mechanization may not but venture capital corporationism might.
Someone will “invent” Uber for plumbers and gardeners and now the trades all work for $4/day while the CEO graciously only accepts a $200,000,000 bonus that year.
Unlike VC “AGI tomorrow, promise” bullshit, mechanization is very old and working concept. Just how many barbers with old razor were replaced with one with hair clipping machine.
I applaud your enthusiasm but stay vigilant, companies opting for AI are we less about “they can do my job better than me” and more just another tool to opress the working class.
I say this as someone who works in the film industry, who’s job right out of college is currently being replaced by AI. Soon much more than you think could be replaced, will be too.
Well, luckily I’m self-employed and I believe that even if there was robots doing the kind of manual labor that I do there would still be enough people left who’d rather hire a human. Time will tell I guess.
You guys are all delusional and lying to yourselves lol, if they sold a roomba that could paint your floors or the upgraded version that allows you to subscribe to paint your walls, all of you fuckers would be posting pictures of the meme’s you’ve plastered all over your house.
I’m telling you why that robot doesn’t exist. They’re insanely expensive, highly specialized, and require regular maintenance no average person would ever care to give.
Believe me I’d love to live in some kind of post-work society given your basic needs are cared for, it’s just equally delusional to think it’s here or coming from military robots.
Because mechanization will.
EDIT: don’t you know difference between automation and mechanization?

Not that capitalism will do ot better, it will just find a way to pay less. And use automation as a scapegoat. “CEO did not rob you, algorithm did”.
I highly doubt that will happen during my lifetime.

Nope. Turns out robots are expensive and break down frequently.
Who said anything about robots? I did not mention them.
A 100k boston dynamic that works from morning until evening without breaks is hell of a lot cheaper than paying a lazy sack of meat 50k year.
But they just said it takes breaks frequently

Well, I sure would. I fix broken robots for a living and prefer it over house painting.
