It's already doing so. Wait till all the drivers get out of jobs (fairly soon) you'll have several millions unemployed. The creative jobs are no safer either, AI is getting smarter and smarter.

>>132410542
>The creative jobs are no safer either
these are by far some of the safest honestly.

there will always be a need to do design work of any kind.

>>132409409
It will kill the jobs of all workers eventually

>>132410754
how many people can you have designing shit? also what you consider design (web for example) can easily be automated, hell AI can even design cars based on past purchasing trends https://www.fastcompany.com/3054028/inside-the-hack-rod-the-worlds-first-ai-designed-car

automation is sort of a meme. technology is hard to predict, as evidenced by the fact that we arent in flying cars rn.

>>132410754

Low skills workers? Its reached high skills jobs as well. Japan is already replacing humans with bots in the insurance industry. My local bank used to have at least 10 people working in it. Now theres only 3. 1 bank manager and two loan specialists. Hell even government jobs are now at least 60% automated. Even if you expelled every migrant, companies still see automation as the cheaper option.

There's still tons of room for manual laborers. Every person in my neighborhood has a yard crew come around every couple of weeks. Anything that involves repairs/refurbishing/maintenance is going to remain. Also all the QA/QC and regulatory functions of every business aren't going to be automated.

That's tons of jobs that aren't ever going to be touched.

>>132411875
I know I'm fucked when we've got sophisticated AIs to replace us in R&D.

Not just low skilled workers. Jobs like accountant and computer programmer are going to be hit hard too. Yes, obviously the solution to millions of jobs disappearing is to increase immigration from the 3rd world.

>>132410754
No. these are not the safest jobs.
These are jobs that dont even require us to combine good robotics with good AI.

All you need for design is alghorithyms that see how popular preexisting designs are, they can then just emulate them and try new things. Seeing what kind of music people like or how they want their architecture to be built will easily be automated, google already knows.

The least safe jobs are the pure mundane stuff in a controlled environment. So factories, harvesting crops, food preperation. These things can easily be automated using existing technologies.

The next unsafe are purely analytical jobs. Computers are already better than doctors at diagnosing illness. A lawyer-bot is going to be able to cross refference the body of all president much better than any lawyer. An engineering program will design a functional bridge.

After this comes creative jobs, only because they have to do the above but need some sort of feedback input from society. This isnt that hard since everyone is already tracked online and likes, thumbs up/down, assigns a star rating, or something similar, to everything they have an option to do so. It will only be slightly more difficult to have an artificial composer than an artificial doctor, only slightly.

Lastly, the most secure jobs are those that require physical tasks in a non-fixed non-controlled enviornment. A robot that comes into your house, doesnt crush your dog or kid, and repairs your washing machine. It will have to be autonomous, smart, as well as physically capable of human-like dexterity, Importantly it will have to interact directly with people in a personal way, so it will above all kinds of things need to be the most personable, the most comfortable to be around.

Once we can replace the cable guy with a machine there will be no more jobs.

There's always a place for you in manual labor, anons.
It ain't so tiring after a while.

That's the plan lol
It will mean more unemployment and welfare

It's the beginning of a cashless society in America, based on smartphones first and then gradually upon chips or tattoos or some other sort of implant. It's just some dumb idea right now, an idiotic spectacle \ television commercial, but that's how it starts. S l o w l y . Kids will get used to it, and in ten years it will be completely normal and matter of fact and expected. Cash will be phased out mostly, but probably never all the way. Drug deals and the black budget rely on it, without which the entire economy and country would collapse. But for ordinary day-to-day shit, money won't exist. Just another factor of the Surveillance Society, with bank accounts physically embedded in you at all times, weird shit like those retina scans that can identify you from fifty yards away, etcetera. It's all starting with this Jeff Bezos faggot.

>>132409409
It will kill some jobs, but nowhere near enough people are making it out to be. Amazon, for example, can do it because of the amazing infraestructure they have. People who praise automation and regard it a trivial thing achieve generally lack the technical background and talk out of their ass, like >>132410542.

