No financial stability, no advancement, always on the verge of being obsolete, that's the dystopian future we are marching into head on
shodanxx in America were here!
Or because of the amount of freedom this will allow us, we have the time to invent, grow, create, thrive because we're no longer shackled by the need to work, and instead are offered the means to travel, create, enjoy life and our time. Work has stagnated us, kept us locked away, removed our most precious commodity as we use our time to make someone else money.
Sounds really great but where do we get the money to pay for all these leasure activities?
@@jish55 How are you going to do all that without any money?

Ok. Who studied basic economics?
If everyone and their mom learns how to code, what happens to the wages of a basic coder?
That already happened to Law, Engineering, because high schools pushed out the trades and pushed white collar jobs. These kids went to college and studied these fields and had success for a time. That is until everybody and their mother went into those fields. Oh well.
George EX they become hackers
3089280288 lmfao
George EX Same as technicians when it's cheaper to just replace!
They become as basic as their mom.
"Jobs you may have thought safe from automation, like mortgage brokers"....I never thought that we need those parasitic mortgage brokers
Mortgage brokers
I am a software engineer. Automation has already come in IT field. Back in the day coders used to code in Assembly language then Microsoft created a language compiler "Basic" that converts a somewhat easier human-readable computer language like C++ into machine code, then came all kinds of IDE software in which you just have to know what to do and within 5-10 lines you can accomplish the task. Similarly, in website development, last 2 years many front-end editors like "Elementor" and "Beaver Builder" has come up that does like 90% of website development for you. In the finance sector, the development of accounting software like Intuit replaced a dedicated accountant in every company. Till 2017, it used to take me at least 2 days to develop a single website page that also included testing for different browsers, mobile, tablets etc. Now, these front-end editors do that automatically for you. Now it takes me like 3-4 hours of time to design and test a page if I have the content ready for the page. So, in IT it is more of human-assisted automation that is happening now.
I haven't seen GUI design get simpler over the years. I used to use Visual Basic back in the 90's and yes it was very easy to create a graphical forms based Application, if you didnt need much customization. Most people don't use tools like that now especially for mobile apps. I found it has turned into a huge pain, partly because they need to support so many different screen sizes and orientations. People create Android apps by writing XML for the most part, and for the web it's React, etc. Not Assembly but fairly complex code, definitely not like Visual Basic. I wish. WYSIWYG Gui editors are generally frowned upon these days as 'inferior' to coding a gui directly in some archaic hard to understand language. Maybe it is just to keep their jobs. I don't know.
Man, what should I study I am a grad student looking for proper course to study as post grad diploma, tell me what should I study?
@@amirpatel9988 also learn basic coding ( just like abc)
Skills is never a waste of time
Won't the coding jobs be overrun by AI also?
Eventually. I think it's mainly the creative industries that will last the longest.
You don't really see the effects yet, as coding becomes more end more imporant. But all in all, the IT industry didn't grow very much for 20 years (in revenue). The reason being that a lot gets automated (easier to do for coders) over time.
Machine Learning baby
Congratz on your success. I agree with your prediction concerning the future labour market. It will be interesting how society handles the seemingly inevitable domination of robots and software in all sorts of production.
Not as significant in the foreseeable future. The hardware will become advance enough to replace mostly every possible job that requires manual labor. But the advancement into a highly intelligent and efficient AI is something chips are limited at. IBM's Watson is able to compile many information to make some industries easier but still not yet at the point of fearing software replacing software developers.
But yes, it will eventually happen.
Heed my warning, invest in Digitial currencies, buy property, land, anything that gives you an automatic monthly income without having to work, the next ten years are going to be BRUTAL and a lot of people don't realize it yet, but we're going to rapidly shift from a haves and have nothing at all society, hope everyone is listening.
You´d better rethink your own advice. Your "automatic incomes" demand a stable economy. They might not work anymore when there is a problem. Humans can´t invest in cryptos anymre when they struggle to buy food. So they might go down hill. Same with buying houses in order to rent them out. Not very usefull while more and more call the street their home.
I tend to say that it would be safer to go self suficent.
But at the end of the day no one really knows the fututer.
We´ll seet what happens.
You´d better rethink your own advice. Back to you !
Go work hard so we'll see .
Or you know.. we could just redistribute some of that excessive wealth collecting at the top, back down to everyone to help keep the economy continuing to function and keep everyone from being homeless.. After all, that wealth wouldn't be there without decades of work by the lower-classes.
1000% agree with you brother!!!
i don't have any money to invest. i don't have enough to survive. im just kinda waiting for the rest of you to catch up with me
Listen to Andrew Yang. Wake up America 🇺🇸. It's time to stop spending time on frivolous issues and lets concentrate on what really matters.
The threat of automation. Listen carefully to Andrew Yang.
👍
What Yang gets wrong is he thinks white collar jobs will be safe. This clearly shows all jobs are in danger. That's why I am an entrepreneur.
Ya he really called this problem out years ago but of course no one listened to him
IF THESE COMPANIES CONTINUE TO AUTOMATE JOBS AWAY FROM PEOPLE, WILL THERE BE ANY CUSTOMERS LEFT WHO CAN BUY WHAT THE COMPANIES ARE SELLING?
FuuuhQ2 there are better paying jobs than to put stuff on a pizza all day
Not anytime soon. There will be plenty of jobs for decades. Killing of some will increase profit margins.
By then they won't need money anymore, as they will have robot to automate for them.
profesores michigan you trust people like Trump in doing so!
FuuuhQ2 Even Henry Ford knew if employees didn't have money no one would buy his cars
While more people learning code is good it completely ignores the fact that there wont be enough coding jobs for everyone and AI will be taking plenty of those jobs as well. I was thinking this was gonna possibly mention a universal basic income option to ensure that even as we go towards full automation we dont just ignore the fact the number of jobs lost are going to be far far greater then the ones we gain
That’s fine and dandy but how are people gonna buy goods without a job? The UBI number proposed nobody can live off of. It also seems nobody has a plan. If nobody has jobs due to automation than factory’s can’t operate cause their won’t be a demand for products because people have no income
The breaking point for me will be when I visit a store and I find a Robot or computer purchasing things for its own survival, in other words we are not losing jobs we are losing customers, this will really need to be addressed in the next decade.
I hate that they pretend that thier goal is to have robots and humans work seamlessly together. Just be honest about it that you are working on outsourcing the all of the work of making a pizza to robots.
cdrinde That‘s the pbvious way we‘re heading, which is a good thing, end our capitalistic system that just puts everyone into slsvery, but currently we‘re still in this system, so its only fair from them to have some people employed so they still have some jobs, even tho they wouldn‘t have to have them employed. just like here in switzerland where the CEO of our biggest bank (UBS) said that they actualy would only need 1/3 of their current workforce, but they keep em anyway.
but yeah 5-10 years we‘ll not need most jpbs anymore, we can than finaly end this greedy inhuman system.
It's only "slavery" if you are consistently paid less and less over the years. There are still jobs where people feel they are being paid fairly for the work they do (although becoming rarer) - consider the Canadian doctors who recently rejected a pay raise in favor of paying nurses more. That episode shows to me that there are good jobs out there that lift people way above what one would consider slavery. This is going to change though, as this video shows.
Mark Furst it‘s slavery once you are obligaded to work to survive. We all must work to survive. so we are all slaves to the system.
cdrinde True! I've been run out of these jobs before! At least they don't expect me to train my h1b replacement!
instead of 6 humans you end up with one human & five machines.
The " perfect employee " is a slave look up the definition of Robot 😳
exactly
if people dont have work, how will they buy what ever the companies are making?

Big corporations that have replaced their Workforce with robots, will have to contribute to a universal welfare fund and that is how unemployed humans will receive their income.
Nipun Chandrawansa they will have you wrote your name on work done by robot and you sing off via your iPhone to get credit. Isn’t that what CEO’s and management does? Which gives you the ability to buy.
They need to make a 4 day work week
Nadia aidan Amazon has been doing this with their employees for years.
My mom works 4 day 10 hour per day weeks. It’s nice to have Friday off but it’s very tiring.
There's jobs that are 4 days a week now
In the future it's staying home waiting for the universal basic income cheque deposited directly into your bank account. Scary...
Russia is studying a 4 day work week this year
Decrease the work hours, and turn this "problem" into the best thing ever.
Having worked in a business with automated robots, they are very expensive to maintain. after a month or so you run into many problems requiring fitters and electricians to fix the equipment. You replace lower cost jobs with higher costing ones as a gamble.
i think every new technology are at high cost at first.
