leave a trail of sugar from the computer's modem to your neighbor's router, sugar is conductive to electricity and internet. leave a separate trail for ants, they'll respect you for it and leave your set up alone. *thousands of ants looking at line of sugar spelling "for my friends the ants", thousands of small little nods before dinner* ---------------- |

in the future your neighbor will come over and be like 'what are you up to' and you'll be like 'nothing... because the computers and robots do everything now, because its all automated, and they're way better doctors, drivers, basically everything but like 1% of jobs... but you already knew that... because you live in the future, with me' and then it will pan out the twilight zone... OR IS IT... |

For a long time truck drivers are just going to have to sit in the cab while the computer does the driving to make sure its not doing anything stupid. that will be really important for 10-20 years, but eventually it will be even more the most boring job in the world. |

actually I saw on PBS Newshour today about automated retailers and the same concern came about with unemployment. The investors are pretty adamant about how it would create jobs. So like, instead of being Chuck the Truck Driver you're Chuck, Automated Truck Software Engineer. or Chuck, Automated Truck Maintainer. We will service robots as robots service us, it will be a symbiotic relationship until that fateful day robots steal our wi-fi, nuke the US dollar, destroy the gold standard and we invent sugar based batering systems.   oh yea, also forge an alliance with the formica species.

It's different now. We're getting general purpose robotics that you can teach to do stuff just by explaining it to them and showing them. The price of that sort of thing is dropping, the performance is constantly getting better. We're all fine and dandy as long as it stays prohibitively expensive though, I guess we should hope it does forever (or human labor always stays cheaper at least). I don't think so though Lastgirl. I mean general purpose robotics is like a genie out of the bottle scenario. Robots will be generally better at maintaining other robots and possibly even writing code (a lot of very high performance software methods are written by software software engineers wrote to figure out high performance software solutions). Even if everyone did get a job up the automation ladder, there's a lot of people without the education to do that. What percentage of the truck driving industry do you think could move into writing software today? |
