustenance. People can make themselves more valuable through things like education. But education can be free or subsidized. Who ever privately owns the AI will own the world, even I'd it is AI themselves. We will have to think more tribally if we are to survive. If no one gets paid money goods and services can not be purchased. The economy will come to a halt and crash. If the owners of AI are White and pro-White(Not race traitors) it will be in their best interest to consider the whole human tribe.

      It's a nice fantasy, but reality looks different:
      A) As Henry Ford once said, what's the point in an economy where the people can't afford your car? Literally robotonomics can't exist without people buying the shit they produce.
      Hence it will not come to be. Either the robots will be used to seize the means or production but Bullshit jobs will multiply as to still allow for a wagie check OR the ultra rich will actually exterminate us as foretold, but then there won't be machines for production either because there is no need. Mass production was, as the name implies, created so things could be produced at mass for masses. Without masses you don't need mass production.
      No matter what future pans out, there is no robots creating everything with everyone else having nothing. It literally cannot exist because it violates every known rule of Supply and Demand.

      B) Have you seen the actual state of robots and AI? They're dreadfully moronic in many ways.

          So what? Every single instance of actual automation happening is meme tier, fake and gay or was already automated before:

          >The self-checkouts at grocery chains:
          They are literally ordinary cash registers with the scanning area reversed for single person use.
          It leads to an increase in theft is. as I always argue, it's not the final solution but only a half-automation. The future grocery chain has a few cashiers and a few self-checkouts. Not all self-checkouts. There is 1-2 employees overseeing the self-checkouts so theft doesn't happen, proving the meme that automation doesn't reduce employee count true. Instead of being the cashier, they now check if you cash out correctly. Oh and you still need the other serfs to fill up the grocery isles. No automation for that.

          >Boston Dynamics Robot dog patrolling the street:
          Cannot stop any crime whatsoever, is relatively powerless and can be shoved around.
          It's only use is documentation and profiling of crimes, not it's prevention. When people are being b***hes to Big Gov or Big Corp, they will still send out real boys and girls to bear your butt with a stick and taze granny to death.

          >Self-driving cars:
          Already half-banned and limited to tool assisted driving. Actually sleeping behind the wheel gets you ticketted by police and called a bad driver. gg automation. Another one you already lost before "it began".

          >Picture of robots in large facilities producing goods:
          Has been a thing since the 70's and continues to be a thing in the future. Literally not new at all, just more psyops bullshit to get you sad and hopeless.

          I'm not saying machines have no uses. But they are:
          A) Costly!
          B) Need maintenance, forget the self-repair meme.
          C) Need to be controlled.

          In short: Automation will always be an auxillary boost to your human work force, not it's main driver.
          What's more, there is work in producing the parts and the machines itself. See Boston Dynamics.

          Pic related is oh so great AI-generated picture. gg

            Hi, the numbers aren't quite correct. 1 person could oversee 20 robots, but not also maintain them and update them. Operator, technician and programmer are different roles.

            Also, the robot can only do what it is programmed to do. Average computer science guy can write the code, but he doesn't know how to weld, or shape metal, or topcoat, or anything.

            Industry 4.0 will be an explosion for the trades in the US. Manufacturing returns to the states.

            >old who are not college educated will be replaced by automation
            no not realy. it is more like "guess what, you're a line lead now, and you have four employees reporting to you. You're still a machinest, but you are going to take night school for six months at our expense - and the four employees that report to you are machine tender robots in a manufacturing cell."

            t.willy wonka doing this stuff

            Old people that have been working sales all their life aren't going to learn how to code, neither are librarians or cooks or lawyers.

            This is quite literally just the "learn to code" meme all over again.

              Hi anon, that's not what I said. Also, in the context of this thread, I don't think we are talking about sales or librarians or lawyers. Those things have already been automated.

              However, if I need to set up a manufacturing cell that involves welding, I need a welder to verify everything on that line. The welder's livelihood becomes more crucial. The robot cannot weld at the human level, but it is good for volume jobs.

              Human expertise is not going away. The move to automate is based on the three Ds. Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous. Things that we WANT the robots to do.

              We are going to commodify human interaction in the trades, not eliminate it.

              If someone is in this thread that truly believes robots can do 100% equivalent work in the next two decades, they are mistaken. The "old people" still working will need a skill bump, but they will not be removed from the trenches.

