When current amount of automation and efficiency? Yes.

You do understand that Elon musk is full of shit, right? AI isn’t going to take away all jobs within the next year.

We automate the crap out of stuff but without humans, the system is dead within days and that isn’t going to change for decades to come, still.

You can put up your hand to beg but people aren’t going to give you stuff just because you’re too lazy or too naive about the world. Maybe 20 years from now there will be universal income because both automation and AI became good enough to really take away jobs. But until then, get your ass back to work, like everybody else

Hahahahaha. It is so funny the first thing you mention is Musk. He sure looks like Musk:

AI isn’t going to take away all jobs within the next year.

AI is not automation, it doesn’t do a shit.

From the top of my head: steel plant. Just bring whatever needed to automatic loader and ship whatever stuff comes out with occasional taking of samples to check against desired specs.

Secong thing from top of my head: CNCs. They have been around for at least 50 years.

Mechanization is much simpler: just replace an army of street cleaners .

What? Not as eye-catching and you cannot flame in comments about Elon? This is reality, not a wet dream of billionare.

Maybe 20 years from now there will be universal income because both automation and AI became good enough to really take away jobs.

Except if we go into that age without economic reforms made beforehand, then it will become feudalism.

But until then, get your ass back to work, like everybody else

Sorry to disappoint you, but my work gets to me. That’s called remote work.

Oh boy, where to even start…

AI is not automation, it doesn’t do a shit.

AI is a subset of logical systems that can control hardware. You know, fly a plane, bake cookies in a factory, that sort of crap. Computer programming does everything.

From the top of my head: steel plant. Just bring whatever needed to automatic loader and ship whatever stuff comes out with occasional taking of samples to check against desired specs.

Yeah, and drawing a photo realistic horse too is done by drawing a circle and then drawing the rest of the horse. Seriously, “ship whatever stuff comes out”… Do you have any idea what goes on in a steel plant? Do you really think that there is no automation going on there now? Do you really think that a steel plant doesn’t require humans to do what is done right now?

I don’t really know what you are trying to say with the street cleaners? Sometimes loads of cheap people are used because then at least you got peopoe with a paid job?

Except if we go into that age without economic reforms made beforehand, then it will become feudalism.

There you go. Something that sounds remotely reasonable. I don’t worry too much about feudalism. If you want reforms, start with the government (I suppose you are in the US). Get rid of the “winner takes all” elections so that you start having many more political parties that now spread the power and have to cooperate. This gives more political stability. This over time will push to more economic stability as well, more tax on rich, less divide between rich and poor.

Sorry to disappoint you, but my work gets to me. That’s called remote work.

So you don’t “get” behind your computer? Either way, you still work, then.
