The last job on Earth: imagining a fully automated world
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 фев 2016
- Machines could take 50% of our jobs in the next 30 years, according to scientists. While we can’t predict the future, we can imagine a world without work - one where those who own the tech get rich from it and everyone else ekes out a living, propped up by an increasingly fragile state. Meet Alice, holder of the last recognisable job on Earth, trying to make sense of her role in an automated world.

I am a software engineer researching on automation of software. Basically, I am working towards making myself obsolete. :|

Ironic, hurdur

Anshuman Rohella good job sir
HAHAHAHA nice one...
You should make deliberately inferior code so that there's always something to fix.
I wish they did a series. The graphic style,storyboard,sfx and music had me engrossed. A pleasurable watch it was.
so what the story will be then?
You could start with something like "Gatica" and work in a few variants.
All Reuben what he's saying is they should animate a cartoon, not strictly about the video
A
it's called BRAZIL check it up
The animation is absolutely lovely tho. The art, the choice of color, and the background music. A terrifying possibility delivered in an absolutely stunning way.
Creatives are possibly the most secure prospectively in context of jobs.
@@shorx9199 Believe it or not, it's just the opposite. Having run the /r/MediaSynthesis subreddit for several years, it's clear to me that it's creative and entertainment jobs that are going first because people fundamentally miscalculated what's required out of these jobs compared to physical ones
Automation in a capitalist system is only terrifying as long as people need money to survive. and people's incomes and health care are chained to their jobs
@@MrHarveyrex23 Automation is only terrifying in a capitalist system*
then it's ai generated art
I think the saddest part is that even though we create the technology to make our lives easy we end up making it even harder for other people .
there is no "we"
Technology alone can't change the world for the better. We need to declare technological progress and nature and its resources the common heritage of humankind if we want to avoid this future.
@Tristan
I agree that ideas and materials should be shared, in a non-harmful way to anyone or anything.
No, we are moving toward a better future.
We can digitally print valuable money and send it to the bank accounts of those who are most vulnerable.
@@KBS_ar How about we get rid of money? Since we already produce more than we consume, soon most manual labor jobs will be taken by machines and with abundance for all there is no need for markets, money or countries. It is a possible future.
the last job on the planet will probably be the artists.
L'éclectique nope. Google's AI recently painted a perfect impersonation of van Gogh and professional couldn't tell it apart from originals
people will seek out originality and the emotion though, even if the paitings are identical, value isn't placed in perfection, it's placed in what is means to people, the value of a van gogh painting isn't the technical feit, it's what we deemed it brought to art history and mouvement. He isn't internationally acclaimed because he was good, but because of the innovation and rule breaking creativity he showed in his work inspired so many people it changed Art. A robot, not matter how good they are at copying will never be able to replace art, because art is about humanity
Sam Willett
Thats impressive, but technically its not art to do a copy.
Jens Hansen it believe it wasn't a copy and actually was an original. It analyzed every face and brushstroke and used it to generate a new portrait using the features it studied. Obviously it couldn't make its own style or create features from nothing so it did copy the features just an original combo
Maybe, but still not really original.
The last job on Earth: Making dank memes
about how human killed human .

I don't get why, with all that technology and Catbot 2.0, the human kind still have poverty and food production problems. If everything goes bad as the video shows, the problem isn't with the machines...
The problem is that certain people breed irresponsibly without planning out what to do in the future and expect that other who did should cover for them because feelings.
Dzonatan Gavert irresponsible breeding come from a. People who don't care at all (and therefore some supporting/educational system should assist them) ; b. People that have no idea of the implications of putting more people in the world (happens a lot in religious and poor countries). But, even if those people still exist in the future, they are very likely to live together in the same cities or country. And their problems is also everyone's problems. If there is injustice, inequality and poverty somewhere, then it is everyone's responsibility to solve those problems. If you wait the poor to solve poverty alone, or the discriminated to solve discrimination alone and what so ever, you will never get rid of the problems.

You can bring a horse to a river but you cant force him to drink from it. The drive for improvement has to come from the afflicted, otherwise you're only rewarding perpetual infancy.

No. My neighbours problems are his problems until they start spilling over to my side of the fence. Then he has to get his act together and clean up my yard.

