When I was a kid the politicians scored votes by brainwashing that computers were going to take all our jobs and in many industries they did totally wiping out previous jobs.
But people retrained and recovered and even more jobs were created for an ever growing population. Nobody really suffered except those close to retirement, the rest of us were enriched.
As long a robot lawyer is charging less than $250 an hour I'm all for it! -

Lawyers and doctors are already assisted heavily by AI, ML and general automation. But they will never be replaced, they are just supported (more and more)
4 Months ago I launched a SaaS solution for E-Arbitration in Denmark, and one of my biggest competitors are on version 2.0 for a diagnostic system for X-rays and blood tests for joined project between the Danish health-department and a Swedish university.Comment

our best and brightest minds are working on replacing the jobs of our weakest members of society with robots...oh and making parkour terminators...

Since when are Lawyers and doctors the "weakest members of society"?
Education is free for everyone with internet. If they want to spend they time watching reality-shit on TV, rather than working on becoming better versions of themselves, they who are to blame? "the system"? the big bad corps?Comment

I was talking about this months ago and people thought I was nuts. When those robots can sort 600 items an hour its going to be a migration of implementation.Comment

I used to do warehouse jobs because some of them have pretty kick ass schedules. I worked at a staples DC had 5 weeks of vacation/sick time my 1st year. The work week was 3x12hr shifts and all I did was drive a reach truck for 10.5 hrs.. We were paid for 12hrs had 2x 20min breaks and 30 min lunch.
Had really good insurance on top of that and during the back to school season you could work 7 days a week if you wanted anything past your normal 3 days was over time.
Only draw back was I topped out at $19/hr so had to move on.
It was awesome having full benefits and having 4 days a week off.
A lot of the big retailers actually pay very good for their warehouse positions. Walmart as example was paying $18/hr to start at many of their facilities. The kicker is just like with staples pay depends on region.
My position in CT topped out at $19/hr but say here in FL the exact same position would be $15/hr.
Anyway they tried a robot box cutter at Staples and it was fucking shit up left and right and kept breaking.
The best part was they paid like $350k for the thing this the company in Japan they bought from went bankrupt and closed up..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

I am surprised at the lack of automation in our world, although I guess I shouldn't be. My mother used to tell me that in they told her in the 1980s that entire cities would under domes.
I put out my garbage this morning and a truck comes by to pick it up. Seriously, why don't have some kind of a tunnel under our house where we drop the garbage, it goes into bins, and is automatically picked up?
Why don't we have a system under our house where stuff is automatically delivered?Herschel Savage

Your silly capitalist pursuit of irrelevant material things is robbing low skilled people of their livelyhood...they are not obliged to devote their lives to the rat race...you have no right to expect they "improve" to be a better rat in the race...it is morally wrong to throw them under the bus in the name of profits...humans do have a right to live a simple life...

We need less low quality humans on the planet and more forests to keep the air clean and produce more oxygen. We need more free roaming animals to keep the soil fertile with nitrogen and minerals.

Why the intolerance? I have met many people in my travels who live a very simple life and leave a 0 carbon footprint because they do not even have electricity...they work the land without chemicals and their waste is almost nothing...they all cater to thousands upon thousands of natural acers of land and live in sync with nature and they are certainly not part of the problem...if they have 1 or 10 children is of no significance to anything...

One of my favourite movies is 1976's "Logans Run" which takes place in a city under a dome.
Maybe Logans Run was your Mom's favourite movie too! Maybe your Mom and I have some other things in common... ahem.Comment

I agree. Imagine using IBM's Watson for legal representation.

I completely agree. Today you can use the Internet to learn just about anything you want on your own. I always wanted to learn to play guitar for example and thanks to Youtube videos and endless patience, I can play pretty well! I'm currently using spare time learning JS and Node Red but I think I will try learning something else more fun, like cooking for example.
You sir, should not be on GFY. You should be in front of a classroom instead. It makes me sick thinking that there are some people out there (and a ton of them here on GFY, and especially one in the Oval office) that disagree with that statement.

Why is this a bad thing? It's called progress.
If your job is in danger of being done by a robot, then learn to work in the robot industry.

Yes I know. I grew up poor in the woods of Washington state. We picked berries off the bushes, I climbed cherry trees and picked buckets of cherries during the summer. We went strawberry picking during the summer time. We had plum trees through our neighborhood and on the outskirts and you could pick the plums off the trees and eat them warm and squishy in the hot sun, apple trees & walnut trees as well, all over. We always bury some in the outlying areas so it would grow for the next season.

I am. In fact, I am friends with the head engineer for my hometown here. ALL of our infrastructure is over 100 years old. I was at the city council meeting last night where he was discussing how they are replacing traffic lights on the main street in town and how difficult it's been because everything is so old.Herschel Savage

Many moons ago when I worked as a video editor for Canada's largest porn distributor, we had guys that worked for min. wage in the warehouse that packed orders for shipping to their 70+ stores across Canada (videos/mags/adult toys, etc).
Much of that could've been easily automated, of course.
There was one job that should've been automated, though.
I happened to notice one day that one of the orders for the downtown Toronto Yonge St. store had an unusually large quantity of paper towel rolls in the boxes. For shits 'n giggles I asked one of the guys why so many rolls of paper towel.
The guy says, "Cleaning supplies for the guy who cleans the video viewing booths in the back of the store after the place closes."
Now there's a job I'm sure anyone would gladly relinquish to a robot.Comment

Personally I could design a automated forklift system and I know it would work. When I say design, I mean the theory craft of it and the basics on how to do it, not the automation system.
It wouldn't be that complicated and I'm honestly surprised no one has made it yet. They actually already have drive by wire systems in warehouses where the forklift follow a metal line in the aisle with magnets on the actual forklift to keep it lined up.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment
