There really won't be the same number of jobs created by these eliminations.
I men youd end up with the situation with gas pump attendant laws
Isn't it possible that by the time we will have acheived automation, there would be other kinds of expansion?
Like if you automate the majority of call centers and receptionists, that doesn't logically create a new sector to serve those computers.
Space, Extraterrestrial colonialism, etc?
And if the trucks drive themselves, that doesn't necessarily mean that there's a million more mechanic jobs.
More like the jobs of a thousand can be handled by ten.
Is it possible that at some point, we will need a genocide?
I think you have to accept that this is a fundamentally different revolution. We're not replacing human muscle power, we're replacing human intellect.
Its kinda happening in developed natios.
There will be new opportunities though.
People having less kids
Because at some point, the only thing valuable from humans will be Art.
When a generation ago people had like five, now people have one or two.
What you'll find is that things that were not economically feasible before due to labor costs will become feasible once human labor is much less valuable.
Like servants.
That's possible
Nowadays wealthy people have their servants in the form of illegal immigrants because that permits them to end-run around minimum wage laws.
There's also the fact that education costs may drop too, letting more get into design and development fields
But eventually such low-skilled labor will have such little economic worth that everyone will be competing for it. Everyone who can't do something that requires a high IQ at least.
And there are jobs where people want humans for the sake of humans, like in healthcare or education.
Nobody wants to have their arse wiped by a cold metal claw when they're in their 80s in a home somewhere.
Not everyone will be smart enough to innovate.
Thats not something that can be thaught.
^
That is the key fact that so many people refuse to accept.
Not everyone needs to innovate, most people in the fields are the people who make plans possible
For example, I can design a car, but I need other people to help me bring it to reality
Metal sintering.
Here's something interesting

Well lets say that theres some things that are impossible to innovate under current circumstances.
Many many things.
I meant automate not innovate
Derp
Certain tech jobs do not really required much intelligence to actually do. However, you do need to be trained to do them. You need to be taught the tech. This becomes a problem when companies refuse to offer programs to train workers for these positions and most of the schooling remains expensive. Particularly for the people who's jobs are being automated. As for software engineering, testers are an absolute necessity and being "dumb" is actually a bonus in some respect there. What better person to break your code than a fool.

I read this
Looked to the right