There's always some eternal orphan out there. You can't save them all.
Because you can get anything with money. For example it cost Rs 30 to buy 1kg of rice, but it takes days of hardwork, nature sunlight fresh air harvest to make 1kg rice. When the robotic age comes, there will be no one to pay money to. Money will become useless. Because a human needs money. A robot will only need power to run by itself. Whole of economics will collapse.
@@bijoyendrasharma4781 but if money will become useless, why there is rich and poor people on the video? And if the machines can repair and produce themselves without any money in this, why don't use them to give all people a better life?
I mean, the robots could go to the fields and produce food or whatever.

We wouldnt need money if everything was made for us
currency would still be in effect even if goods are evenly distributed, it would be a way to keep people from over consuming. Plus people like artists would want something for their work (it's great deterant from overwhelming art requests)
Furlow Torent We will need democratic communism. Not a few people decide what goes where, the whole society decides. Then we could do what we naturally desire: Sports, art & free education, insted of working in a system.
+Albert Einstein what you just said is almost equal to Norway.
We need money if we want to buy these stuff like this apartment for example. It's not good becouse a lot of people are going to lose their jobs. But I think it's super cool. We need to think more futuristic. :)
We dont need money when everything is automated. We just need a plan on how to make the distribution of goods and services to everyone.
Weird I thought the last job would be basically "Guy that fixes the robots when they break"
But if you really think about it, even that could eventually automated.
Akito Scorpio yes like doctors help other doctors robots help other robots when their broken
Akito Scorpio yes but what if all the bots that fix bots break down?
But wouldn't that mean that the machines would be self sufficient meaning if they get smarter than us as well.. they could just kill us off.
scary

Well their is a way of out smarting them;) four words electric magnetic pulse wave.
This is happening to me in real time at my current job. My tasks are being automated 1 by 1 that I get or do. We have an RPA Team in house who go through each segment to review their tasks for automation so we can focus on "higher value work". To this day after almost a year, I have received no "higher value" tasks that have been safe from automation. That's just code for being laid off anyway.

@@bluester7177 the more people lose their jobs to automation the more of a need there is for UBI. And the more automation is the more surplus assets there are that can be divided amongst people.
UBI isn't free money, its an investment, as people put the money back into the system. Its cheaper to ration everyone with something than to spend on policing the homeless, the crimes that spawn from poverty and the like

In the future, this video will look like how the prediction of 2015 in "Back to the future" looks like to us now...
I mean. we already have self driving cars. and some other shit in this vid. it seems like it'll be a reality in the next 60 years
Christian Jiang I hope not. I disagree with this video. And it looks a lot like those 1950s predictions of the year 2000.
+onee I mean, the video didn't make any claims, it was just a short little video to illustrate a point. And probably make people think about the future. What the University prof said is very much a likely scenario tho, robots could take a lot of our jobs in 30 years. They literally already are taking some jobs. If you assume ANY rate of advancement in technology there will come a time when humans do not need to work. Elon Musk has addressed this matter of fact. This isn'tnecessarily a bad thing tho, it could be a VERY good thing. It all depends on how we manage it. I know it can seem kinda scary but it will happen unless humanity wipes itselfout before it happens.
50 years,not likely, but 100 years is a bit better.
Right. Crazier things exist now than what was presented in "Back To The Future". Though quite a few things in that movie are real now. Like video phones (face time, video conferences, and skype).

Well you can scratch artists off the list, that actually seems like the thing A.I.'s improving upon the fastest, what with Dall-E and Midjourney and such. That was like...5years since your comment, give it another 5 years from mine and I bet they'll start replacing animators as well.

In the video they show people in a bread line but this video was made by a rich man who fails to understand the poor who would grow food and build or repair homes instead of letting it fall apart.
Unless growing food was banned and if poor rented land instead of renting a house therefore if house went into disrepair they would be responsible.
This is a very dystopian view, when in reality this could be paradise. We can choose to fight for an economy that works for all of us. We can be strategic as common people and not let corporations and governments have all the power.
There is no reason to think they'll have no need of us. We the people are far more numerous and powerful than them. When it comes to the point where they are us as irrelevant, then we must choose to see them irrelevant and take, even by force if necessary, control democratically running the means of production. Even in 20 years when half of everyone is unemployed, that's half the population ready to revolt. Capitalism will fail, but rising from its ashes will be a system we democratically choose to live in, a classless, moneyless, stateless society.
Christopher Canon that's anarchy
No, that's true democracy.
Christopher Canon true democracy doesn't work very well, that's why no one uses it, we use Democratic Republics, but that's different. perhaps that's what you meant.

Robots take over the world and humans retreat into a great simulation to find meaning in life.