>>132413161
This. And there will be nothing you'll be able to do to fight back, everything you do even right now is tracked. I guarantee you that they have a profile on most people who post here. I used with my parents that if Facebook was available in the time of Ceauses he wouldn't have needed informants, people tell you where they are and what they're doing voluntarily 24/7. Not to mention the permanent tracking and listening device we're all carrying with us.

In twenty years fifty percent of jobs will be gone through automation. That's why you're hearing about guaranteed basic income. With so many unemployable people they will need some means to get by. I think the global elites have a back up plan to eliminate a large portion of humanity through war and pestillence.

Fire workers.
Less income for buyers of the products.
Products need to be cheaper, so every company will go automation.
Even less income now.
Market wil reach a piont of saturation and that people dont buy everything anymore, consume will stagnate.
Now machines are not cheap anymore, upgrades that they can produce other products isnt cheap but risky.
industry implodes and maybe only some big companies survive that have enough money to wait for the exodus to end.

Guess at some point in history there will be a tax for machines. Machine equals 10 workers and is autonom, so the company has to pay a tax for 10 workers. Products that cant prove that at least x amount of workers worked on it get a tax that the company has to pay.

1. Govt would see hackable car being in their benefit (end 90% of car chases instantly with the vehicle locking it's doors and driving straight to jail, because thugs didn't think to disable or bypass software)

2. Cars can't get drunk, distracted, or talk on cell phones so insurance companies see them as less of a liability than you in the majority of 'real life' situations.

3. Corps will have already used auto-drivers to cut out employee fees in transportation buisness, and have set a precedent of functioning passably for

4. Great way to control traffic flow and remove individual liability.

You can oppose it all you want, but eventually, it will become the new standard, and then, it will become mandatory (and your neighbors will support it for their safety and ease.)

I'll say this:

If a candidate doesn't mention and have an economic plan surrounding automation, then they are a liar. See: Hillary and Trump.

If they have an economic plan that features taxing businesses that invest in automation, they are luddites and should be ignored: Elizabeth Warren.

If they have an economic plan that encourages automation and invests in UBI and higher corporate tax rates, embrace them, for they show a path to the golden age of man.

All citizens should own a share of machine labor and receive dividends for the machine labor much like the Alaskans and their Alaska Permanent Fund.

Hawaii is well on it's way to being a leader for these United States:
http://www.businessinsider.com/hawaii-basic-income-bill-2017-6

Beware of the luddites who say that the next step in human evolution (children of the mind, AGI) are not coming. They will arrive in 15 years, but during that time gap the ANI will begin replacing jobs at an alarming rate.

Divorce yourself from the idea that labor = worth and you may yet survive to see man's golden glory and the rise of our progeny.

A machine just believes what the databank says is right.
Since its easier to hack or get into a chip than a brain to "convience" it.
At least till now, lets wait for Johnny Pneumonic or ghost in the shell human implants.

Or that suddenly a hacker hijacks a car and drives it in a dark alley.

Hard to say. You will always need low skilled workers, but automation is absolutely killing off some of those jobs. A lot of the time people think about it only in an "all or nothing" scenario.

Consider McDonalds order taking machines. The argument often used is nobody will use them, but that isn't true at all. If McDonalds adds 3 of these machines and closes down a register, you will have a significant number of people that will use the machine to avoid the line that is now building up from the closed register. The register job stays, but the required people to do it is lower.

What automation usually does is removes "that guy" who is around just because he has always been around, or the part time workers and replaces them with full time workers. Added in are jobs with maintenance repair on the machine (for the above example). There is still absolutely a net loss of jobs though.

Another thing to keep in mind is it actually removes the need for low level management as well. A lot of low level managers are basically low level workers who aren't complete fuck ups and show leadership. With automation, these people are demoted back to the worker position, since you don't have to hire trash as much anymore.

To answer OP, increased automation is already affecting the economy and politics, and will continue to do so in the same way. The "wage gap" you constantly hear about is a direct (and probably only real significant currently) result of this.

Source: I have been advising small-medium businesses how to reduce their workforce through automation for almost 20 years.

>>132415003
>There is still absolutely a net loss of jobs though.
Dont think so.
At least there is a shift from low skill to high skill worker and not eveyone can get that high skill.
And as an example, electro cars have a simpler engine, less parts resulting in less workers needed. And the maintance is better too, that means that the electro car need 1/4 of repair than a regular, means less technicans.