                They will not get any "skill bump". Also, it doesn't seem like you know what "automation" really refers to. It refers to the perception of the top management and shareholders as to how many workers they need. I've seen it first hand.

WE do want the robots to crawl 1.5 miles through a fricking pipeline to test ductility, WE do want the robots to make repeatable 2 meter long beads when welding perfectly, over and over again. WE do want the robots to descend to 100m and resume a search pattern. YOU? On your couch? Do you? Guess what? WE do not care.

              As a Sales guy I can tell you we are not going anywhere. In fact it will be the job of Sales people to convince the companies to take up the new hunk of junk of the day and replace the old one with, a job that will be tough as they argue "but my old one still works".
              It will be no different from selling laptop to end consumers, just more corporate bullshit and polite phrases thrown around.

              The more you make these unrealistic predictions, the more you out yourself as inexperienced when it comes to these matters. Automation will transform some industry branches a little, but it's not the revolution you think it is.
              The big "World will change forever" psyop is really just a huge advertizing campaign in it's own right for Big Corporate to jump on WEFs and Big Banker Larry's Fink ESG investing peen, a strategy that is *NOT* working as well as they'd have you believe.
              ESG investing is being a called the great loser of the 2020's so far. Nobody even wants to be an ESG Compliance Manager, and those who do get into that role are hired by companies so they can figure out the best way to bullshit around with the ESG report to get better loans.

              It's all a giant nothing burger with a few new job opportunities and a bunch of sales pitches, unironically waved in your faith not by "The New World Order", that's actually the order of old, probably their most well-kept secret.

                No, it won't. Sales literally will go nowhere as long as there is buyers.
                This is an unspoken truth everyone in sales knows, but you sell via the person and trust, not the product.

                If you got a phone call with a monotone, robotic voice tomorrow or a robot knocking on your door or you entered a store and some robot was showcasing a product - Would you buy that? The likely answer is no.

                Most customers can't even stomach a chatbot for customer support. Sales is 100% dependend on there being a guy or girl with Charisma. A robot CANNOT take that work.

                Like that, there is a lot of nuances to many industries where robotbros who are the next iteration of cryptobros, show their clear lack of understand for the work and what it requires.

                Most jobs aren't going to go anywhere, they will just be tool assisted more - IF the job of that company even wants to invest in robots.

                Full automation is a sci-fi dream that will die as quickly as flying cars and hoverboards. There is no debating this universal truth and all who fall for this automation psyop will be as dumbfounded as the vaxxcattle. Just that luckily this time there isn't a large penalty for being wrong on the matter. You either are correct or you feel stupid for having said something silly a few years back. *shrug*

The code will then analyse the voice, and pick an appropriate voice line to play (based on written code). Alternatively, there is a real person on the other side of the call, who most likely has a thick accent, often associated with scammers (i.e. Indian and Nigerian accents). They use the soundboard so they sound more believable.

                You have no idea what you are talking about.
                The market of a Sales Person usually already exists and in a few cases where it doesn't, there is still already an established niche the company wants you to get into.

                But the majority of the job is to build a trust-based relationship with the customer. You won't make a sale with some weirdo app. A unified market for everything? How would that even work.
                Please, I know other Germposters who aren't me aren't the brightest lightbulbs, but you grant my country's flag a new record for sillyness.

                You can't universally create an app for everything that sales to people when they at first don't even want something sold to them to begin with.

                That's the entire point in sales. You get people on board who originally aren't. If they were, you weren't there for the sale because the product would sell by itself, just standing in some isle.

They were taken off the market when Phillips realized that outfitting everyone with indestructable light-bulbs meant no more light-bulb business.

                Nobody here is going to support something that goes against human nature. As you are likely a Gamer, you should know this.
                Unity just curbstomped it's own goodwill to death, because it was trying to curbstomp it's main competitor with a devious scheme. We are talking two companies here, who both have all the money they could ever want already.

                Still they go to (economic) war with each other.

                There is no future where the market adapts for longer-lasting products and a better life for everyone. There is only new strife, eventually solved and replaced again by another new strife.
                The world is a cyclic system that must not ever stop moving and thus it won't. Harmony is unattainable, as is peace or solving world hunger. Endless conflict and competition are reality.

          I respect your write-up anon, but by saying these things you make a show of the fact, that you haven't understood money or power.

          The power in money is having the majority of it and using it as leverage in, and THIS PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, an established economical society with hierarchy.