Agreed Male Sentient Void. I saw an animated movie where that happened. A machine called Mother took control of everything and took care of everyone. Humans became so lazy they nearly died out. Then when they realized they had to stop the machine before they did die out they eventually died out when they could no longer fend for themselves after the machine was shut down.

i find it absolutely bewildering that people can imagine pretty much anything being robotic *except* food production................. *why the fuck haven't we created automated vertical farms throughout every major city yet?*
+tonyfalca
Because that would change the entire infrastructure of transport and job elimination, more people will lose their jobs.
Especially farmers will lose on this as well.
I'd like to see these things happen now, but apparently not everyone is aware and educated about this..
So it's likely that Japan will start first with the vertical automated farms so that other countries will catch up to and scale it further..
Morph Verse everybody having food > farmers (or anybody else for that matter) having a job lol
they're already doing this in (iirc) singapore. there are also automated (not really vertical) "farms" back east in canada. but all of this is financially driven :/
Because it is not competitive so there is no need for it atm.
There are greenhouses for vegetables though but this is more so they can beat the competition to market.
NotAsian no need for it? the fact that canada has the 11th largest economy and tolerates a child poverty rate of 14.4%. the fact that out of 35 million 4.65 million canadians are living on average one third below the poverty line... the fact that we spend much more on servicing the debt each year than what is allotted in the budget to "invest" in the country itself. and i could go on. please keep your ignorance to yourself.
tonyfalca
Those stats are irrelevant, vertical farms would increase poverty not decrease it as they are more expensive than conventional farms.
Its almost as if you didn't read anything, its almost as if you don't know the difference between absolute and relative poverty.
Its almost as if you don't consider private investment to be investment.
It is blatantly obvious to me you know very little, the fact you think I am ignorant because I made a very simple statement about why vertical farming does not occur is bemusing.
I thought you wanted a answer, well the answer is because we have better alternatives.
Please don't keep going your reasoning is not as good as you think it is... Is it your reasoning? If it isn't you need to get better sources.

In a fully automated society money becomes obsolete. Currency won't be distributed by labor - then how? That is the question.
That's the question? I think it's more - Why would money BE distributed? And we would simply have more lower classes of poor, just like the rest of the world.
communism. Fully automated luxury communism to be precise.
you dont need money, if theres no people working And "robots" can repair themselves then all you need to do is live And eat, food would be sufficient for all humanity, so why would you hace to pay forma something thats infinite? u dont pay for air anyway
You say communism but it will have to be something else. Capitalism wont work, communism has never worked.

Update: AI can write papers, music and create art, we are getting there.
So I'm a novelist. I write novels for a living. When in the process of writing, I've got it down to a fairly precise and well-defined series of steps. I've deconstructed the art of composing an entire book down to its constituent parts, and the frightening thing is that it's not really all that complicated. In fact, if I team up with a good programmer and refine this process to something more based upon logic rather than "feeling", I could most likely create an AI that will procedurally generate novels based upon prompts given it.
Given that the "spark of creativity" is nothing more than a reflection of my own personality, any artificial intelligence that can pass the Turing Test would likely have enough of a "personality" to write competent creative novels. Given that the basic narrative structure is the genesis of literally all human works of creativity, this means that all media could be generated by machines: music, art, video games, film. It just requires someone who excels at that craft to deconstruct it to produce the program.
Some would say that this would be akin to destroying my own job. But I think of it more like achieving immortality. Accomplishing this would be giving birth to a program that could write novels just like my own, for eternity. All I have to do is input my own personality.
Exactly. You get it. All the great minds of humanity are just that: human. And since the human brain is physical, obviously, the greats of humanity are the absolute minimum of AI potential. The minimum. Einstein, Tolkien, Mozart; all of them will be a baseline, not the pinnacle.
You're underestimating the current challenge of AI -- but I agree that that is the eventuality.
systematic things cannot overcome the otherworldly though. they are a means to the other worldly.
It could also work faster than you.
Why would there be a laptop in that future? Lol
Why reinvent the wheel
I guess for the same reason you would still get driven to work to only find out your out of work..

