      This. The faster China automates, the more productive their economy will be. The labor pool there will simply move towards service oriented jobs where robots cannot automate it.

          All Africa gives is natural resources and labor.

      Most industries use various forms of automation like computer controlled milling machines and have been doing for several decades. They still employ people because machines need to be overseen and operated. You only lose the 0 IQ jobs that nobody wants and only take because they have to. The flaw was always mass-urbanization, abolition of the commons, and the deviation from traditional lifestyles for most people as most people were farmers and other than the tools they needed to farm and maintain their houses or locally unavailable materials, they were usually fairly self-sufficient as communities.

      Moreover, there is demand for many products and services that require or use a lot of handwork where it would probably always be much more cost effective to use human labor, i.e. musical instruments, agriculture (especially with delicate fruits), skilled repair services, etc.

      AI is a meme. It would be better to stop spending tax money to subsidize its development. It would be even better to stop fantasizing about it.

        This 100%. Across every wave of automation we've seen one thing has been constant: humans cant be removed entirely. We can only really reduce the number of humans needed to an I infinitesimal degree, and while that means fewer jobs overall, the remaining jobs might even get higher wages. I long for the day when you pull into your job at the factory, plug in your neuralink in your office, and run the whole manufacturing facility from an armchair while making 100k a year. Before that happens a lot of people are going to die from homelessness, of course, but you cant make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

          Wrong. That is NOT happening. Never in history have more people been protected against this than now.
          Every industrialized nation has welfare programs that stop this from happening.
          The homeless people you see are mostly mentally ill and REFUSE government assistance.
          If you fall and break you leg, every hospital in every industrialized nation will accept you and fix your leg.
          No one needs to freeze to death or starve in any industrialized nation.

        AI is not a meme. Right now it seems silly because it's still in it's infancy but it will eventually take over huge portions of the economy. All pencil pushers, office work, administrative positions will be obsolete in a couple decades.

          No, I'm somewhat of an AI enthusiast, but I have to admit it's still a meme. Realistically AI will probably never completely remove humans where it's applicable, but it has shown promise in the most monotonous tasks in fields like programming, but it cant tackle much more complex tasks.

              What I'm saying is that it will probably slice off either a fourth to a half of office workers, but thatll be mostly because AI assisted office workers will have 3x the productivity of unassisted ones, so fewer overall workers will be needed. We'll never be able to completely remove office workers. This isnt all that different than the gains in productivity of offices caused by computers, you need far fewer workers with the introduction of excel, for instance, but office jobs still exist, and they're more complicated than the basic pencil pushing of the past.

      This reminds me of an interesting factoid. For a time, Ancient Rome had so much success on the battlefield that the Romans had more slaves than they knew what to do with. And we're not just talking cotton picker slaves, they had teacher slaves, writer slaves, artisan slaves, builder slaves, every kind of slave you could think of. But the end result for Rome was terrible. The people were divided into the rich slave-owners and the poor, who owned nothing. The rich fell into the trap of degeneracy and hedonism, they stopped having kids, and military discipline nosedived. Meanwhile, the poor weren't needed anymore due to the abundant slave labour, and they would have all starved to death were it not for the grain dole.

            As companies mechanize manual labor, they *gradually* push people into service jobs, administrative jobs, specialization jobs, and yes even welfare subsistence.
            Now, this shift won't occur instantly or globally, so there are plenty opportunities to make profits off of the labor disparity.
            Also, your overall evaluation is accurate. This process is absolutely not sustainable with current population dynamics and will result in either calamity or dystopia. Especially so, if automation begins to overtake the other occupations mentioned in any substantial fashion.
            I expect that the established global powers will try to avert this potential crisis by 'trimming down' the global population via social engineering campaigns and other less savory methods.

                Long before manual labor, since the agility and spatial common sense a lot of it requires, is beyond the abilities of a machine. What you consider to be "mental labor", on the other hand, is quickly being exposed for the nonhuman, mechanized, trivially computerizable endeavor that it is. Mindless bots will much sooner replace posters like you than they will learn to tie their shoes.

