A lot of low-skill jobs will go bye-bye.

well

automation has been coming for over a hundred years. AI is not as smart as people make it out to be

there are a lot of low skill jobs which are so unique it wouldnt make sense to automate them

when has stopping the advancement of technology ever succeeded

Even if it is, per-worker productivity will go up. It would require a restructure of how we look at employment but the whole pie will grow.

If we stopped assuming that every individual needs to be a self-sufficient worker unit it wouldn't be a problem. Extended families could group together around a couple of employed family members, all playing support roles like childcare etc.

also the chief engineer should be pro automation dont you think?

I think you might find many engineers concern about automation. We are concern the distruption it will cause.

People think automation is still way off. I don't know about that. Only 20 years ago our computers were just heavy bricks. Now a smartphone beats the Apollo computers hands down!

And yet unemployment is not significantly different and smartphones have not resulted in a net loss of jobs.

(I do believe widespread automation is coming btw)

Because they actually have help us do more or have better access.

I think it's unwise to thing widespread automation is still off.

It's coming, just because you don't see it now, doesn't mean it's not like an iceberg.

I do see it. I just think we can adapt to it.

wouldnt that be something. us lucky bastards wouldnt need to work anymore. Noone ever thought that before.

And it represents new wealth creation.

@scaevola it is good for man to work.

and woman.

To some degree at least.

in the house?

Depends to them.

Up to them.

where else would woman work?

that doesnt make sense

What if they want to be an engineer?

haha

Or a scientist.

haha

what if I wanna be an astronaut

I meet some very intelligent women.

If you want to talk about the debate hop in general voice chat

Very good at what they do.

I have met some very smart cooks as well

Your point?

Did the steam just get cut off?

I think it did.

Stream died

@scaevola there are lots of good woman engineers, just not nearly as many as men.