With automatons you will have some maintance, repair, but the question is, if its high enough to get a net loss. And a machine dont need sleep is stronger, quicker.

A net loss is possible, but i dont see it, since machines can compensate it.

>>132414164
>All citizens should own a share of machine labor
In exchange for what exactly? For the privilege of consuming yet more resources with no return? When the pyramid of power hands yet more control to those with system access you predict they will proceed to 'responsibly' return that power to the common people? To what end? It is not in their benefit to elevate or share their power with those who can now offer nothing.


>Divorce yourself from the idea that labor = worth and you may yet survive
Survival is dependent on the grace of those who maintain control, towards those who are their subsidiaries. The attitude of the subsidiaries is primarily irrelevant towards their survival (though trying to prove themselves useful or well mannered towards their patrons is probably a good indicator towards survival.)

Both Ideal Democracy and Communism overturn classical class elitism by forwarding the idea that the inferior many may overwhelm and crush the superior few (and thus the superior few must tread lightly to placate the masses.) Advances of the automated age inverts this power pyramid and places the very advantages of the numberless many into the hands of the superior few (those few who may control production and automation.)

You predict a future of equals, with a technology that only promises societal inequality of the likes never before seen. A new nobility will make themselves into gods, but they will not be obliged to share their heavens.

I'm in one of the few jobs that is future proofed at least until I retire, Psychiatric Nursing can't really be done by A.Is and robots

>>132416261
>You predict a future of equals
That's the best option you can hope for.

There are other options. Trust me when I say that you wouldn't want to see an emergence of Neo-Feudalism. Let's say for instance you had to races of human, the vanilla variety of the unenhanced and the post humans of tomorrow with enhanced mental acuity, physical prowess, and negligible senescence, would you like to live in such a world.

Trust me when I say you'd always be in the former and never the later because you are neither monied or connected enough to fall into the potential post human pot. You better hope that AGI is a great equalizer and not disparity machine, else you'll be just like everyone else and your being white won't mean a damn thing in the face of what might as well be literal gods.

>>132415934
I don't understand what you are saying.

In the vast majority of cases (on a person by person basis, not job by job basis) there will be less people in the workforce because of automation when you consider all aspects.

You are correct that in some cases they will, or the job gain on the front side of the automation makes up for the low level job loss, but usually it doesn't.

These people don't get fired then go read a book to try to get a better job. They drop out of the workforce instead or go on welfare or something. It's actually a major problem. I would feel bad for contributing to it, but I'm kind of hoping some kind of purge happens.

The problem is that human labor is approaching worthlessness.

Theoretically you could hire on more workers if you could pay them half as much, but they would all be dirt-poor.

Increased demand for a product or service is gradually becoming unrelated to the need to hire on more American workers.

Companies now either outsource or automate.

>>132415934
>A net loss is possible, but i dont see it, since machines can compensate it.

Are you maybe confusing 'jobs' with 'labor'?

Jobs are positions people are paid for (generally under the idea that they perform some useful labor.)

Labor is a specific amount of valuable/useful work done (either by individual people, by collective groups, or by machines.)

You're still stuck assuming that 'capitalism' or 'economics' simulate anything resembling a post-automation/post-fabrication world. You assume the producer needs to do anything more than control the resources he requires to produce for his own production/consumption needs.

Your mere existence is no longer an opportunity (a market), but now instead a competitor (another possible producer/consumer.) You are no longer a valued customer, you are a threat.

AI maye have no, or greatly different value to 'scientific minds/progress'. It no longer needs to play the gambling game of entertaining 500 lunatics who talk to pigeons in hopes that one of them is the next Tesla.

Instead it may see a much greater value in more controlled, incremental advances as it has the luxury of waiting (with no natural lifespan to impede playing the 'long game'.)

I'm not saying I hate the mentally disabled, I'm just saying that advances like AI or transhuman beings do crazy things to moral obligations and expectations. Human life undergoes re-evaluation.

how are they necessary from your existence when they are at best completely useless and at worst a significant drain on your resources?

yes, but in a way that is even worse for the worker

>>132411151
Government regulation has prevented us from all being on flying cars. AI would have it all sorted quick.