          If you are the giga-homiellionaire, but nobody else has any money and starts checking out of society, you might as well have nothing. Because at this point it's you with the (now obselete) money vs every slowly feral-going individual.

          If you want money as the base of your power and leverage in a dangerous predatory world, you must hold all the competition within the economy, but at a monetary disadvantage.

          Here is a reminder that society is super concerned about "men checking out of society". The reason is exactly this phenomenon. When you discover the truth that fiat doesn't matter and the real power to live and breathe was inside you all along, you will abandon the way of fiat rendering their fiat useless.

          The doomsday scenario you have in your head is what the powerful tell us, who are half-awakened, to keep is in our chains. "We could always just kill you off".
          Yes, the same could happen to them.

          There is nobody in this world who has a greater investment in you playing the economical game of serfdom than the wealthy, for their wealth depends on your servitude, fren.

            You're a stupid fool. Do you think Elon Musk has a bank account (or even many) with hundreds of billions in it? He has only a tiny fraction of that as liquid wealth.

            What he does have is stock. Stock in all these companies that make things. He owns these companies. He owns the companies' factories. When he wants a yacht or a new car, he can just speak to the robot assistant, and the thing will be manufactured for him.

            The cash, whether it was piles of green paper, or digital 1s and 0s of virtual money in some bank account, that was never worth anything. What is true wealth... guess what? The rich people all own that, one way or another. The new robots, who will own those? The rich people own all that.

            They can still live the same lives of luxury and opulence they always had, because they will no longer need your labor to receive that. You've been cut out of the equation. Why should the little trading stamps and barter tokens that poor people needed matter at that point?

            And you're too fricking stupid to see it. Even when someone bothers to take the time to explain it to you, you just can't see it. I don't feel ashamed to suggest maybe you're getting what you deserve.

    If there is any formidable resistance the culprits and their good friends would run 24/7 coverage about it to grab the bull by the horns, so to speak, to control public opinion, and consequently their true, natural, and healthy actions away from their natural courses by socially engineering a framework of man vs machine to keep the culprits safe and scapegoat karma unto the resistance and never face resistance for the scapegoating that otherwise gets passed unto the law enforcers which leads to mysterious claims coming out of the wood work online. However, the cops and military without a job will just have to look for legal work, or else, and we all know how they got into these things for their economical opportunities over whatever else they could earnestly match with their skillsets.

    Why would I want to stop it? Me and mine are going to do fine, we'll be the ones doing the automating. In the meantime, we squirrel away money, buy up land, and try to become self-sufficient. Raise cattle and hogs, we'll always be fed. Raise sheep and cotton, always be clothed. Orchards and fields and gardens.

    You though, you're fricked. Supposing you're even still around. This is musical chairs, and rabble-rousing trying to get everyone to stop playing will just ensure your ass falls on the floor when the music stops. Find a goddamned chair already.

    There are always new jobs or industries coming up. There is a whole startup scene for that. Just look at the AI industry which didn’t exist ten years ago. The reason why we have unemployment is because companies outsourced production to China.

      >There is a whole startup scene for that. Just look at the AI industry which didn’t exist ten years ago.

      AI, as in the large language models (LLM) that you read about are completely mysterious to you. That industry maybe needs 2000 or 3000 experts, worldwide. It will never need to hire more. And you're not qualified.

      When 3 million drivers (taxis, truckers, whatever) lose their jobs in the coming decade, not a single one of them will be qualified to work on AI. But even if they were all qualified, 1 in 1000 would get a new job in that sector.

      The startup scene consists of software bros, a dozen in an office, figuring out how to automate something that used to employ hundreds or thousands. There are a finite number of industry sectors, a finite number of businesses, for them to automate. And in every case, they are reducing the number of jobs.

      The "whole startup scene" as you refer to it, causes jobs to be lost. It always causes jobs to be lost. It is not your savior, it is your doom. Uber, for instance, takes 5000 taxi dispatch jobs all across the country, and has a team of 75 people doing what they use to do. AirBnB takes away 50,000 jobs in the hospitality sector, and has a team of 40 replacing those. (Even if you count the people letting out their rooms and guest houses as "workers", the only people who can do that are those who own two or more homes, so it's disenfranchising the lower classes who work menial jobs so the semi-rich can get a little richer).

      Jesus fricksticks, you people are all moronic.

    Hi, the numbers aren't quite correct. 1 person could oversee 20 robots, but not also maintain them and update them. Operator, technician and programmer are different roles.