          You just sell for less. You pay your employees less. You set your factory in a cheap shithole with no rents and feed your workers from the company garden.
          Consider the premise than in a world of high automation labor will be cheap. The same force you fight against also makes labor cheap.
          Theres coal miners in Pakistan than make $2.5 a day for 10 hours of labor. This is enough for them as they get food from their own agriculture, pay no rent but still need cash for things they cant make (like guns)

        It didn't end well for horses, their masters exterminated them as a consequence

        https://i.imgur.com/cXsXvwD.jpg

        What would be the outcome of this and is it a good idea?

        Money isn't real. The only actual reason for why people have to work is to produce enough goods people need, if that is handled by automation then people logically shouldn't need to work. Thus you are only left by the israeli reasons e.g. wanting to exterminate humans trough slavery. A smart society will simply automate, tax the automation, pay out UBI and let most of their populous do what ever they want which increases both the total output and the human quality of life. Societies doomed to fail will instead come up with pointless things for people to do or hamper automation in a desperate attempt to "save the jobs". The first society will always outcompete the second being more efficient but also more attractive to the people so it's the natural course unless of course the second type bombs the world to stone age in the wars they inevitably start when they are at the end of the tunnel.
        In the sense we are moving towards both ends at once, on one hand it's now possible to enjoy quite nice lifestyle while being a neet for the entirety of your life. On the other more and more jobs are becoming bullshit ones that generate no value or even negative value that exist just to employ people, especially in government but also in corporations and more of the economy is simply not real anymore.

    You can work with old techniques even if new superior techniques appear. Like, you can plant crops by hand or with draft animals and fertilize them with manure, despite the existence of tractors and chemical fertilizer. Same for any other labor, its true.

    The danger from automation and advanced technologies stems from the relief of natural selection pressures, there are a lot of people not dying when maybe they should.

    Of course there will still be "natural selection" but manmade relief begs for manmade selection. Drastic and dramatic genocides are maybe not required (immediately) but a conscientious and pragmatic awareness of the issue is critical.

    so wut wrong here?
    have we silently started to transition to a star-trek post scarcity society, as was imagined by our grandfathers, but started falling apart because post-scarcity societies don't work well with capitalism/commercialism? And no, I'm not advocating communisms, just pointing out that the direction we're headed towards, the dreams of our ancestors, is not compatible with the current status quo of out society.

      The minimum IQ required to usefully participate in the workforce will keep increasing. Shaneqkwa isn't going to be programming self checkouts when the boomers finally die and there's no financial incentive to have human cashiers any more. The 6 figure jobs where people attend meetings all day and pretend to work without any meaningful economic activity won't survive economic downturn.

    Nope, all it'll do is make whatever morons try this fall far behind the rest of the world.
    I am optimistic that eventually AI can take over all kinds of jobs and humans get to do whatever we want.
    However, it's the point between now and then that I'm worried about. UBI seems like a solution. But, even forgetting the hyperinflation, why would anyone wanna work. The stimulus packages proved that people would just sit on their butts and watch Netflix. Imagine we start giving everyone free money. Those who have lost their jobs get to do whatever they want. What about the scientists, engineers, technicians etc. people who still haven't lost their jobs and are essential to maintain robots. Why would they work only to get the everloving bejesus taxed out of them?

    the biggest problem with automation is proprietary software.
    need to get those certs yall.
    automation is needed to maintain a growth economy.
    the reason why schwabln wants you vill own nothing is becuase a decentralization of resources means theres alot more people utilizing and possibly fricking up resources than a centrailzed stockpile of goods.
    and economically speaking
    giving people the benefit of the doubt that they will misuse or pollute shit is one reason why all reaources are regulated to the point they are already.

    given it would probably be alot easier to execute some joe on his land killing protected wildlife and polluting the groundwater with his improper gas well than it is to line up the whole board for nestle.
