It will result in 45% of people losing jobs because robots don't need a paycheck. No. I actually work automating various tasks at my job that were manual at one point. ZERO people have been fired because of less work needing to be done. They take the time freed up and assign them with new tasks so that the company can be more productive. Automation does increase productivity but eventually it will replace most human labor really soon. At least things like transportation and some knowledge work. You'll never be able to totally replace humans because you'll always need humans to at least make sure the automations haven't broken, or in the case of publicly accessible things like self-driving trucks you'll need to make sure people aren't stealing / vandalizing that shit. you can eliminate truck drivers by putting cameras around and just having people watch the shit over monitors but there will always be people at some step in the equation making things work. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:891510343] in "Augm...