    Also, the robot can only do what it is programmed to do. Average computer science guy can write the code, but he doesn't know how to weld, or shape metal, or topcoat, or anything.

    Industry 4.0 will be an explosion for the trades in the US. Manufacturing returns to the states.

    >old who are not college educated will be replaced by automation
    no not realy. it is more like "guess what, you're a line lead now, and you have four employees reporting to you. You're still a machinest, but you are going to take night school for six months at our expense - and the four employees that report to you are machine tender robots in a manufacturing cell."

        Ok that's a Kuka with a Lincoln Electric R450 Robotic Power Source.

        I can tell you from experience - It CAN weld. But it does not KNOW HOW to weld.

        Any 'dude' or computer science person could learn how to make it work, but only a WELDER will be able to tell you that it is doing a good job.

        Repeatability down to the micron doesn't mean it is GOOD. If you run 4-6 of these units in a single cell, you will need a trades person overseeing them - not a CS person.

          I agree but you also just eliminated 6 welders job and created 1 welder job to oversee them, so all in all there are 5 less welding jobs in the world now.

            I know this seems correct, and I didn't want to repeat what I had said in a previous post - robotic welding is GREAT for repeatability, especially for horrifying welds like 2 meters long, or around and around a pipeline.

            But for real work - TIG work - no. We're not there. Working on an airframe? Like, one that will kill people if there is something wrong? Or fail a multimillion-dollar aircraft? No. That's still humans.

            You have reduced the amount of stressful, prolonged, and often totally not repeatable welding - so yeah that will cost a few welder jobs. But not all of them. The welder in what I cite would still need 2-3 welders doing the tight fits, complexities, exotics, etc.

            Don't forget - a robot can't just switch tasks. If Huey is doing 2 meter perfect beads on cold press steel .5 inch plate (yes mixing formats on purpose, thanks client!) then that's ALLLllll Huey is going to do. If you then need to do titanium ducting and also aluminum tubing - you either have two *other* robots, or people.

            Also if any of these tasks aren't simple repetition - i.e. something can go wrong, the parts don't align 100%, something looks funny, a problem with tempering, a small waiver in tollerances - robot can't handle that, and at worst, ignores it and creates sub-standard work.

              We already have multi material auto printers, why not multi material welders?

              Why can't a auto welder work on an airframe? I agree we're not there now, but in 20 or so years maybe, and again you could probably just have a couple dudes go over their work, and fix up whatever they may have missed.

                In 20 years? Sure, maybe even sooner.

                Don't forget though - additive manufacturing (printers) does not have the same challenges as subtractive manufactuing.

                Huey's needs are met by machine tenders, conveyor belts, etc. Sometimes even those jobs are currently done by humans (youve been putting staples in a stapler for 80 years, calm down).

                Often, getting Huey to switch jobs would be easier if you just add Dewey. Dewey will handle Titanium. Louie will do the pipeline welds or aluminum.

                A robot welder can work on airframes, but then it only works on airframes. And yes, for the current generation we will always need dudes going over their work.

                Yes. Which is why the current "old guys" - machinests, welders, w/e - are set in their jobs and on-target for retiring at 65. We need that time for industry to come up to speed. The vast majority of manufacturers only have a plan - A PLAN - to move in to true automation. But shareholders will NEVER allow this to happen with more than 10% or 20% of production at a time, and over many, many fiscal years. Else you risk profit.

              No, it won't. Sales literally will go nowhere as long as there is buyers.
              This is an unspoken truth everyone in sales knows, but you sell via the person and trust, not the product.

              If you got a phone call with a monotone, robotic voice tomorrow or a robot knocking on your door or you entered a store and some robot was showcasing a product - Would you buy that? The likely answer is no.

              Most customers can't even stomach a chatbot for customer support. Sales is 100% dependend on there being a guy or girl with Charisma. A robot CANNOT take that work.

              Like that, there is a lot of nuances to many industries where robotbros who are the next iteration of cryptobros, show their clear lack of understand for the work and what it requires.

              Most jobs aren't going to go anywhere, they will just be tool assisted more - IF the job of that company even wants to invest in robots.

