We'll all profit when UBI takes off.
So perhaps someone with a better tech education can help me out here.
If we have a quantum computer, isn't it just a matter of time, before we can write code that isn't binary, before we see revolutionary computational speed increases?
If that is so, when combined with machine learning, aren't we at the cusp of a super intelligence?
Once that happens, what job is safe?
To be clear, I'm not talking about 10 or even 20 years to a super intelligence, but I certainly don't think 30 years away is crazy. As chaotic as automation will be, combined with a superintelligence, we are talking about the end of labor, and being limited only by raw material in resource scarcity.
@VivaRevolution *is* a communist.
Anyways, in a perfect world, automation would benefit all and everything would be free, and rainbows would be produced for everyone. Truth is, someone has to pay for the upkeep and maintence, the initial cost, the actual action side of getting it done.
Get a robotics engineering degree or become a security guard real fast, because those guys are going to be doing most of the human work in stores.
That’s the good scenario.Oh', the public will profit. When the machines take over, the elites will have us living like hogs off the lucrative mandatory $25,000 annual income for everyone.
Autocommusocialism, here we come baby!
Sure. There will be some such positions. But how many? And what will the competition be like for those gigs? Remember, even the Kapos get it in the end.But.... I literally did build that. Physically i put things together and write programs. Thats my job.
And there will always be jobs for people to fix automation. If you think otherwise then you have no concept of how things actually work.
Should a capital holder, who has done nothing but accumulate wealth previously, be the major beneficiary of technology that was developed with our tax dollars?
I fix automated shit, so i do. Also buy stock, job pays good so i make some that way too
I’m an electrical engineer that works heavily with the controls side for plcs and such
I want to get more into robotics as well with my next job
My job is basically to eliminate low paying and dangerous minimum skilled jobs
i have to say i hate people in your position. my company gives me free reign over plc changes, but dont tell me when engineers do stuff, so i make stuff work after they leave.
the less button pushers the better though. operators are useless.
electrical tech, but i have free access and authority to do whatever i want with the program for some reason. studio 5000 mostly.You’re an E&I guy? Or an electrical tech then?
Good thing America has guns and the citizens actually have a means of rising up.That’s the good scenario.
You’re assuming the don’t decide to go full Hunger Games on us.

You want to segue into gun control? What's crazy about suppressors on AR-15's?It's not going to be long before bitcoin will allow us to buy crazy shit like, for example, a silencer for an AR-15.
Oh wait...

Because that man is the one who had an idea, took the risk, and created something.
I happen to believe everyone is NOT created equal. Some people are smarter, more hard working, and take more chances/make better life choices. Those
Capital holders put their own money at risk, which allows for investment and growth. People seem to forget this.
Bankster loans you mean.
SCADA is the future. It's getting easier to program, AI can actually almost do it better. It still fucks up sometimes.