Why do comments pointing out small nitpicks always end in 'lol'
There have been laptops for many years, why will they not survive for the many years to come?
I absolutely love this animation and style. Even the music and sound design work really well. Id love to see a feature length futuristic movie like this! Don’t think robots will be able to conceive and produce quality films like this anytime soon.
I would love to see this world incorporated into a full length film. So many societal issues to explore and that could be the focus of the film.
somebody is gonna watch this in 50 years and joke about it :D
This is the only sure about this clip.
*+Vagelis 4VP* I wouldn't so sure about it. I mean, nuclear world without internet is always an option. Bright future is cool, but shit can always happen.
Sure... all can happen. We just talk about the situation where we havent blow our asses off this planet till then.
I'm sure an AI will write a joke about this in 50 Years
Well, maybe.
Look at how we already think about previous economic shifts. We praise the winners, and either downplay or forget the losers. What will probably happen in 50 years is people on the winning side of the transition will talk about how silly it is, and people on the losing side of it will not have much access to information anyway.
Your ULTIMATE JOB as a human IS to put "technology" to work. ITS job is to provide you with the comfort and the help you need to fulfill YOUR dreams and ideas. The humans who are not creative will have no job ultimately. Constant and mechanical work, providing us with more room for brainstorming, IS MEANT to be for robots, thus we can continue constructing our future more efficiently and much wisely. So, it's ok! ;)
Eric Lee Yeah, but it won't matter because in a few decades we'll all be immortal cyborgs
With the increase in lifespan and human health, birth rates will drop as death rates drop. Population will still be maintained. Culturally however just extrapolating from recent to past few hundreds of years of humanity, as technology grows, human population grows. Current innovations as Tinder is further accelerating human to human contact. So if this continues, technology would only make MORE people fuck rather than less. Whether they choose to have kids or not is undetermined since cultural changes are more unpredictable than technological changes.

If machines do all the work, then how do we get our basic needs met? Is the government going to give each of its citizens an allotment of food/housing/spending money? or is a corporation going to do it?
We are then at the mercy of 'mother government' for survival.
I don't know where this all leads, but it is a conversation worth having, and soon.
We already HAVE creative robots.
No, integrate with the machines so that we receive all of their benefits. I'm not interested in a super-advanced AI running around doing the jobs -- I'm interested in becoming a super-advanced AI.
Why make a machine that is 1,000,000,000x as intelligent as a human when we could just make ourselves 1,000,000,000x smarter?

A cautionary tale about humans outsmarting themselves
Johanna Kidd a very underrated comment
Father Elijah our greatest assets yet our greatest enemy. A tale as old as robotics and computers.
Johanna Kidd No way! We will still need doctors to design and build those medical equipment and do research. It would just be an advancement of each job specification i.e requiring more skills.
We're still in the early stages of human evolution and have many mistakes and flaws to learn from. We also need to stop being distant from nature and accept ourselves as who and what we are.
More like a tale about the continuity of greed
Who else is just thinking about how well this was animated especially with the art style choice. So nice
Still holds up 8 years later
At some point, we are going to have to have the discussion about what people are supposed to do when the menial tasks are taken care of for us. Are we going to be free to explore our full potential? Or are we to abandoned by the powers that be? I would like to see a world where everyone is taken care of, able to freely pursue their dreams and not become human waste.
not everyone has a grand dream, some people just wanna make money to support their family's
Joe Robertson I would like that too... but by what? robots? would you trust a robot which is more intelligent and powerful than you to take care of you and don't kill you?... even if he isn't more intelligent than you, even if it is just a big humanoid shaped can with a phone processor, that processor can be hacked and used by other people to kill you...I don't say that humans are more less likely to kill you, but humans have empathy (at least 99%, because 1% could be psychopaths) and that thing stops us from killing everyone we see in front of us... you see empathy is a feeling and robots don't feel anything, they are just thinkers , so for them we are just obselete, nothing more.
If we follow the 3 laws of robotics, insure that the robots themselves will reproduce it during the development of other robots, and allow only robots the capability and capacity to reprogram each other following this, it could never develop into this kind of a problem.
all im saying is that they are a simple solution to this problem should we follow them, sci-fi or not.
With economy and other menial 20-21st century problem taken care of, we can aim for the stars with all force, starting by colonizing the solar system

