Automation is cancer

Welfare is cancer

i would agree, but i also wonder at what point is it useful? i do think that everyone will be out of a job in 50years so its whatever

I'm not going to talk much shit about welfare, there was a time when i needed it.

IT's gonna kill off every job market

yep.

so what else are people gonna do without welfare who really need it?

it already is/has

and don't have pensions or w/e?

Who's going to fix the machines that break down?

I guess die.

Machines will be able to self-repair XP

so then you won't even have to pay a human to fix it

you act like you can't get a machine to fix another machine once ai becomes more developed

ye

There's already machines on auto assembly lines that *can* fix each other so it's not a matter of if but when

Sometimes you have hard power failures due to bad electrical wiring and it blows a breaker

What happens then

Again look at it this way, why would a company pay more for overhead than it has to?

Maybe the taxes paying for ubi become greater than the cost of hiring workers but that's a naive hope.

and ofc, the jobs needed in those fringe cases will be highly restricted/contested, making for an unhealthy job market

`Maybe the taxes paying for ubi become greater than the cost of hiring workers but that's a naive hope.`
You mean putting bailout money towards UBI instead of failing companies? sounds good

i mean, most sensors give a code when something goes, when that sensor is triggered then you can easily automate a fix for a certain thing, also the "who's going to fix the robots" is a faulty question at best

because the amount of jobs will still be way less then the specialized people to fix said issues that can't be fixed

I don't like socialism and UBI has its flaws, but industry bailouts is just confirmation of a monopoly

it's a sham

fucked if we do, fucked if we don't

<:clownpepe:564530802667290625>

certain companies not allowed to fail for *'reasons'* but others are

so much for a free market amirite?

atleast in the us yes

Yeah, from what I've seen it's asking for trouble. Companies aren't going to pay for it without a lot of demands and strings attached.

who cares if you're bad at doing business when taxpayers will fund you regardless?

there's no incentive to do better

Now hopefully Amazon can shake things up with ISPs

lmao

i didn't know that was even a thing
