You simply don't need so many people when you replace humanoid robots with actual robots...
And what's the recompense for the ones who "aren't needed"? "Wish you luck, get out"? They're just supposed to make a not-nearly-enough unemployment check stretch because some shitbag C-suite deemed them unnecessary and/or not worth paying? The seemingly naively-optimistic IFLS angle on robotics is going to only exacerbate the "motherfuckers aren't hiring" crisis we're still living through.
I mean thats what happened when industry 2.0 and 3.0 happened as well. Now we are at 4.0 and need less people and higher skills.
But what I'm saying is what we're living now is unsustainable without HEAVY changes to the way our society operates-- and you seem to just want to exacerbate that already existing crisis, and introduce us to a brand new one. Not all of us-- as a matter of fact, precious few of us-- have the capabilities, either liquid resource or intangible resource-wise, to actually upskill in the West.
Less people less unsustainablity.
How positively monstrous.
No. Im just telling the truth.
yeah you are