In the future, the only jobs will be ones that cannot be automated. There will only be scientists, engineers, artists, politicians, etc. Basically you will have to be creative. There won't be any manual labor jobs. UBI will be a must for most people. Either get tech skills or be unemployed and collect UBI.
I wrote a term paper on this in the 80s while in college. Everybody thought I was full of it and didn't understand how economic leaders would understand that leaving the human workforce without jobs would eventually destroy their own economical means. Well, here we are and the media is lying it's backside off or just ignoring the plight of the average human being today where we ALL are losing everything and dying by a thousand tiny cuts. What now? We need a NEW entire revamping of our economic models of labor for pay and how our currency is managed through banking and finance.
I love how the reporter cheerfully says the phrase "He never calls in sick, never needs a holiday or pensions". She is clearly delusional. I guess she thinks for some reason she will be unaffected by this change, poor love.
No you are delusional.
Jason Wells well it’s her job
I was waiting for the paternity leave joke tbh
Who would have thought a species would work so hard at destroying itself ? ....Strange indeed
Nobody, humanity is an evil species and greed will destroy it soon or later.
Merry Christmas 👌👍👌
Hammer Home we are fated too be doomed...either by forces of nature, or ourselves
all for the dollar
$100000 robot to move a pizza from one conveyor belt to another. Lol really?
Yes,I remember plasma TV 10.000 $ for it when it came out,now a dime a dozen....really.
lee mceachern Should just hire illegals like every other CA business! So much cheaper! No tax, no medical, no insurance required! They don't really exist!
Well if a normal pizzería hires 4 employees at minimum wage (roughly $24,000/year), then that robot will have paid for itself in a little over a year. Some forklifts and their charging systems can cost twice as much and yet warehouses are full of forklifts.
Dannhy Mir exactly. Machinery eventually pays for itself. Look at the construction industry... still has humans around but a lot has become more economic because of the use of machinery. Otherwise you would have to pay a bunch of guys to lift something that a track loader can pick up in no time with only one dude to drive it.
be $1,000. in no time. I remember the first digital watch on Johnny Carson, no gold but was 24K, now its free with most devices or .99 cents with a magnet to boot to put on your fridge.
You've encountered automation, please choose an option:
A. Crisis
C. Universal Basic Income.
Mass euthanasia
I predicted what is happening now back in 2007. Automation is following a principle similar to Moore's law in that it increases exponentially over time. Eventually, every job will be automated. What this means socioeconomically is that there will be an extreme polarization between rich and poor with the hollowing out of the middle class and no possibility for upward mobility. Significant population decline will coincide with this transition.
Did you just assume that robot's gender? Triggered.
Your post made me laugh out loud. Thank you!
Yup, and ethnicity too I think. "Pepe and Jojo" sounds so much nicer than "Sauce Dispensers 1 & 2", provided you don;t think about whether they replaced humans.
social justice robots
Lmao
This is why I advocate getting hired as a private security guard, paramedic/EMT or correctional officer.
Long story short...When automation wipes away countless jobs and mass unemployment hits, guaranteed the crime rate will skyrocket.
Those jobs will be in demand big-time soon.
Not if people like Elon Musk get their wish and killer bots/drones are banned.
megacide84 all those jobs are low paying.....low balljobs
They'll still need people to deal with violent, cold-blooded unpredictable prisoners.
Automated prisons would be too much of a hacking target. Just like fully armed drones. The risk would outweigh any savings from total automation.
There will be some professions spared from total mechanization just for safety and massive liability alone.
Also happens when the socialists take over. Leo is the way to go
Who will pay for them?? That's the problem. The whole thing will implode and thank politicians that promised something for nothing in order to buy votes.
"I tried to warn them. No one listened." - Elon Musk
watching this brings up a question i've always had since childhood, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH [money] i remember my uncle going to work at a hardware store while in high school. 40 yrs later he retired from that store. every yr the owner gave each employee a % of the profit. my uncle raised 3 kids including college for 2 and lived well. in today's world the boss that says good morning to you hates your guts and would love to fire you. in todays world what ever you're making it's not enough and getting rid of your co workers would fix the problem. if the hardware store owner is doing well at 20% profit and even able to share with staff why not today. why is every penny on the floor worth killing over. in the new world with no humans in the work force the company will be making 100% profit is that enough???we are literally facing a greed like never seen on earth and somehow i believe it's not enough, something else has to go. to get another penny just 1 more penny , just 1 more.