              Full automation is a sci-fi dream that will die as quickly as flying cars and hoverboards. There is no debating this universal truth and all who fall for this automation psyop will be as dumbfounded as the vaxxcattle. Just that luckily this time there isn't a large penalty for being wrong on the matter. You either are correct or you feel stupid for having said something silly a few years back. *shrug*

              It doesn't need to be full automation to destroy our entire civilization without course correction. Famously, unemployment during the Great Depression was 30%. What would the world look like if 40% of the jobs not only disappeared but disappeared permanently with no chance of a 1950s revival?

                Yes, but all objections are temporal objections. People believe that being frozen when they die will work because EVENTUALLY there will be technology to revive them.

                We're looking at a future, and it is automated. Dull (warehouses), Dirty (mining, pipelines, harvesting), dangerous (I mean seriously pick one). Three-Ds. I don't want to send guys 2 miles down a hole to get salt or lithium or uranium ore. I don't want people crawling through sewers or pipelines to test them. I don't want people to have to mechanically sort through piles and racks of shit in order to put it on a belt so someone else can put it in a box to ship.

                Let the robots do it. Bring the work week down to 30. Automation works.

    UBI works but only as monetary policy.
    Another way to say UBI is to make everyone in the nation a co-owner of all automation that gets paid a dividend from the automation.
    In the future we might have limits on computational power that a company can use and require them to "rent" the right to computational power from a real citizen. Basically people could submit the right to use their allotted AI to a work board and companies would hire that license for some period of time. When people got older they might switch from selling their AI to using it to run a nursing bot or something.

                Some CEOs are paid more than that a year. Surely an AI system that is objectively better would justify that cost.
                A human costs about half a million and 15 years to build to a level of being reasonably economically useful. The whole point of machines making machines is that it drives down the cost. Each step that removes the labor cost of that 120 million makes the next machine cheaper until the price is 0.

                All humans are useless if people without skills and jobs are useless in the machine future because and here's the trick no human can compete with a good enough machine. So you either accept the future is humans not working letting the machines do it all or you accept that one day all the people of the world will be dead because they couldn't afford to live or have children and died off, including the ultra rich, leaving either them to repopulate the world as the "owners" that do nothing or to finally die off when some machine system refuses to sell them something they need to live because they ran out of money due to a lack of customers and machine efficient hostile competition.

                We will just kill them, like putting down animals at the vet, but we all know how the Chinese treat cats and dogs.
                Black folk should die but that doesn't mean it should be in pain or slowly. Bullet to the face and setting them on fire is pretty quick and cheap.... but the Chinese may not be as nice.

      if for example your plumbing came on pre printed boards that could be pulled out and replaced a bot could do it

      instead its fricking water legot where a human needs to diagnose what the frick previous humans have done and itterated to fix it

      so for example pre planned homes could make ai replace this easily

      also hyper advanced robotics can also replace this however

      you would need a multi million dollar bot to service thousand Doller issues at probably a slower pace than a human

      pre planned however is tens of thousands for tens and a human would still be faster but the level of sophistication in the robot exists now

        The board will replace the CEO at the orders of the majority of shareholders because while it has a big upfront cost of 120 million, that's literally just a single year's compensation for the CEO and this 120 million CEO bot is better than any human at whatever business it's running.

        Why would the shareholders that control the company by the mechanism of the board of directors keep around a human when they have a better and cheaper option?

            Shareholders want money. Currently the job of CEO can't be done by a machine. Once it can and some business with a CEOBOT is making all the money in the world most companies will start looking to replacing the hugely expensive C suite of employees.

            Your stupid or ignorant if you think a Shareholder will accept making less money because they want to keep around a human as the CEO.
            Let me put it to you this way, if you told me I would get 1% more dividend of my shares if we fired the current CEO and replace them with a machine that I was confident would do a better job I'd vote to fire the CEO and get more money.

                Fears about AI destroying art are unfounded. AI generation is just a very useful tool the same as any photoshop filter. In fact the modern production pipeline can take advantage of AI to build a library of assets based on a single artists style, so instead of a generalized AI you have an AI whose dataset all comes from one particular artist with his own particular style and then you generate all the assets based on that dataset. It's a great tool for turning the artwork of one artist into a whole virtual world with a cohesive art style. The role of an artist might change a bit. The process of art might be somewhat replaced by automation but the human element still plays a vital role as the art director overseeing the AI and correcting it where it deviates from the artistic vision. Instead of fearmongering, we should be excited that automation will open up the field of art to everyone. Us artists have had a monopoly on creating art because we developed the skillset, but if you can automate some of that mechanical skill, then anybody with a good idea can generate those images. It's a good thing for most people. Maybe not ideal for working artists trying to make money unless they get good at leveraging AI as a tool.

