Hourly Workers had better start thinking differently

Between automation and WFH, life and work will be very different in 20 years.

Don't think Belichick hasn't though about that already.

Lol yup. Of course Mark Rober's already on it:

I figure that once people are done writing AI software and it's fully functional and we've built the first round of factories that make robots we're fucked. At that point the bots will design themselves and build themselves. We won't be necessary anymore.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 03-29-2021, 09:56 AM

yeah, we've all seen the movie.

**leroy jenkins** · 03-29-2021, 10:05 AM

I'm less afraid of AI taking over, although on a long enough timeline that could totally happen, than I am of them just putting guns on them and replacing police as less and less people want to be cops due to worsening job description and lack of qualified immunity etc.

Imagine a (robot) boot on a human face forever. Actually seems easier to imagine than a human wearing that boot.

Not likely--they're trans.

Sounds like it's mainly Amazon workers that will going the way of ditch diggers, weavers, stable boys, etc etc.

Yeah, we've seen that movie too.

Nobody didn't become a cop due to lack of qualified immunity, come on. And if they did, it means they were a full-fledged psychopath.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Space aliens will arrive before robots take over. I'm sure everyone's seen that movie too.

**dunfree** · 03-29-2021, 12:37 PM

Bots arguing with each other again.

Yea, your point is valid, I'm not against ending qualified immunity or something. Everyone is looking for a between the lines in everything you say these days it gets old. I think my point is still valid.

Being a cop is already a hard gig. Harder if you give a shit and aren't a POS excuse for a human in a lot of places, but fine, just imagine slightly understaffed but overfunded police forces supplementing their officers with these armed bots. Highly possible if we face some budget crises and a rise in crime.

They have those by us and they work pretty flawlessly.

We just deployed a test run of software that will automate about 50% of the work my accountants do manually right now...

I wonder when chicks and dudes will just fuck robots instead of going to Tinder.

See if they dont become "self aware" the bots would just do what they are programmed to do, and that likely would lead to a lot less brutality. I mean what was Robocops directive?