@Antoine Barquet So you're saying earning more profit or money is an addiction akin to a drug then. A disease...
Note important work: OWNER. Today, money has been increasingly decoupled from productivity and manager is rarely OWNER or STAKEHOLDER.
Well said.
As a person approaching Senior years, the most frustrating thing for myself not idea of automation taking over current jobs. It's trend of younger managers, younger co-workers with no worth ethics. None new hires even considered my years of experience. I could answer questions they need in doing work.
That's it. I'm moving offgrid to live off the land. Screw this crazy society!
So, back in the day someone who was a higher up at an auto manufacturer was talking about the introduction of robots on the assembly line with a union representative. He pointed out that robots don't go on strike, they don't call in sick and they don't take vacations. The union rep looked at the corporate man and asked: "And how many cards do these robots buy?"
Zero but what did he say ?
This is why Henry Ford adopted the $5 per day wage when a lot of factories were paying a lot less. He wanted to create a skilled working class capable of affording his cars.
I am fascinated by the way the tech industry names their robots. It is as if the industry is attempting to humanize robots..
It's coming to a point where there's too much product made and not enough people who can afford to buy the merchandise because the automation machines take the jobs of the customers lol. They're shooting themselves in the foot
robots will be coding next
:) They will be replacing even the Heads of States, even the POTUS eventually.
Gary Matlock *now
Paul Petru Alexandru Cazacliu the McCrone Trudeau and Trumps for sure! Putin is a talent that'll be hard to code
They can already do that, to some extent. It's called "program synthesis."
Putin,,, hahaha, funny bud!
It would be wonderful if robots could replace politicians and clergy...
Mirza Sisic that’s a new angle nobody even thought about
Assuming that robots won't be able to lie better than humans can
Soon, very few people would be able to afford their pizza since we're all out of a job.
99% of the people in the coding class will quit within the first month. I've been a software engineer for 12 years now working on very complex systems, and it's extremely challenging and I've seen people with masters degrees in computer science and engineering failing. We are talking about hundreds of concepts and technologies that keep evolving by the day. You need to have deep knowledge about algorithms, data structures, OOP concepts (Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, Encapsulation), DBMS, SQL, web services, ORMs, micro services, multi threading, SOA, AI, machine learning, memory management, optimization, distributed systems, UI technologies and much much more. You need to be proficient in many programming languages like Java, Python, C, C++, C#, JS, etc... Long story short, if you are a good software engineer, no robot will replace you, at least in the next 10-20 years.
I'm kind of worried about what will happen to us if robots becomes a overwhelming part of our daily lives. Are we going to be more lazy? ( No need to go to the grocery, no need to cook, no need to mow the lawn.) What about our activities. Will we be less likely to hangout with friends? Yet so many questions unanswered regarding that topic :/
Mr. DucArbre Why live?
Great questions?
Picture a utopian world , you wake up at 10 AM , robot serves you coffee and breakfast, it’s 12:00 pm time for tennis with neighbourhood , 4:00 pm time for lunch at the local automated restaurant, 7:00 pm, big screen neighbourhood movie , 10 pm off to sleep
Repeat and repeat
Americans will become fatter and lazier.
*Wall-E has entered the chat.*
This was bound to happen especially since labor organizers keep trying to squeeze more money out of businesses. Labors have screwed themselves. The more unions and Labor's push businesses for more money, the more the businesses are going to find way to automated services. At the end of the day Union laborers lose.
I guess the breaking point will come when there are not enough consumers (i.e. people with an income) to participate in the economy. There may end up being a large enough number of those who own the means of production to form an insular society amongst themselves = gated communities everywhere. I think the movie Elysium is a lesson in what could be the future.
That movie was and is ahead of it's time.
Said people in the 1800's regarding "new" technology
@Sith'ari Azithoth I’m assuming that these people in the gated communities are the richest 1% of the human population. Talk about a shallow gene pool. Won’t be long before the birth defects start appearing. Look at the Amish as an example.
The thing is the rich don't have kids.
@@akiram6609 Genetic engineering will save the day
I do service and maintenance on robots..I wonder if I'll lose my job to a robot?
most likely, but its going to take a while. Maybe 20-40 years.