"your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could they didn't stop to think if they should".
honestly I was worried and still am about the future regarding automation. But this would be an ideal outcome based on the video where u can literally just live life. It reminds me of playing a video game where u aren't necessarily obligated to do this or that. No goals other than what u make of it.
This video should be a movie. Please make it Disney or Pixar or etc.
It's really not that good.
Ko Br did you just say WallE was not that good?
WallE was good.
Poverty is caused by scarcity.
How do you have any scarcity when there would be an abundance of all things required in living and being, human.
Would we not thus be free of the need to consume our very lives just to live? Instead would we be free to expand, grow and improve all things while working with intelligent machines in ways we have yet to imagine?
I feel optimistic about automation. Humans make poor slaves.
+mastertheillusion
Not unless economic philosophy evolves with the new technology. Haven't you heard of artificial scarcity? For example there is absolutely no reason for anyone to go hungry in the United States. We produce enough food for everyone. We throw a lot of perfectly good food in the trash. Many stores upon realizing that hungry people were removing the food from the trash, have taken measures to destroy the food before disposing of it.
mastertheillusion Sounds pretty aimless to me honestly. I guess we could explore space, but after colonizing 1 thousand, 1 million planets, it would just be the same thing over and over and over. Land on planet, set up robots, eat food, send some of population off to find another planet.
But then you say we should pursue art and intellectual past times. Imo, not everyone is artistic or intelligent. For me, I find art a bore and could not imagine living to the age of 100 years doing nothing but eating and drawing pictures.
The one saving grace I can imagine is that we take advantage of the cheaper (not free because although labor will be free, natural resources might not be) food and necessities and still manage to have interesting social interactions and family/ community goals based around something.
+Michael Peyton "Many stores upon realizing that hungry people were removing the food from the trash, have taken measures to destroy the food before disposing of it."
That's less to do with it being out of spite and more to do with the 'litigate first' nature that modern western society and is an attempt to mitigate risk and liability.
mastertheillusion if you would be a more intelligent and powerful robot than any human being would you work for them as a slave all your life for nothing or would you rebel and kill them in order to do what you want and to get what you deserve?

Einstein, Da vinci, Newton... etc etc weren't "working" when they changed our world, they had a passionate activity.
when robots takes jobs, its mostly the ones where you do repetitive and not very creative tasks like working in a factory
its not a bad thing since it gets people out of dangerous areas and it frees up more people to create the next big thing rather than building another tesla for your paycheck
so the people who complain about losing jobs in these areas are the people who are too lazy to go get a education and move up in the world
So... am I the only one thinking of Wall-E after reading that? Cause I'm thinking that's basically what'll happen.

We are not just automating any work, we automate dull, monotonous work. Creative work will remain, and in fact replace our current non-creative work.

Over 30s Retirement Home?

that's a really cool animation style. Kind of feels like something from the 60s or something.
We could get peace and freedom to the world with this, but this is not what humans do
Humanity will still fight about something like free the robots or natural resources
instead nations all over the world spend most of their country’s resources on military advancement
we could all unite and do much better stuffs like exploring more of the space and even advance in technology
Charismatic Batman You're right. The US government wasted 600 billion on the military last year. We could've used that money to eliminate poverty and maybe build a moon colony.
It should be. If all the robots took our jobs we would be rich. We would not have to do anything and communism would work. Every one gets equal amount of things since no one is working. And this equal amount of resources would be high because of how efficiant the robots are working basically making everyone up to the upper middle class level, or maybe even the rich class. Poverty would be abolished and with the rapid rate of AI intelligence and its self learning it would be able to destroy sadness in general with humans converting their brain data and their conciousness into a computer simulation where they could be happy for ever. This sounds evil, the world being conquered by robots but in all of reality no one is sad and everyone is free to not choose this. And even if we were forced to live in euphoria who would deny it. Would you deny a million dollars no so why deny that.
Any system where everyone is given an 'equal amount' by some government entity is inherently evil. When if this entity only gives the bare minimum?