                So basically all but self direct commercial art is someone describing something poorly to an artist often making reference to something existing and asking for that but different.

                That's more or less prompting at it's core. In not too long we are going to get very good on command art. I made this Rias for your reply.

    This is a good thread so far. I'm enjoying the comments.

    I worked in a modern factory in the automotive industry in the US. Our factory floor was divided into a few sections, and the first one was the robotics section, where our local engineers were manufacturing the robotic arms that we would use for fabrication. I was there for a few years and in that time I did see the gradual replacement. A robot would come off the production line, ready to go, and it would go out on the factory floor, and one or two employees would get laid off. It was happening very gradually.
    The robots need to be built, and tested, and maintained, which is a job and a good paying job at that. If you are a capable machinist and roboticist you will be in extremely high demand. Still it's a skilled job, not an unskilled one, so you are creating a nice middle-class job at the cost of 2 working-class jobs. Do with that what you will.

      Because we are operating in a system of power and money is the expression of that power.
      Nobody is going to hand you anything out, unless the hand out is an expression of lack of power - Which is exactly what UBI is. It is associated with the dirty, weak, lazy, ugly, uneducated and so much more negative things - All which are the anti-thesis of power.

      The symbols of power are cleanliness, strength, discipline, wealth, beauty, intellect certified by education.

      The system is it's own end, it's goal the separation from chaff and weath. A pyramid is kept as shape and the masses who have the least accentuate the few who have the most.

      UBI is there to solidify this like any other monetary reform that came before and will come thereafter. If you rely on a handout from someone, then what even is your existence?

But it doesn't cost them the job at all, in fact they are the workers operating these systems and they are not beholden to it, the service provider offering this system is obeying them instead.

          What's more, despite these systems in place they still get outside help from yet other service providers of the price tag and the offer are good.

              You can get hired in many places. You need to find it in yourself to seek out employment, but you can do it. Don't fret the small stuff, if a job requires many things of you and you fulfill 4/5 criteria or even 3/5 criteria, send that job application anyway.

              A useful tip: Most companies now have higher requirements as a safeguard so they can reject people freely, not because they expect all of those things.
              You see, they can't go by face alone anymore because that's discrimination. So they need plausible deniability for not hiring and for firing someone. Hence the ultra high requirements on every job posting.

              This is one thing I wish they would have told me when I was young.
              You can do it fren, believe in yourself, appear well-groomed to the job interview, make an impression. You will get the shot you deserve.

                I interviewed a guy that told us a story about his drinking buddy and the time he got a DUI for driving a combine on the wrong side of the highway.
                I wanted to hire that guy because anyone that's honest enough to tell you a story about getting drunk and driving farm equipment on the wrong side of the road during a job interview is going to tell you the truth at work. Also likely has a lot of funny stories.

                I see a lot of young people disillusioned now and I was once like that, too.
                Everywhere is negative and hostile messaging. This thread in fact belongs to this demoralization effort. It's why I'm so strongly feeling about this. Never give up.

                If you want a funny little thought, always remember Big Corporate who oversells what you need at their job position, so they can be covertly discriminatory, biased or maybe even racist in their hiring practices.

                I had a boss before who asked "Well do you really think we need HIM" when I introduced a Black guy's cv.

            I've seen HR automation scrape thousands of resumes and sort the data into spreadsheets letting us the department hiring sort by education, qualification location and those sorts of things. The accuracy rate was 100% for the resumes that were shown as missing that information in the spreadsheet.

              This is true, but it still depends on many factors who gets hired: Cases in point:
              >Not hired because you are overqualified
              >Not hired because the person doing recruiting didn't vibe with you at the interview
              >Not hired because something about your presentation was off

              Even here the human element matters.
              Also most job postings aren't answered by thousands of guys. Try some odd 10-30.
              If they get three digits worth of applications, it has to be one of the most sought-after positions like something something IT-server guy because everybody wants to collect those techbro bucks while videa gaming.

                The human element might be the selector but the automation preselects.
                The local economy had a big downturn when the price of oil and gas dropped putting tens of thousands of qualified and skilled workers out of a job ( think the total number was about 70,000). When we needed to hire a position that included Power Engineer as a requirement very much over a thousand power engineers applied.