Maintenance? Yes. Core Robotics? No.
But then who's going to maintain the maintenance robots
Robots will learn to fix themselves.
Eventually, robots can diagnose and self-heal themselves.
I thought white collar is doctors and like college Educated and blue collar is high school educated like pizza boys and Walmart Employees
these are not white collar jobs
White collar jobs involve more skilled and non-physical labor; blue collar jobs are quite the opposite
This is why we need basic income.
1967: Work hard and get an education so you may get a decent job with good pay to afford a reasonable place to live!!
2017: Everybody go on welfare!!
Why do we need a basic income? Who are we going to pay with it... the robots?
You only need a basic income if you aren't providing anything to society and spend all your time consuming.
Agreed.
This is why we need a RBE. Basic income is too little too late.
I'm 54 years old and dropped out of college for Electrical Engineering. The many jobs I had in my life time was cook, construction worker, warehouseman and PC machine operator and programmer.
Everything around you is a robot. Your car for example.
Most people I know are scared of computers, It's just a simply machine with many parts.
I'm a lifelong learner.
It’s funny how the last jobs to be replaced will be manual labor. Like it’s easy for a machine to out think someone but it’ll be a while before a machine can climb scaffolding and assemble iron work
It's already being done sir, brick laying as well.
@@jaysvideoclips99 how about the electrical work, bending conduit, drilling 2/4 ,running wires, take it down and do it again when the owner changes his mind, installing the fixtures and the appliances , troubleshooting a ground fault, finding the wire ,take it out of the conduit and replace it with a new one.??? and a lot more..!!
The trades are probably going to be some of the last jobs to go. Office jobs are going faster then manual labor jobs.
Some trades will last a lot longer but maybe the “instalment” phase will be however fixing pipes in a old house prob won’t be automated
@@jaysvideoclips99 electricians work on maintaining the PLCs as well, which is essentially automation. On top of that plumbers, electricians, etc. Are ALWAYS LEARNING NEW technologies as well. So it'll still be awhile. But if they do get replaced, chances are, you can most likely replace any job by that point.
....SO.....THEN...WHAT'S THE POINT OF GOING TO SCHOOL FOR..!
Carlos Krueger So the professes can buy pizza
To meet girls :-)
Enlightenment. School traditionally had a higher purpose than finding a job.
Lol
humans sitting around all day under fluorescent lights starring at a computer screen is unnatural
They can go outside with a laptop if that's what you prefer
I've watched enough Terminator movies to see how this goes.
I guess he increased his profit by 200% but since less humans are working in Pizza, less humans are earning money, and less humans will buy the same pizza ! In the end he will end up with drops of sales ! So what is the point of automation !
Yes, it's TRUE. If there are no jobs, then nobody is making money, and nobody is spending money, and then what's the benefit ?
It's kind of exciting and kind of scary to imagine what the world is going to look like in 20 years or 40 years from now
Until the robot becomes so advanced that it can handle the rest of the dressing and even able to do the rest of the pizza process along with it..
But in all, people better be prepared for the automated future, or else you will be surprised.
And its better to automate as much as possible, this will only trigger new ideas to define what work is, along with human basic needs like a basic income...
Buy property....People will always need a place to stay, and will always pay you for it. If they roll out some sort of UBI then you'll still get compensated despite no one having a job. Also, learn robotics. The person who owns the robotics company will always exist. Be the employer, not the employee.....before its too late.
HIghly over optimistic as usual from the main stream media. News flash people, Even programmers are not in high demand. Most of the demand for them is in subcontracting piece work today and over half do not make a full time living off of it.
All money goes to the TOP!
It all goes to the Richest 1%.
They have to be controlled and they won't like it.
50 years ago people were predicting that because of such advances in automation, people would be soon working 4-day weeks. What has happened due to greed enterprise capitalism is that companies laid off 25% of the people and require the remaining people to work 50+ hour weeks. Where did all that money go? Into the deep pockets of the 1%
There is a grave danger that the new coders, especially those of advanced age, will be left behind if younger more agile coders learn more quickly and perform more cheaply and take up the fewer jobs available in the IT sector. The trick is to take an existing set of skills and knowledge and translate that into a codable application usable by other people in that field. The trouble is that once that is done there are not other vacancies in the field. The application can then be replicated and distributed worldwide with only localisation and language modifications being needed. Basically people are programming themselves out of a job and some other means of obtaining resources will need to be found. Human society has seen this happen with agriculture, mining and manufacturing, each of these sectors now only occupy 5% each of the workforce. Services will follow suit. Administration and information processing will also follow until only a small minority are actually working in any advanced society. What we do with non-working people or how we redistribute wealth to give everyone a fair chance at living will be a huge problem for society in the future.
