are we making robots capable of art?

Or are we just losing our view of art due to pretentious asswipes living in denial about their artistic grasp? 😉

those slutwalk poems are a harsh competitor to Shakespeare i'm sure 😛

What happens to the nations that become nationalistic and don't go with singularity? Do they war the singularity nations and win? Then go to Trumpolitics?

Tax robots and machines for the value of thier production and then return that to the human economy

That was an idea I has before is tax the robots more than human labor

they are already making 'robot' news anchors

Tim is a robot news anchor, you ever seen his legs in a video?

Lol

and apparently it's both more likeable and human like when compared to come cnn anchors

Post scarcity is a meme, art is not about the end result in isolation, people still prefer interactions with other people

^

Well they are CNN anchors after all

also taxing robots isn't gonna work, those companies will just move to international waters 😄

Prefer interactions with other people in what regards?

this chat

😛

Also employer and employee has always been a negotiation, it's merely that employee power has been significantly reduced due to corporatization and the global market

Can tax the shipping

that would be a tariff

No

It's always been reduced. Compared to the employers

Tariff is taxing the person who imports

Nope
I have a factory, I need to make X
X requires 100 people to produce consistently
I have to attract the best people who make X in the vicinity, such that I pull the talent away from my competition

Now the issue is that I just move my shit to a cheap country, use cheap parts, nobody questions the quality hit or buys domestic, and the government bails me out if I fuck up

I'm gonna go dispense urine into my toilet.

"Tax robots and machines for the value of thier production and then return that to the human economy"

Thus increasing the cost of those products until they cost the same regardless if a robot or human made it, therefore raising the cost of living this requiring more money for humans, this requiring more tax and we have fixed nothing

You're producing something, Scrib. Let's tax it!

There's no need to work for talent because they either A: have no choice because I've bought out all the other options in the area (or we've agreed to specific hiring standards) B: startups will be gimped and C: there are too many competing potential employees

What are some of your ideas to deal with some of the consequences of automation Grenade?

One of the big early steam scares was that sales prices would start a race to the bottom, in which devs would have to sell their games for insanely low prices to compete with other products

This is because people want the best deal, and if someone finds away to pull ahead of the pack, everyone else must adapt in some way

But how do we handle the social challenge of inadequate employment because we have robots doing most things? If we do nothing, we end up with revolution.

We reduce the population naturally by not bringing in tons of people

And allowing natural depopulation to occur over the next few generations

Largely dealing with not enough labor I assume would include reduced work week

@ExceptionalFeather what happened to phone operators and line worker jobs?

How do we deal with the obscene concentration of wealth to this who in the automation?

You realize population growth is related to population density not job availability

People in rural areas have more children generally for this reason

I like the reduced work week but we've not seen that happen naturally

@Grenade123 the small portion of people lost their jobs unemployment went up we needed new jobs and likely balanced out
