Someday you won't even have to pay for a home, it'll just be built for you from materials owned by the state and construction machines that don't require wages. The future future where socialism has happened and money is practically obsolete will be a great place, however the nearer future where we are still transitioning to that state and trying to balance the automation with the fact we still have and need economies will be very messy and lots of people will get very hurt. I'm just thankful I don't live in the US as the transition there will be atrocious seeing as they've spent a century indoctrinating their population into believing socialism is evil.

Imagine a system, which more insidious than slavery itself, where humans aren't even needed anymore. And I don't see private MNC's giving their stolen wealth to pay for a basic income when they no longer can justify their existence.

[@jusayenso8186]

Diogo....Texting drastically limits my ability to explain why I noticed red flags years ahead of more obvious signs that the entire system was designed for supply and demand to always favor the rich and powerful. I thought it was a big red flag twenty years ago, that people could procreate as much as they want, and also get to use excessive dependants as tax write offs. Imagine all the benefits if there was a real demand for even many educated people. It's a constantly hidden fact that too many skilled and experienced people have to apply for many months just to get one decent (or poor quality and underpaid) job offer. This is supposed to mean "see!....you can always get a job if you have a skill"...one lousy job offer takes people off the already flawed "unemployment statistics"? Stats are so easily abused to fool the majority of society. The media could have easily added weekly factual reports about the effects from clueless naive parent(s) many basic huge mistakes made raising children. If millions of these unqualified parents knew all the real 'cause and effect' truths, repeated weekly by the media, it would have easily woke them up about the longshot odds for their "playtoy bundles of joy" to never be truly well rounded, productive and happy enough adults. Where are so many of them now?...In low paying jobs that benefit big business's bottom line profits. Then these same people are even naive enough to have kids too. Stupid is as stupid does. The media is purposely neglecting many ways to use their ability to educate. The ripple effect of proper "news" is just one way society could have benefitted in many ways. They constantly report useless junk news every day too. Obviously, this isn't by accident. Their executives aren't stupid! This is just one reason why so much of society truly is stupid, and that's not just my "opinion". I have purposely done endless direct short interactions with thousands of people. It's truly amazing to consistently hear how they can't even process an objective thought on anything. But they are being hired all the time because they can be abused for profit. Yes, I have very carefully observed every detail about them as I interact with them. Many have the same intellect as a twelve year old and even have more bad traits due to years of downward spiraling wrong conclusions about even basic things. Naturally, the "news" never really covers those details either. These idiots are now handling food in sit down restaurants and fast food places everywhere. Food poisoning cases are so underreported too. This is just one of many of the negative ripple effects when twelve year old mentality people are exploited and hired on purpose!

So of course they don't seem to worry about losing their high paid job unlike the rest of us poor saps who have not got a Dr or Professor IQ.

"Computers make excellent servants, But I don't wish to severe under them?" Lots of people need work to keep their health and fitness and mental health going, nothing to do because a damn AI robot has taken the job of you!

[@nekroneko]

Dov Struzer sounds like the sort of person who will be one of the first to need this kind of help if his spelling and grammar is anything to go by. It's not that people won't work, it's because they can't work as the job they could've taken will be done by AI/robot. As technology improves (as it inevitably will) more and more jobs thought safe will be done until almost everything can be done better, faster, safer and cheaper for potential employers. Think of it this way. If an employer has 10 job vacancies, they can hire 10 people of varying skill levels and backgrounds and must consider holiday entitlements, sick pay and training among other things. This can require a lengthy interview process to find the right employees. Now instead of finding 10 workers you have AI/robots replace them. They never need a holiday, sick days or training. Any malfunctions would require an engineer/mechanic (which may also be automated at some point), and any new skills needed for the AI would require a quick software update. No interviews are needed, you just buy the AI/robot that fits your needs and it's pretty much away you go. UBI isn't so people can remain unemployed, it's there mainly so the wheels of capitalism can keep turning when otherwise those products made by industry and companies don't keep sitting there on a shelf not being purchased. So buckle up buttercup, things are going to get messy in the next couple of decades.

I think at first there will be a few robots, then we will get to a point where the number of people unemployed will be far greater then the number of jobs available, at this point people will start looking for other ways of earning money and sustaining themselves like art or online entertainment or fishing and hunting, or making things but i expect more people will turn to crime, stealing and selling drugs, running illegal fights or gambling, universal credit might keep some people happy to beging with, but in the end people are going to want MORE, greed is what drives alot of people, and lets face it, EVERY job will be lost to robots and AI sooner or later, and what then?....

Now you build maintenance bots that can repair the car builders and other maintenance bots. Now you just need 2 humans to monitor them all. Now you make AI that can monitor the bots better than humans... 24/7. Sure you have to keep feeding materials into the factory, but again, you can automate that, self driving trucks bring the materials in to unloading robots. Sure you need a couple people to monitor this, but all the human unloaders and truck drivers are gone. Then all the monitoring jobs are automated with artificial intelligence. Its far more accurate than people, and runs 24 hours a day for free. its a gradual process of replacing humans with machines, it brings production costs down to super cheap prices, increasing profit margins.

I'm probably going to get shot down for my outrageous opinion but here goes anyway. You might have the right to a free education (to a point), the right to feel safe in your own home, the right to remain silent and free legal representation but you do not have the right to a job. If that was the case there would be no need for Job Centres or unemployment benefit. If we have the right to a job, I want to be an astronaut or a Formula 1 driver. Automation is going to happen one way or another, people will have to retrain, young people will have to think about the choices they make at school and university. Lighting a fire and waving a placard might get you a temporary reprieve but when the smoke dies down your jobs will come to an end. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