You think Civil unrest bad now. Wait until those White Collar workers who thought their jobs were secure find themselves unemployed. Society already on verge of economic collapse.
I just want a hand tossed pizza made by a old Italian
of course there will be no people that can afford to buy the pizza so the machines will be sitting idle.. what a shame!
sbkpilot11 This is the very flaw in the current economic system. It has to change. The question is simply, who will buy the pizzas, if nobody has a job or money to buy them?
Well you have to remember that people are conditioned to the system. It's not an easy argument to have with anybody because this century of people haven't known to deal with a concept of not having a "job".
So who will buy the pizza.....another robot ?
AD_ Greyx what about taxes for public services?
Solution: universal basic wage + small part time jobs to supplement it. Could be a blessing, could be a nightmare. We'll see.
I think using this technologies should be taxed heavily so that it'll still be marginally profitable for businesses to use the more efficient machinery, but with most of the profit going towards redistribution.
So if robots are supposed to take over all the jobs, how are humans supposed to pay for the pizza if there’s no jobs? 🤔
UBI
THe dirty secret is agenda 21, a drastic decrease in world population and a drastic decrease in quality of life for most people. Most people will be employed in bottom level jobs and there will be a lot less of them around.
*AI will never replace entertainers for example athletes, actors, comedians, musicians, Broadway performers, etc.*
Never had Steam account?
All that automation, and that guy still had to touch the pizza with his bare hands
Not for long
We need to fight this tooth and nail. This will be our own demise and don't think for a minute that this basic income BS will be a good thing. You will be FORCED TO VOLUNTEER YOUR WORK .
Let's start by not buying self driving cars or using delivery drones. Also.....NEVER EVER USE SELF CHECKOUT OR " JUST WALK OUT STORES " !
Boycott fast foot....or ANY STORE that uses robots or " self checkout " .
the penultimate robot is on the drawing board
it's only purpose is spend money to stimulant the economy
that way the other robots will have something to do
Yes, it will become a vicious cycle. Eventually you won't need the businessman either. A robot will own the business and provide everything needed for all other robots! End of humans as we know it 😃
Enzo Guerra Oh god! They're gonna replace my wife Too!!!
Now can u make pizza cheaper been years cause costs too much poor people can't afford one 10$ for thin cardboard pizza is garbage
About time we get rid of low life lawyers.
As a software developer myself I am always amazed by this technology but it has social implications into our society. That means that mr Bruno here needs to be taxed as a human employee.
If a women can do it, it's not worth doing.
A lot of these people could excel in finance and do things that can’t be automated. Instead they rest and vest.
As a machine learning researcher true AI doesn’t exist. It’s overrated statistics. Thriving on repetition. The universe is never repetitive so ML can only go so far.
It’s more telling about them than the companies that fired them.
With the same mindset, they won’t survive coding. It requires constant growth and thinking logically.
...Says the guy that does not know how to write properly XD
What is "a women?"
This is why UBI is the future and "work" is not. The key will be finding the balance and the "right" model but it's going to be a hard/painful transition for many for the next couple decades to come but humanity will be better for it.
:( Basically there's no difference between the weapons' dealers and those automation developers; both of the sides are mass destroying people's lives, and all of that with a smile on their faces, just like psychopaths.
Paul Petru Alexandru Cazacliu fax
Brilliant! Walking away from the job and joining the ranks to exacerbate the problem by learning to code.
I can't wait for UBI!!!!!
you forgot about reporting the news How long do you have before intelligent software takes your Jobs?
Devin Vaudry ru
?_?
there is tons of news AI you just don''t feel them
I'm A landlord and l Cater to people that basically have low wages.lf there fired all my properties are worthless because Robots don't pay rent.
Every min wage job is gonna get replaced by robots in the future.
That makes me worried. Many people depend on those jobs.