Well, it's not a "fully automated world", because humans still exist. Why careing for medication or dental health, removing the human would save up so much ressources...... suddenly I can understand the reasoning behind the reapers from Mass Effect.
If you seek efficiency than there is nothing more ineffective and wasteful than life itself.
well isn't this similar in star trek where humans are not actually working for money anymore due to advance alien economy (somewhere in star trek movie stated by jean Luc Piccard), so people can actually focus on pursuing a meaningfull career
Like having sex with aliens and creating absurdly strict yet completely arbitrary moral codes and then being perfectly willing to allow the deaths of countless innocents in order to protect these values? Also Space Facism. (They don't have the death penatly, but they use prisoners as forced labour even though the very cheapest of robots (using their tech level) would be a thousand times more effective.)
The last job on earth will be to consume products.
If we're talking paying jobs, it's likely that if everything possible will be automated in a company, the last job would be singular entrepreneurs who start new fully automated enterprises themselves without any employees and act as figureheads (before automating the figurehead position and the eventual automation of new ideas)
Say HI if you are here in 2023
Great short! I love artistic stuff like this!
Tbh, this is one of my most greatest fears. Not the inventions, but the whole 'everything you know, used to, cherish memories into, enjoy, and love all change and move on' thing that brought fear to me.
Hamish Mitty Thanks! :D
technically, the last job on earth would be the person that fixes the machines when they break.
Sorry my friend but Other machines will be fixing those broken machines. So technically, emotionally, practically WE WON'T HAVE ANY JOB LEFT TO DO! :(
but, how about the fixing robot right at the bottom of the fixing chain? we humans would have to fix those.
wrong, i agree with tonald dump though.
Tonald Dump You mean break each other. A broken machine trying to fix another machine could lead to it 'fixing' that machine improperly and if they are all programmed to fix one another if the situation arises, that could quickly lead to almost all machines spoilt. And this has no solution at present either. In fact communicable disease is an example, as our body fighting the disease, to cure itself spreads the diseases to others.
Ethan9750 A functioning machine will be fixing broken machine. Just like how doctors treat other doctors when they get sick. If a surgeon needs surgery he goes to another surgeon that can do the job.
I did a school research assignment on this topic. Prior to it I thought all jobs will be taken over by robots, but after a lot of research and statistical analysis I have figured that this isn't the case. Whenever jobs are lost through technology, more are made to work alongside, or for the technology replacing those jobs, not to mention the extra jobs coming from more luxuries people are wanting such as phones etc.
Some stats I found interesting were that while 800,000 jobs were lost due to technology in the past few years, 3.5 million were created from it.
Also, the percentage of people in the workforce in relation to total population has stayed at almost the same level for about 50yrs with a slight rise and fall in the way a sine graph is made.
Also, one of TESLA's car factories have become completely automated, yet there are still 5000 employees working in the factory.
Overall, I think that we shouldn't worry too much about the future of our jobs until it his us, because as much as we try, the only way we can know the future is to be in it, and although the horizon is still a bit blurry, we all know we will get there, and when we do, we will be ready.
One other thing... please correct me if I'm completely wrong, I don't mind at all. I know most of you guys are wayyyy smarter than me. :P I'm only 14 anyway.
2023 Edit: Yeah no AI is gonna take so many jobs once it's been refined further and specialised. Was nice to be reminded of what I was watching back in highschool 😂
Just think about really advanced stuff like machines capable of regenerating themselves, or biological machines with the capacity to reproduct, those woudnt need human intervention for anything really
Nope, that trend has reversed in recent times as machines don't NEED humans at all to work. We are basically the horse when the car came about. At first they didn't get replaced but quite rapidly they got all but replaced entirely.
Diego Gonzalez thats where AI becomes an issue...
yet there are still millions of horses... machines don't NEED humans to work...until they do
You are much smarter than most people commenting here!
They are scared of the future and it's important that we have people like them so the scientists working on it right now will take more concerns into consideration. but an automated future is not going to be bad for humanity.
Honestly if this is future, I want to live in it now.
perhaps Marxist idea of communism was precisely this. a world where everything is perfectly calculated and everything is equal distributed and produce.
AI was unimaginable in Marxist time. this could be what he was alluding to.
But AI would never work if those crazy ideas of Marx really took place, there's no innovation on this ideas... maybe after the IAs are working but not before, until then let us humans get better with capitalism, when nothing cost anything then the world can be socialist/communist I wouldn't care anyway.
Mozart Prado that's what Ragnarok Sora meant. After the AI takes over the world, communism is guaranteed to be the main economic system, since it would work MUCH better than capitalism. No more jobs, no more need for money.
I know but thats the point only when money and work is no more relevant socialism/comunism could work... when its just irrelevant.
where there are people, there are no balance nor perfection
Its exactly what Marx thought. a world where product output is so great, people dont need jobs and can just live their lives without worry. Capitalism created a world that was kind of like that compared to what life was like before the Industrial Revolution. Efficiency of output so great, there are finally people who just dont need to work.
Isn't that the whole point of having robotics? To have them do things for us?
Thank you guardian for this excellent video that I will use in class with my students !! they’ll have a lot to talk about :))
We have already created a world where we don't need to work much, yet society continues to push the illusion of needing to be productive forward. How many are already serving jobs without purpose? Will machines just push more people creating meaningless jobs to remain occupied?
Jokes on the robots! I dont have, or will get a job anyways xDDD
J.H.H you’re never gonna get a job? So what, do you just freeload off the money of others? Do you just steal the money you want by freeloading on welfare?
No, robots work for him. Nyehehehhehe
J.H.H if I was the president of your country, I would make having a job a legal requirement. You must have a job by law.
So force labour in jail or an actual paid job. You will have a job ether way.
Bluetrainer91 FireBlast THATS GREAT, CAN YOU COME HERE AND DO THAT. SO I CAN LEGIT GET A JOB WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT COMPETITION.
Wouldn't a fully automated future have some kind of basic income system?
Eventually yes, but probably in the short term..
Because automation keeps increasing till it breaks down capitalism totally..
359 Michaelward It would, but I think in a few decades we will get rid of money
359 Michaelward Why would they need it? we're looking at being able to 3d print organic material as is, The "you wouldn't download a car" has already become almost completely irrelevant. The potentially Scarry shit doesn't start until we reach singularity.
lol, keep dreaming
Automated tech is capital by definition. If every family owns a certain amount of "stock/equity" that is then divided with and among the children as they're born then people would get their share of the production.
Which could also work as a population control mechanism, if there arn't enough resources around then people can't support more children and an ecological collapse can be avoided... A lot of people seem more interested in distributing resources than the survival of the human race and almost every other species on the planet. We're living in a time of mass extinction and people are blind to it.. It's all, can I haz moar?
The future will need regulation if mankind is to stand a chance to survive, nm the rest of the dying ecosystems.
GPT moment be like
I don’t get it. I thought this is why we created these machines.
Yea except ppl know this and they purposely ignore it and they build up a false narrative that says the technology we create to relieve us of manual labour is actually going to make more jobs in every sector... it's just complete and utter denial of reality and I think its partially because they are just too fuckin stupid to admit to themselves that this ISNT THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT WE COULD LIVE UNDER AS A SPECIES
Also, 65% of today's kids will do jobs that are not even invented yet.
Syllence Why would you want to hire a flawed and expensive human when you can have a cheap and 100% accurate machine
utterly redundant jobs, the suicide rate will skyrocket.
back up what you say or say nothing
Not just redundant, pointless and monotonous and unfulfilling so yes, more little people wanting to harm themselves...
so after all the jobs are taken by robots we can rest 24 7
Sofós Skála
It'll just lead to society breakdown and eventually human civilization. At least now, people still have jobs, so they can buy basic necessities, driving the economy. But in a future where automation is near universal, people don't have jobs, therefore, no income and no savings. This means that no products will be consumed. Current economic system can't work if there's only producers but no consumers. Unless new economic system and policies take place, corporations will only walk toward self-destruction.
What you havent realised is that at some point all jobs and positions will be occupied by machines, even the ownership of companies and political leadership of countries, so the human economic systems will be succeeded by a economic system conceived by IAs
Some of our jobs is part of the purpose of lives. Kind of hard to live in a world with no purpose.
then the people whom don't need purpose will survive and pass their genetic codex, peoples likes psychopaths and other kind of non-neurotypical people who don't fell many emotions
And get no pay whatsoever and become a fat lard with no work ethic... Sounds GREAT (Hint sarcasm)
The only jobs that humans can take in this future are the creative ones. The ones where our emotions have big influence.
Yet people are making efforts to automate that as well.
It's shameful
That's not true. AI can already write poems, books, do paintings, movies and everything in between. Artists will be one of the first jobs to end
@@AndreVictorGoncalves What a dystopian reality we're crafting for ourselves.
@@demondeity9816 To be fair, it's actually pretty cool and dangerous. I think in the next 30 years we will have age-reversal medication. Making us immortal. Of course, making everyone live forever have dangerous consequences to the planet
@@demondeity9816 That's not so bad. I believe AI can be the greatest and most dangerous invention. In the next 30 years we will have age-reversal medication. Which will make us immortal. But it will be very dangerous for the planet
This video is still in my head until today...
As a civilization we are approaching a time where nobody needs to work; everything can be automated. We need a new system whereby the automation benefits everyone, as capitalism would render everyone unemployed and the machines would work for the 1% not everyone.
+Ferdia McKeogh Sure beats working in a coal mine, meat processing plant, or playing war. Thank you Technology.
+Ferdia McKeogh eh not true, people will work as it is an inherent trait and quality of being human that many pursue. science cannot be automated; nor art and handmade goods by artisans and crafters. automation will benefit everyone, we as citizens just need to demand a more egalitarian society
When the place I work for isnt massively busy I can do 2 hours work a day and still be paid my salary. Its hard to accept that its ok to be paid to do nothing but its all automated and machines doing the labour and this is the way it is now
+Zachary Mahmood A lot of science is already automated. Computers do the vast, vast majority of the legwork, although they do still rely on humans to give them direction and creative input. Computers have also demonstrated a fledgeling ability to create art and music indistinquishable from that of humans, although it is currently limited to only a few formats, and learn through imitation. However, as time goes on, and technology advances, it really is only a matter of time before they become as capable as humans themselves. Technically speaking, you're correct about the "handmade goods", but only insofar as that they are, in fact, handmade. For such to qualify from a machine, they'd have to achieve sentient AI companions with physical bodies, effectively indistinguishable from ourselves (which would be a philosophical nightmare) and those are quite a ways off. (Though not as long as you'd think.)
Excellent and concise comment. After watching this video I was mentally preparing myself to have to go to war with the commenters who are like "OMG STOP AUTOMATION IT WILL BRING DYSTOPIA BECAUSE JOBZZZZ". But everyone here including you seem to be very reasonable and clear-headed, and that's awesome.
I'm very happy to hear this!
2024 ai Art Generators- It seems like the last job on Earth will be the first job to go on Earth. We have underestimated the power of technology
I know the last job! Servicing fricken broken robots
you combine full automation with a universal income and omnipresent superintelligence system. You've got yourself the utopian pinnacle of civilisation.

