But you can't replace a actual person making these decisions and diagnostics.

And even then there are a finite number of truck mechanics jobs

Yes you can

That's more expensive than just taking a person who knows how to fix up his own truck.

Diagnostics are already largely done by computer

Some things require fine motor skills in tight spaces machines will never achieve in our lifetimes

But that still reduces the number of jobs that exist

Even medical jobs can be replaced

Radiology

But we're still a long way away from self-fixing cars, and self-fixing self-stocking fast food stores.

Medical diagnostics

Etc

Plus how are you going to prevent a human intrusion?

With necessary security measures

What's stopping someone from breaking into a Mcdonalds in 2050 and just looting the borgar

You only need one guy there

Oh so you DO need people to man a store

So you have now 6 jobs as a fast food restraunt vs 60

I can see some of middle management being replaced, they are the fat that lays on top of the muscle

I literally just said automation was meant to replace most not all jobs

Jesus christ

Waitressing, cooking, management

All machine capable

Maintenance can all be done by two people

It's not like half the country will be out of work, people will survive by doing their own things and adapting to that is extremely easy with the time frame that we have and will become easier the further we go, as things (being automated) will be by definition faster.

And the savings of not paying the cost of employing the other 54 employees is far to much to say no to

People will be able to whip up chicken coops at breakneck speed with all the parts from Ikea or whatever 3d-prints metal frame cages for self-sufficient farming

People will just cook their own eggs

Its why when my manager said they would never replace us with automated trucks I laughed in his face

How are they going to pay for that tho

If they are not employed

You raise chickens

People can do that on their own

Who are you buying them from

Where are you buying the chicken feed

How did you purchase the land?

From the local mill who farms this stuff and produces the feed

The house you live in?

You build it yourself you fat twat

Do you even understand how to build a home?

Do most people?
