I want to work. It gives me dignity. I don't want some random dude with flip flop wearing short and a wrinkly shirt, weird AF, can barely make a normal eye contact telling giving his opinion about my life

Just why?


Well, I would like the dignity of not working, because the idea that I need to work to live is ridiculous. I like the idea of AI doing everything, and I get guaranteed income to do whatever I want to do to enjoy myself and my time on earth.


America does not believe in everyone being equal. Why do you think we have zoning? There is nothing more American than driving by some neighborhood and seeing pristine homes with beautiful streets secluded from the mass and then a few miles away people on top of each other with terrible road.


Hopefully this changes soon because it should.


It will never change because it doesn't for the narrative. We need successful and unsuccessful people so we can tell the losers that's it's their fault.

Tell your kids to become lawyers because if lawyers are replaced that will be the wind of the world lol.

Can you image in America, lawyers giving up that extravagant lifestyle lmao. Hell no. They will take the country down with them.


They aren't any closer to replacing the surgeons either.

Many surgeons use robotic arms. Soon, we won’t need humans to operate them.


Girl, what are you going on about? my spouse is an orthopedic surgeon and utilizes robot assisted surgery multiple times a week. Who do you think is operating said robotic arm? It does not run itself. The reaosn is is used is to minimize the incision site and to be able to get the camera into small spaces and do detailed small form surgery. surgeons are not going anywhere, as a matter of fact so many are retiring we are about to have a crisis and wait taimes for surgery could lead to at best lowered life expectance and poor QOL or at worse death waiting. The reason to NOT become a surgeon is you are worked to death due to a massive shortage of surgeons.


If the work is already being done by a robotic arm, all you need is AI to evaluate and manipulate the arms. With a shortage of surgeons their will be huge money in this, and accelerate the transition.

I assume you don’t work in an office if you don’t understand that if a robot is doing the dextrous work, then software can easily take over the job.


Bridge poster back - I have yet another exciting opportunity for you. You can't be serious

You are responding to more than one poster.

That’s what people said when self-driving cars came out. How can a machine know where to turn, stop, go left, go right, slam breaks to avoid hitting something, etc…well, now we have self-driving cars.

AI and ML are already doing so much we humans used to do and doing a much better job of it!

Trust me when I tell you that healthcare of the future will involve little human input. I trust a machine much more than a human who could be tired, sleep-deprived, distracted, etc….

Studies have already shown that AI performs better than radiologists for detecting disease on imaging studies (X-rays, etc.)


Here's some AI showing the fraud of your cars. BTW - your ultimate tech bro Elon has constantly overpromised underlivered for every single self driving metric

Self driving cars also going nowhere fast right now. You can do better

Regardless, sounds pretty amazing, I'd love to get income without working. I'm 48 and HATE working. I can think of aobut 100 things I'd rather do each day than sit in front of a computer and make someone else rich.

What is holding you back? I retired at 48 having made ca $2k a month for 30 years.
Not having to work for money is the best.


I don't have enough money to retire. But if you gave me some guaranteed income, I'd retire this minute.

So keep increasing it until it is enough. I don't need to own anything. In fact, I'd rather not, because I don't want to be responsible for the maintenance. I'd rather give the maintenance responsibility to those people who want the dignity of work and would feel idle otherwise.

Not having a job doesn't mean I'd be idle. I'd be out rock climbing, traveling, meeting people, swimming, i.e, doing a million things, without having to worry about where my next meal is coming from or where I'm staying for the night.

So we need robot surgeons who can fill the vacancies, since humans obviously don't want to do this job.

AI and automation and robotics are predicted to wipe out like 3/4’s of all jobs. Guaranteed income is bandied about as a solution. However, it doesn’t account for a myriad of other considerations like what people do without a traditional purpose. We’ll fkin see tho won’t we!


My job isn't my purpose. I'd love to get guaranteed income to live out my purpose, which is to relax and enjoy myself.

They think UBI will lure people into accepting a society run by and for tech bros. The problem is not the dignity of work, or at least that's the not the biggest problem. More pressing problems are 1) costs would immediately rise to meet your known fixed income, and 2) you would be trusting people who currently oppose most social services and aid to hand you free money for life, instead of just yoink it away as soon as you give up your other options.

If it were ever implemented as they envision, everybody but them would end up in servitude - mostly in their private armies or in sex work - or dead. As to the latter, they are not quiet about thinking that population needs to be lower in their robotic future.