                That's a very situational edge case, but the generalist statement is true that automation helps pre-select.
                Still, you will probably also give the 4/5 criteria guy a chance here and there, even if just to see if you can lowball him on the pay a little or mold him to your will.

                I'd always try to 1:1 match what was on a job posting because I think that's how you get around the automation filter. Sure my master degree implies that I finished high school but if the job says high school and a degree I would include both.

      If I was a crafty person and if robots and the control software got good I'd make a robot/program to do robot maintenance for me.

    This fake and gay psyop bullshit was released almost a decade ago and 0 jobs have been automated. There will be no technological employment. There will be no robots. There will be no AI. You will work and toil away as a slave to israelites for the rest of you life and you will be permanently stuck with 2010 tech.

      You sound pessimistic. Most of the things you said wont exist, already do exist. Jobs have been automated. I can have ChatGPT do 1000 different things I would have had to pay someone to do once upon a time. robots have existed and do exist and continue to advance. AI runs all of society, if you were unaware, the entire economy is driven by high frequency trading algorithms.

        Freedom is an illusion. Like infinity or harmony, you can only ever get so close, maybe inch a centimeter closer. But always is it out of reach.

        We have the freedom to make certain decisions, but we are not fully free and never will be. Nobody is.

          Freedom is a choice. I make the choice in this moment to be free. I am free. In this moment nobody can stop me and I can do literally anything I can imagine. Who would stop me? Who could stop me? That's freedom.

          A lot of perceived slavery is illusionary. If you believe you are an owned slave of some super israelite, then I guess you are. If you are cool with that, fine, good for you. It's not my reality. In my reality I am free.

    "Automation" is a nice buzzword that has been used to scare gullible workers into low pay, and to dupe self-overestimating executives pit of a lot of money as well.

    Truly a classy piece of scamming, perfect for weeding out technoreligious morons.

      I wonder how long before they go the Warhammer 40k route and start using human brains for computation. Musk already has neuralink in development. The human brain is an extremely capable computer, so if they could work out a good interface for reading and writing to brains, they could just use those instead. People want to make androids that look human but are robots inside but I've been thinking the better solution is to grow bodies and have technology that drives it, sort of a little head robot that guides the meat body. The most recent science allows them to take stem cells and turn them into a developing fetus, with the intent of growing organs on demand, with a perfect match to the patient. I just think, if you can grow an organ, why not grow a whole body and make biobots.

        In theory, you don't need human brains, just some lab-grown brain goo. The issue would be programming and interfacing it. Completely uncharted territory.
        >Musk already has neuralink in development.
        Aside from the transistors inside the SoCs, the miniaturization of everything else lags behind. State of the art manufacturing/assembly accuracy is at the 10 micron level. Brain surgery is an order of magnitude worse. The neuralink is also severely limited in terms of I/O bandwidth. Chips are designed to work in GHz, while brains evolved to work in Hz.

          Using the new methods of growing a fetus that has no mother or father and no womb, by taking stem cells from a doner.. They could source stem cells from someone with a really high IQ and then grow a brain in a lab from those stem cells. It's as you say, just brain goo and not a person, but they could improve the wetware interface that links the biology to the technology, to speed up the advancement of the technology without being too creepy and amoral about it. Even animal experimentation is morally questionable and I feel bad for the monkey with a neuralink in his head. Growing a brain in a vat from stem cells is at least morally less evil. It wasn't a person and it wasn't going to be a person, but it's a blank brain in a jar.

    With a more automated education system you could start to really fine tune for individual learning styles. Different people learn in different ways.
    Some people are visual learners. They want to see pictures and notes on a board. The information goes through their visual cortex.
    Other people are auditory learners. They can close their eyes and listen to a lecture and absorb all that information in the auditory parts of the brain.
    Some people have to learn by doing, and mimicry. They need to see the act, and then attempt to reproduce it and only in doing it repeatedly do they gain the muscle memory of the thing.
    Any of these paths can be the optimal path for an individual student and some students will not learn well if you try to teach them using a path they are ill suited to. Figuring out the optimal methods to retain the students attention and speed up learning would have powerful knock on effects.
    Imagine a student with poor eyesight who prefers auditory lessons, being channeled into a series of podcasts and audio lectures.
    You will find in our current system they sort of do a little of each. They show you, they tell you and they make you do the homework. Try everything, it's a system built to work for everyone. Being ok for everyone isn't being optimal for the individual though. We can do better.