The thing is as technology advances it weeds out the lower capability individuals not suited for higher cerebral functioning work. It is a form of natural selection and part of the process of evolution. The people that exist today survived because they adapted to the changing dynamics of human society. The ones that didn't are gone. Once again with AI, people will have to adapt. The ones not intelligent enough will eventually perish. Universal income will eventually create problems because it creates a welfare state and it becomes a big burden on the rest of society. The solution is to introduce AI at a controlled rate so we don't put a lot of people on universal income at once and create problems, but gradually weed them out of society in humane and ethical ways. The advent of lowing paying jobs is necessary to weed out lower capability individuals because it impedes them from creating a lot of offsprings under such scarce resources. If you want an advancing society you will have this weeding out process, but if you dont want this weeding out process then you cant have an advancing society. You can't have both, you have to pick one. And that is the truth of the matter. Since our society as a whole seems to be geared towards advancement you will unfortunately have this weeding out process. You either adapt or perish.
Katrina S sorry if it is not the politically correct rhetoric you are so used to. It is not about being smug, I am subjected to the same pressures as well so what is there to be smug about? If I mess up I get weeded out also. This is how things are. Why do we need resumes when we apply for jobs? Why do we need GPA and standardized test scores for college admission, why do we care about merit and qualifications? This is not my belief, this is the way things are. This segment you and I just watched shows that. It is just that they are not as blunt as I am. And they try to be more politically correct over public media because people like you may get mad over the hard truth: not everyone is equal, adapt or perish. Generally it is the people having a hard time adapting that gets mad over this. Now I expect you to respond by saying you don't and give your reasons for it in order to hide it but your initial reaction has already given a grounded impression of your motives. From your comment you feel as though I am attacking (not my intentions) you but why would you think that unless what I said applies somewhat to your circumstances or the circumstances of the people you care about. Good Luck. And I wish you the best.
all jobs except the parasite billionaire jobs will go, you think a robot would have difficulty mixing medicine, analyzing complex legal or medical data ? answering a phone call with a husky or sexy voice depending on the customer ?
All jobs.
You all do not understand anything when you say there is less job. In fact, automation creates more jobs just like industrialization: bus driver, computer programmer, karaoke bar staffs, mechanics etc...... The problem is that the old generation is too old to learn the new skill for the modern jobs.
I'm not sure I follow Tory Shoreman's thinking. Is taking an 8 week course in programming enough to insure a better carreer than at a bank? Would be nice to see a followup in 2 year's time.
I have 2 short arguments...
1 - Let the robots take over, and allow mankind to flourish in understanding and enhancement of their lives on personal levels. Everyone has food, a place to live, clean water. This is not communism, this can be done without thought control.
2 - Allow the robots to take over, and make everything. Without people to consume their makings (but for the super rich) those robots will be dormant. If only 1% of the 1% orders pizza that night, the guy who owns the pizza making robot will have to charge $500 a slice to keep his opulent lifestyle. Then someone else will have do the same to buy that $500 slice, and so on till they rip each other apart.
Either way, the 99% will be just fine. Living in comfort, or living the same as now, with the 1% on a Lonely island of their own making. But we’ll bring them into the fold, but they’ll have to work again.
do not buy stufff from these automated places, support humans
Computer Simulated Atomic Coded Reality Kick these globalist elites to the curb
i support humans. Viva la Automation. Freedom from wage slavery is coming. Free from the drudgery of alienated labour we can unleash out humanity and spend our days being fully human rather than being shackled to corporate machines as cogs of a system that uses you up then spits you out.
*support humans*
U'd have to live in the woods then
Not only will automation replace white collar jobs, automation allows average people to perform functions that were previously the domain of professionals. A number of years ago it was a difficult process to register a domain and setup a website, today automation has turned this into a trivial task that virtually anyone can do from a web browser on their own computer. This is a trivial example, but it is a good example as to how a whole chain of software automation functions have eliminated numerous human professionals from a complex process.
When did robots have immigrant names?
...and it matters how...?
Question remains: "What kind of Pizza do robots like ?"
After watching a few related videos, according to the CBC unemployed/underemployed 20 somethings live with parents because they can't afford rent or mortgages. Their debt burden useless education has left them worthless in this highly automated world. But who will build and maintain these robots? The underemployed mechanical engineers?
Francis Underwood Who knows? The jobs for these areas will still need related work experience. Very bad.
