The house you live in?

2019-10-04 22:59:32 UTC  

You build it yourself you fat twat

2019-10-04 22:59:46 UTC  

Do you even understand how to build a home?

2019-10-04 22:59:51 UTC  

Do most people?

2019-10-04 23:00:06 UTC  

Calling me a fat twat doesnt help you

2019-10-04 23:00:09 UTC  

There are more people in the world than there were when people built their own houses.

2019-10-04 23:00:19 UTC  

Automation will require an entirely new form of econkmics

2019-10-04 23:00:20 UTC  

My grandpa built his own house.

2019-10-04 23:00:27 UTC  

Good for him

2019-10-04 23:00:35 UTC  

Without the assistance of automation

2019-10-04 23:00:38 UTC  

Im sure it was rewarding

2019-10-04 23:00:48 UTC  

Automation is not going to make production more difficult

2019-10-04 23:00:50 UTC  

How is he going to pay for the tools?

2019-10-04 23:01:08 UTC  

Or are you suggesting we go back to the stone age if you job is absorbed by automation

2019-10-04 23:01:11 UTC  

You either make your own damn tools or... HOW DO YOU AFFORD THE AUTOMATION

2019-10-04 23:01:26 UTC  

IF YOU CAN AFFORD AUTOMATION YOU CAN AFFORD ANYTHING

2019-10-04 23:01:41 UTC  

How does my company knight transportation afford automation?

2019-10-04 23:01:52 UTC  

They profit 1 billion dollars a year

2019-10-04 23:01:54 UTC  

IT DOESNT THATS WHY IT HAS YOU

2019-10-04 23:01:54 UTC  

Thats how

2019-10-04 23:02:05 UTC  

The tech isn't there yet

2019-10-04 23:02:14 UTC  

Until a robot can do what I can do faster better and more accurately

2019-10-04 23:02:31 UTC  

But a robot that can do everything you can is more expensive than you, so they won't bother.

2019-10-04 23:02:37 UTC  

I have to sleep, eat, shit, and other things, I have a family

2019-10-04 23:02:42 UTC  

Not really

2019-10-04 23:03:03 UTC  

Can that robot change a flat tire?

2019-10-04 23:03:28 UTC  

I cost my company probably a hundred thousand dollars a year in wages, insurance, and liability alone

2019-10-04 23:03:41 UTC  

Probably if you wanted one for that purpose

2019-10-04 23:04:11 UTC  

I can change one on my car, I dont know the first thing about diesel mechanics

2019-10-04 23:04:12 UTC  

But they're not charging your battery or doing maintenance on you or calibrating you so you can see the road clearly

2019-10-04 23:04:16 UTC  

You do that yourself

2019-10-04 23:04:20 UTC  

No I dont

2019-10-04 23:04:25 UTC  

The shop does

2019-10-04 23:04:33 UTC  

The company doesn't take you home and plug you in

2019-10-04 23:04:45 UTC  

They don't have to pay a guy to carry you when you're asleep

2019-10-04 23:04:47 UTC  

Thats more an argument for automation than against

2019-10-04 23:05:02 UTC  

The robot has none of the needs I do

2019-10-04 23:05:15 UTC  

And can run 24/7 aside from fueling and maintenance

2019-10-04 23:05:32 UTC  

The amount of maintenance and infrastructure required for a self-driving truck is greater than having a diesel engine with four wheels and a guy at the helm.

2019-10-04 23:05:42 UTC  

Not really

2019-10-04 23:05:55 UTC  

Especially with accidents, freight damage, etc
