I heard FEMA has already stockpiled a lot of body bags for the occasion.
But really, "the strong and fittest" only means those that are needed to develop and maintain the machines. As soon as the machines can do that as well, they can go, too.
that's going in the wrong direction
As the cost of automation gradually comes down we hurry up the changeover by raising the cost of human labor, that's the plan, get people out of work asap
Just have to love those Democrats.
We’re moving in a direction that favors the strong and fittest amongst us. Things are being put in place to ensure the weaker links perish or destroy themselves.
How about a shallow grave. Would putting enough people into a shallow grave make things better?Because the minute we put ENOUGH people out on the streets our problems do NOT get suddenly better. They get much, much, much worse.
It hasn't taken ME out yet! So there's a good indicator of the bottom....
Personally I'm self-employed as a copy writer, but there's already AI on the horizon that can write anything on demand when given a few key words. I'm pretty sure that I'll have to reorientate myself before 2030, propably sooner.I’m still standing too. But I have little faith in employers. Some are good. But the market is designed to reward owners. Not employees.
It is my belief that self-employment is a better avenue for those willing to invest the time and resources it demands.
Most of the innovators are liberals. Scientists, engineers, researchers, designers and tech folks. Conservatives fear change and tend to resist progress.Many people seem never to realize that you cannot beat the marketplace. If x happens, then the people will sooner or later react by doing y in response. Liberals never see the consequences; they do not deal in such things as consequences because their theories are always pegged to what they think COULD BE or SHOULD BE (as they imagine an ideal world).

That is beside the point, however. The system (our topic) either permits/encourages them to use their talents and be properly remunerated for it or it does not. If most of them are liberals IN OUR SOCIETY, it is because they are fairly compensated by private companies. That is no recommendation for Socialism!Most of the innovators are liberals.

Conservatives are alert to the fact that change for change sake is not a good policy. What has worked well is worth retaining, even while prudent change is encouraged. Admirers of Socialism (Socialism as a theory only) rarely understand thisConservatives fear change and tend to resist progress.
The possibilities for influencing are endless. Just imagine what you'd get if you coupled that writing AI with a profiling AI that trolls peoples internet usage, facebook and so on. You'd be able to send out completely personalised letters that can convince everyone of everything without any human input besides feeding it an email list.I’ve seen some examples of newspapers using AI based sports writing. It’s amazing but deeply troubling
Automation is inevitable and we will need to adjust, like we have to all of the wonderful innovations before. We never find ourselves saying it was a mistake to allow modern farm equipment or washing machines to be developed. More automation means humans can work fewer hours and have more hours for family, travel, and creative endeavors. It means fewer people will have to perform repetitive, dirty, and meaningless work. Raising wages is key as we transition. Ultimately, we as a society will decide who benefits from automation- the very wealthy owners, or all of us. In the industries where I represent workers, we will be expecting the owners who profit from automation to help the affected workers transition into other more meaningful work, and also have automation relieve overwork and work that causes injury.that's going in the wrong direction

For manual tasks in retail in a very big chain store the pay rate to begin automating is 11.00 PH which has now been reached and automation is beginning.
Just have to love those Democrats.
I'd bet my bottom dollar that only the very wealthy will profit.Automation is inevitable and we will need to adjust, like we have to all of the wonderful innovations before.

But in the end we will have to face the issue of how to distribute the wealth produced by our society when the labor market is no longer adequate to the task.Automation is inevitable and we will need to adjust, like we have to all of the wonderful innovations before.

Well, I don’t blame you for that prediction but as a labor organizer I will work until I die to keep that from being the case. We’ve done it before, that’s why we have the 8 hour workday and workplace protections.I'd bet my bottom dollar that only the very wealthy will profit.
Yes, absolutely. That is the key.But in the end we will have to face the issue of how to distribute the wealth produced by our society when the labor market is no longer adequate to the task.

1. The discussion was not about our democratic processes. It was about the nature of Socialism.It’s up to us, we the people to decide what kind of system we will have. I’m not sure what your obsession with socialism on this thread is about...