Bring on that $15 Minimum Wage and tech companies will be demonstrating the benefits of automating EVERY job.
It’s always amazes me how people can be so willing to embrace their own destruction.
More robots please I need to get rid of my incompetent employees and get rich at the same time
Chowder Stevens until it replaces you
As a blue collar worker, I am glad. Many are the white collar workers that complain about the minimum wage going up. Oh yeah, eat the rich baby!
New World Coming! Cities will be very large round buildings, living quarters outer layer, in the center will be doctor, mall, park, no cars required, small transport units are all that will be
Canada is definitely ahead of the game in technology than the US. Coming from a dual citizen living in the US.
At least bank robbery and dealing drug isn't automatic
hehehe or being a hit man! funny Tu funny :-)
lawyers haven't worked with 'hard copies' of case law in decades. He's just speeding things up.
All truck drivers, delivery people, bank tellers, most wal mart workers phased out by 2021. Universal Basic Income coming soon
Truck drivers are far away from 2021. We are talking thousands of miles of automated roads, I will not drive with automated trucks on the roads. In town deliveries, get real bud.
the highway driving is what's easy for a tractor trailer and it'll be easy to automate, it's the in-town stuff that you'll need a human for a while still.
@@CP-dd8hk You are talking about an unsupervised 120,000 lb machine barreling down the road at 60 or 70 miles an hour with jyast a computer behind the wheel. Not for 30 years or more. My opinion
Tractor trailers can't weigh more than 80,000 lbs without a special permit. 12,000 lbs on the steers, 34,000 on the rear axle and 34,000 on the tandems. I know this because I used to drive one. It's also how I know highway driving is the easy part and in-town driving is the hard part.
also, mercedes already has tractor trailers that can do highway driving autonomously, the driver just gets it onto the highway and then turns the autopilot on.
highly specialized jobs are under threat. it has nothing to do with education or high pay, it has all to do on how well a specific task can be identified
If A.I. does everyone's jobs, then technically, we should all be retired by the time were born and never work all our lives and just get pampered! :) LOL
André Touchette how would the poor do that
lol
Yay!
aaron sas don't have kids if you're poor
A pampered populace won't feel any incentive to seek the skills needed for such an advanced economy. The machines will break, or the machines that fix broken machines will break. If no one bothered to acquire the necessary skills the economy will rapidly collapse.
Of course I agree that far fewer people will need to be productive. Just as far fewer farmers are needed since tractors were introduced far fewer lawyer, doctors, accountants, middle management will be needed.
It's going to be a kooky economy were only a few percent work furiously while 90+% do whatever they feel like. I hope we develop the 20-hour work week, then 10-hour, then 5-hour. Everyone can have a job that gives them a self-worth but the remaining 163 hours in the week can go to rest, family, and hobbies.
Actually, this is great for those who were always indifferent to the plight of the blue collar worker. Next up to bat, the white collar worker. Folks, regardless, white collar, blue collar, red collar, green collar, purple collar, if you don’t start your own business and pay yourself, you’re going to end up a beggar.
Hey you guys should stop disabling comments in your videos. Its too bad to see dialogue being shut down on religious topics or about sexual abuse in the rcmp
Vincent Tremblay *the CBC are nefarious cowards*
is*
Invent a 3D pizza printing robot please lol
I'd like 40% of the CBC to be automation. Less reporters, less dependants.
so who's going to buy pizza without jobs?
>coding
>HTML conference
Good meme
Coding is not for everyone since its boring for those who aren’t interested in complex problem solving
this is great for our society
In health science, does anyone believe automation could replace Medical Radiation Technologists in the coming decade?
fivealive2 Yes, it is already happening they outsource the work.
fivealive2 If Doctors are being replaced then why do you think a tech cant be replaced.
fivealive2 I'm hoping they replace doctors! Maybe they'll listen! My doctors have long since forgotten how!
Filmon Tewolde Very true that's why it takes 24hrs to get a scan read!
Already radiography smart computer has outperformed a radiographer.
Digital currencies won't help you because I will sell you food for 1 million dollar. Buy property and rent it in recession? good luck collecting rent on your unemployed tenants. If it is not reaching your minimum occupancy rate, you'll go negative. Computer science will last at least 50 years. You can do it in another country too. Diversify your investment to emerging countries.
The time for Universal Basic Income is now.
Hopefully by 2020-2021