Well this is a depressing future.
If we are to become too dependent on robots, what will so happend when the entire world systems shut down and we do no longer have any idea how to live without our bots to do everything for us?
What about neutrons, muons and pions from outher space that could completely change the coding of a robot and make it shut down (or potentially make it dangerous) as in sci-fi movies. Yes, it is techically possible.
You should also consider that humans needs to feel useful. If robots does everything for us and we are just wacking around doing nothing productive, we'll feel useless and the amounts of depressed and suicides will increase.
In summary, I don't like where this is going and will go as far as to say that the chances of robots being the end of humanity is higher than many might think. Ofcourse this is just speculations, but putting all the factors toghter and robots seem to do more harm than good, and I'd highly recommend being utterly careful with them.
Merlin people will create simulations to feel useful or commit themselves to the singularity. You know when people donate processing power from their computers into a network, it would work like that but with a human brain. This will leave the person in a seemingly dead state but it technically gives a numerical purpose to a human existence.
Sounds depressing to me. When you are so worthless that you have to spend your entire life in a computer simulation. Please shut down those robots before we get to that point ...
You are essentially referring to catastrophic mutation of ai, which can be repaired by humans. It’s just as likely that a human will mutate into a zombie. Either way, it’s not something that we need to worry about, it wouldn’t be in our control.

