I HAVENT HEARD A SINGLE ONE OF YOU IDIOTS ADDRESS THE AUTOMATION PROBLEM

Kind of a girl thing, right? Just have a little laugh at it?

What do you expect people to do for money?

Automation is boring.

I don't know? Maybe they should learn how to repair the robots.

What Automation "Problem" ?

Surely you're not speaking of the Business owners practicing their Capitalism and making as much money as they can for themselves

.

It's automatic

Automation problem?
Automation is a good thing.
Are you saying that standing 8-12 hours a day doing the same task is a good life?

Automation, AI, + basic income is the future.

The devil makes work for idle hands - there you go!

Need to tax robots/automation for the humans they replace. Only way to avoid the coming crash.

It's going to have to come with some strings - just as life-extension is going to have to.

Otherwise you end up with a planet overflowing with useless people just taking up space, consuming resources, and doubling their population every 25 years or less.

Such as voluntary sterilization, off-planet colonization, or legally endorsed suicide (either voluntary or by lottery).

I'm not advocating for any of these things, just pointing out that making some choices of necessity means tolerating certain parameters and outcomes. Every silver lining comes with a dark cloud.

I like that. For every human a robot replaces, the robot must pay at least as much tax as the human would have paid.

kind of a big one I hear

Can they automate a way to keep the glaciers from forming soon?

Brrrr.

I address the automation problem daily and made a career of it.

There's worse ways to make a living.

At least I can be sure that things will always break, wear out, misbehave.

If I could make a living windsurfing, surfing, and canoeing, I would be doing that instead.

I personally believe it's all this automation buulllshit is why I can't even find a heater locally here in Florida to buy. I have never had a problem in previous cold spells finding heaters, but, ah, yes, let's let algorithms do our ordering instead of common sense.

I also feel that contributed greatly to all the shortages this year during the hurricane. We had three hurricanes one summer years ago in Florida and NEVER had that kind of supply problem, same with the idiots at power company, totally have gone backwards in time.

Automation shouldn't be a problem.

Lack of work shouldn't be a problem ... it is our reward for all the hard work we've put in since the industrial revolution.

Jobs for jobs' sake is way worse. Busy work sucks ... it's such a waste.

We need to accept as a society that there's not going to be enough work to go around and stop stigmatizing lack of work. A guaranteed basic income would need to be implemented ... and there should be zero stigma to that.

The problem is people who have worked hard carry these big chips on their shoulders and HATE the idea that people should be able to live without having to do busy work for its' own sake. IMO that's the big hurdle to overcome.

It doesn't matter. Welcome to the new ice age.

It did at my husband's company. They experimented with 2 very expensive automated machines last year. They kept breaking down and had to call in guys from Germany all the time to fix them.

Wasn't worth the trouble and expense, said fuck it.

I like vending machines.

Ah, yes. German technology.

I could write a wall of text about this.
These companies are never satisfied with simply selling you a good machine that is reliable and works for years before normal wear requires service.

They want to have a "relationship" with you that requires their frequent assistance. Or they have great technology with stupid over-complication compounded by flimsy construction.

I worked 15 years for a company that got bought by Germans and watched them screw up a good product.
Best laugh I had was when they replaced a US built internal motor in an oil bath with a German motor unsuited to the task.
Endless problems. The US engineers tried to fight it, but they insisted.
In the end, the German engineers had to listen to what everyone including the customers told them and went back to the US built motors. AND they had to retrofit the existing products at a loss.

When Siemens bought Texas Instruments, that was another example of a fine thing ruined by German obstinance.