>>132411266
And it's not long until robots are completing surgeries with 99% success rates, making us look retarded

>>132420677
>Government regulation has prevented us from all being on flying cars
it's mostly just physics and cost/benefit

but believe what you want

very good, defeats a common argument (new tech always makes more, better jobs).

>>132412322
Government jobs will never go away

>>132414120
And 99% of the public will see the benefits as far greater to the costs. Shit, I'm a libertarian/Ancap and I would love a self driving car.

What people seem to forget is that as much as it kills low skill jobs, it brings medium skilled jobs down to low skilled job levels.

Before machinery, craftsmen were responsible for the production of shoes, furniture, metal objects, and a plethora of other things. when the technological revolution came about it killed many menial and labor intensive work, but it also made other industries more accessible by the unskilled.

People assume that we are set with a certain number of jobs, and that jobs are cut every time something is automated by a machine. Quite contrary, the automation of a task simply means that resources will be invested in other areas, increasing the quality of life overall.

>What people seem to forget is that as much as it kills low skill jobs
it will also create more unskilled jobs
People will still have maids/butlers because they are status symbols

>>132422386
true, but butlers and maids don't represent the majority of the labour force either. What i'm trying to get across is that industrialization makes otherwise high skilled work brought down to low skill levels. Think FOXCON, where random unskilled chinese are able to work on developing complex (though shit, imo) motherboards that they have no understanding of. Technology brings highly skilled production and allows for low skilled workers to access and produce it given the right infrastructure.

>>132422788
if the price of unskilled labor comes down more people will be able to afford it

>>132417361
Amen. This is how I see it. It will be a rough transition for 50-150 years or so, but then it will be great.

Humans are basically always trying to make menial work easier, or done by animals or machines. Why would you not want automation to take over the worthless jobs (or all current jobs)?

>>132420394
Right? What if everyone could grow food with ai robots in greenhouses and factory meats in their house? What would they really need to trade with others for? Eventually, anything they could want could be produced by robots for (essentially) free.

>>132421034
Ok

Jesus Christ you guys on here acting like the world is ending and we need basic income NOW, gtfo Bernie bois, you sound like the fucking wagon repair men crying that all the jobs are gonna be gone once the automobile is mass produced

>>132422788
Foxcon is a great analogy

>>132418220
Oh, no doubt, my friend. Living is an exercise of struggle, strife, and a series of short lived successes. After his contemplation the cave man will get up and catch a bite to eat.

However, why should future man work if the software and robots will cover it for him?

I would have no problem with automatation, if there will be "made by robots in white country" on stuff. That means robots operated and maintained with decent people with decent wages. Until it all made in China - go fuck yourself with this meme.

>>132424949
If he owns the robots he won't have to

>>132411266
>three year old video talking about how self driving cars are taking over RIGHT NOW
>still not even close to taking over any jobs
okay

>>132425107
Which is why everyone should own robots.

>>132424949
>why should future man work if the software and robots will cover it for him?
you said it, because:
>Living is an exercise of struggle, strife, and a series of short lived successes.
without that, man is not living

Should we carry grain on mule back because trains will cut low skilled caravan jobs? No. When a company invests in a technology that improves production, it allows the company more income to expand creating more jobs. As well, individuals buying their product now have more money in their pocket due to lower prices. Have all of you missed the invention of the cotton gin and the massive population, job, and quality of living boom after the industrial revolution?

>>132426741
This. There won't be some apocalyptic shit with automation, its the Luddite fallacy. There will be with greater technological advancement, more job creation than before. The problem is going to be the short term, the short term being how are people going to get educated to work jobs dealing with programming and data?

hopefully it will replace non-whites and degenerate whites. Going into robotics with a comp sci degree already

Won't happen but still

Lump of labor fallacy, guy.

When mental and cognitive work is taken by machines, there won't be another area to move towards. In the past we could move from physical toil to mental toil. Now, there are no new frontiers for the jobless masses save for personal creativity and enjoying life.

consider the following
YOU HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKE AUTOMATION ILLEGAL
HURRY PEOPLE THERE ISNT MUCH TIME

This means my nuggs will arrive sooner from Wendy's and they will never be touched by a dirty Mexican.