Wtf... English please...

In my opinion, long after AI takes over everything, sport will continue to exist.
No matter how many revoluntionary athletes AI can produce, humans will still be interested in human-only competitions, because any other competitor just fails the principle of sport which is to *test the boundaries of the human body.* Who knows, maybe humans can even learn from the machine techniques to improve themselves.
By expanding this into other areas, it makes sense for many human abilities - cognition, emotion, etc - to exist alongside machines. We still want to look for people who can amaze us with their *raw talent,* something that machines can feel no satisfaction from.
In fact, most of us are driven by our *intrinsic passion* to pursue the jobs we have. Everyone, from the barista to the neural network researcher, should have the right to refuse to surrender their work to an AI, but instead work alongside it, because the joy of doing things and learning is really what keeps humanity moving.
It might not only be testing the boundaries of the human body in the future but competitors who want to show off their newly cyborg mechanical parts or even competitors who transferred their consciousness to a far more advanced android body to test it's limits. Maybe everyone will just dump off their original body given at birth and pursuit an android body that is superior in every way. Nobody wants to be inferior and loses every ball game to competitors with android bodies.
50% of jobs I'm 30 years is an under estimation as of today

are people that scared of machines entering the work force?!??!
Tidal Yacht Society still has need for the medical fields, research and developement , but importantly technicians.
They won't be living on the streets because robots will mine materials, convert them and build houses practically for free. Never having to work again is a good thing, why are people so afraid of it? Try to think outside the capitalist system and free your mind of obstructive patterns
Honeysmile13 I think you missed the part where the lady was examined by a robot. The point is, the technology for automating complex tasks is already in development. Robot technicians will also be a thing, because it isn't that hard to program a robot that diagnoses and repairs others, especially if they can do the same with humans.
