lol wow you have no clue. Energy is not a problem solar and wind are growing so fast have exceeded new power demand. Rare earths are found everywhere in large deposits. The bottleneck is processing because it is dirty and low margins.

Yes! That’s what we need! More uneducated people who are only capable of doing menial tasks, which are of the type that will be replaced by automation first! Great idea!

Truly, do you not see how you're being racist?

Where did I mention ANYTHING about race?


I think YOU are the actual racist here, since you *assumed* that those unskilled people were black or brown.

No, I'm not. You know what very well what you did. Your post is riddled with racist and xenophobic dog whistles. You didn't have to mention race for your racist intentions to be clear.

If you hear the whistle, you are the dog.

“Whoever smelt it dealt it.” That’s some airtight fourth grade logic there.

Job loss due to automation has been a topic of concern since the industrial revolution. Jobs have been lost, but jobs have also been created, and there has been a net increase in jobs over the last 200+ years.

Thus, my own opinion is that it is pointless to try to address a supposed problem that does not yet exist and may never exist.

Let's see what happens.

They should be. 100 million less jobs means a hell of a lot more competition for the jobs that still exist, lower wages and benefits because of increased competition, and we will all suffer in a society with a lot more angry and desperate people.

+1 if no one else has a job, who’s going to pay for their services?

Exactly. It's terrifying how little people understand abiut how society works and how tied together our fates really are. You don't eliminate the livelihood of millions of people, and the society as a whole doesn't feel it.

I expect the tech bros will find a way to ensure their services are never, ever impacted. Don't want to pay for their services? Then don't eat.

At that point we are looking at a repeat of the French Revolution, what's there to lose?

We won't though, because we live in a society where the rich and powerful have gotten the masses deeply deeply committed to the idea of nonviolence as righteousness, even in the face of a literal fascist takeover.

killer ai drones. a revolution doesn't stand much of a chance. It will be a mass human extinction event as most of the population starve/are killed by drones. The oligarchs will live in city state palaces and fight each other ever 50 years.

Well bless your heart you think there will be jobs?
You think there will be jobs that pay living wages HAHAHAHAHA

Bless your heart, you are chiming in about AI when it sounds like you know very little about it. I will not lose my job to AI. There will be a need for my position even with AI.

Just because your job still exists, doesn't mean your stupid as$ will still be the one doing it.

It’s never happening. At least in the next 10 years. This is most likely a pump and dump scheme on Trump’s part.

AI is already failing. Also, this admin is dumb and won’t know how to preserve resources for it — not that they care about clean water if they can make $$$.

They should be. AI Robots are coming to take those jobs as well.
It would take a couple of years, but it's coming.

Really? Think decades, not years. I have a relative working with cutting edge robotics. Handshakes are a challenge for robots. Fine motor skills will be an enormous challenge.

AI will be able to solve those problems in years, not decades.

Okay, sure, your kid will be eking out an existence on UBI and mine will be gainfully employed. Best of luck.

You'll probably have to also deal with snarky comments like "learn to code" or being told how hard-working the AI is.

The funniest part is the people that will lose their jobs are the kinds of people that like to repeat the "first they came for..." piece. Now no one is left to care about your jobs, and many may even cheer on your unemployment as you cheered on theirs.

This. We have very little time left for a critical mass of Americans to develop some solidarity with their fellow workers and any sense of intersecionailty. None of this happens in a vacuum. You can't shrug as bad things happens to your neighbors and honestly believe it will not eventually affect you.

This is precisely the thing in tech. People have been shrugging for years. They're just white collar jobs, you have nothing to whine about.

The thing is the labor bubble they created lead to this. We had no reason as a society to move this fast, but people kept shrugging their shoulders. 'But tech workers are well paid." In IT, I have little option but to automate people's jobs I am totally exposed to AI and immigration. But Frankly I have no problem pulling the trigger on these systems. You would be surprised how many routine administrative jobs there are, maybe they won't completely automate jobs, but it's highly likely they'll be able to do the same thing with a fraction of people.

So is this a worldwide thing or are there other countries or places preparing to avoid this collapse of society?
