I hate signs, I hate fast food. I have never stopped at a resturant because someone had a sign. It's sad all of us are reduced to this kind of slavery, just to make a few sheckles.
Wish we could all go back to living on a farm.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33545947


Around here, some places pay you pretty good. About $11.00hr. Then again min wage is $9.19. $11 an hour is not bad, for needing NO skills, listing to your own music, not dealing with co-workers and not having a supervisor micro managing you. You know, if need a job, to pay bills and have a place a live.

Now a days a job is a job. Some forget that even educated people lost decent careers, for many years when the economy went bad. And had to start over.

Re: Wow! What's Next? It's All Truly Over Now!
To be honest.... I Did Not watch the video.

I have NoScript installed and it is great on cutting down on freezes and the like...

That said...

I do understand that the gist of the thread is concerning robotics taking over the jobs humans used to do.

The automotive industry (starting in Japan, don't cha Know) a hotbed of such activity for some time.


When I was a kid (decades ago.... I'm thinking.... five or so... yep, I'm Old) there were three major sci-fi thought-streams concerning machines taking the jobs of humans:

1. Humans would be, "freed," from the burden of such toilsome labor, free to explore the mysteries of existence, free to explore the cosmos.....

2. Humans would ultimately be targeted for extermination as such systems developed, "autonomy," in the intelligence category....

3. Humans rallied and went on an extermination rampage against self-aware robotics, engendering a quasi-jim crow atmosphere/exclusion/persecution of such.


Those were the main three themes This Old Fart (BTW, when I fart I have to check and make sure that's all that it was....) encountered as a kid in Sci-Fi comic book land.....

Stephen Hawking (I didn't spell check or wiki/google) has supposedly gone on record... at least what I've read from time to time... that AI, Artificial Intelligence, is THE greatest threat to mankind in our, "era."


Sometimes... with all the automaton-like functioning of those in corporate and government offices, I.E..... CorporaGov... and the wide-spread, "acceptance," of such across the board in so-called mainstream Americana.....

Sometimes.... I Wonder.... IF....

THE SINGULARITY has already occurred....

and we are/have been incrementally de-sensitized concerning our inherent humanity...

Re: Wow! What's Next? It's All Truly Over Now!
a dummy holding a sign is the "ultimate robot takeover"? and this thread is pinned??

putin

it makes perfect sense.. having an actual human being just standing on the sidewalk waving a sign at cars driving by is one of the most ridiculous jobs and business ideas I've ever seen. I feel sorry for every single person I drive by when I see them working this gig... I have certainly never been inspired to actually pull over and buy a pizza, or a mattress or whatever the f they're promoting. I frequently have thought "why not just have the sign on some sort of spring, so it waves back and forth? why the hell do they need a human being out there waving a sign?"

So, they figured it out: a mannequin with a motorized sign. This is hardly a sign of a "robot takeover".

How about learning some skills so you can aspire to get a better job than "sign waver"?? Morans...

You from a cave? They have a robotic assembly device that puts together solar panels that cut the jobs away from over 300 workers at just ONE PLANT .
And this robotic milker is being bought up by dairy farms. Yes, theres already machines that milk the cows, but this is a new device that rolls around and checks the health of the cows and attachs the milkers to the nipples. This has replaced thousands of workers
In computer programming and data entry and many desk jobs, Computers are getting more smarter and data savvy and corporations can make do with a lot less people these days.
Self checkout lanes too..

From all levels of workforce. Millions of people have lost jobs. Theres more people than jobs availiable.
 Quoting: ELNATHAN APOLLYON


Not news to me either.
They have replaced all the solid mainframe computing in the banking system with a cheap, DIY frontend called SAP R/3 or SAP R/4.

This means they've sacked all the experienced staff who knew how to type your baking destails and payments direct to the mainframe and it also means thousand of talentead administrators have been lost.

They will give anyone a job in a bank these days because all transactions are traceable but there's a large amount of internal fraud also. The place I work at has an internal fraud dept. About 30 or so policing their own organisation.

When I first worked there, there was no Fraud dept and Complaints was about 90. Now there's 4 fraud departments and money laundering prevention teams as well as a complaints dept that has grown to about 400.

Approx 60,000 in whole organisation. National Bank which "fell" during the credit crunch.

It's about to fall again.

For those who think their money is protected up to £50k, they should imagine how long they would need to wait in a queue for the refund after the crash. An how much that £50k would be worth then.

Probably nothing.

Righto, this ain't no little house on the prairie. Not in the cities and burbs, anyway. But this IS a vast country and yes, there are rural, self-sufficient options to be had if you're sick of the system.

You can't fault corporations for wanting to reduce costs. Robots don't need health insurance, don't call in sick, don't get divorces and lose 60% of the productivity until it's final. And robots don't need to be drug-tested, will never show up to work hung-over, won't spend an hour a day getting coffee and gossiping instead of working. And they require no supervision so you can save on management time/costs as well! Corporations are FOR profit entities, they will continue to endeavor in that direction.

And that reality is making it increasingly hard to make a living for most people. The system no longer works. So yes, think old school. Go back before technology...how did people live? Can they live that way again? You betcha! Think outside the box!

PS - yes, I always feel sorry for those fools holding the signs and never frequent the stores that use humans that way.

To make matters worse, its the temp agencies, labor ready type of deals that usually send the unemployed out to wave those signs. Some guys just need something/anything to get some money, Now they are even taking that away.

I know the torment of the temp-agency and wearing Disney Crap costumes in promotion work, during summer like temperatures even. Did that while completing high school, living in my girlfriends car, working a Mc-burger job, while picking-up hours detailing Brand-new cars off a train that where to be loaded on a ship for overseas sales.

If it is true that one dies and then takes another body and lives another lifetime, then it could also be possible for one to take a robot body that is designed correctly and live a life operating a robot body.

It is simply a matter of correct technology and preference.

I think somebody upstairs already knows this and has it worked out, eh!
