Hey Wariors - Lets have a discussion about the future.

Interesting video to watch, thx for sharing It will change the way live in ways we can't even imagine right now, but it doesn't have to be bad at all.... in fact I don't really enjoy working 8 hours a day... most of us don't. We should realize that in a world where robots do most of the work the 'money' or riches should be divided in another way then it has been done now (getting paid to do a job).

I see everything remaining as they are for many more years to come. I prefer focusing on the present.

SEO Power, what do you mean: remaining how they are now?

So much has changed in the last 10 years, what makes you think anything will stay the same?!

This video is an example of why social media should be banned.

It'll be a LONG time before the decently intelligent people are replaced.

I may be late in the discussion, but I found this:

By 2025, ‘sexbots will be commonplace’ – which is just fine, as we’ll all be unemployed and bored thanks to robots stealing our jobs | ExtremeTech

They seem like the ones in A.I. wherein Jude Law is a gigolo bot. Would anyone want this kind of future?

The mail is ripe for automation and the postal service employes 626,764 workers. That doesn't include UPS and FedEx.

Walmart is the largest employer in the US -- 99% of those jobs can be automated.

Humans are never Horses... Robots would not replace us and our liberties; they should take our dignity by force from us. Let them work with what their intended purpose: menial and dangerous jobs. Nothing more.

They never said if a bots will replace real people in politics, judges in courts, and CEO's in the corporate world. Will never happen.

That first video was overly simplistic, and just DUMB! For one, the robots that paint cars CAN be taught, and ARE! That has been true for a LONG time, and I am talking several DECADES here! They would have ALREADY replaced many autoworkers jobs LONG ago, but the unions threatened strikes, and the car companies couldn't handle that. THAT is why japan was automated before the US. A robot working at 1/10th the speed is NOT necessarily more cost effective than an employee working at a given speed. A lower output means less business. THAT means more lost business. THAT can kill a company. That music is simplistic, and not artistic. It sounded like a bunch of random notes picked within a certain range. A REAL music writer might use that as a STARTING POINT! AND, the computers in the 60s etc... WERE general purpose. THAT is why they were called computers.

OH YEAH, "smart" cars DO get slow and dumb! Even if it is just because a battery runs down, it gets a bug, is hacked, or has a breakdown. And they are FAR from as perfect as the video implies. Lawyers don't necessarily know what they are looking for, and a computer wouldn't either. They DO consider a pattern, and use computers to assist in finding it. They DO have computers identify some specified patterns. But searching for such things will likely always involve a person. And "bots" DON'T "teach themselves" to do things like trading. There may be "EXPERT SYSTEMS" that trade with a standard on a network that are programmed with criteria they can identify. They can then trade on that. If a given criteria is violated, they can scan other potential patterns, and trade according to one that matches. Expert system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I don't know if that article mentions this, but expert systems work in a small area of expertise. So you may have one that trades, but can do nothing else.

That said, the people that figure that their job won't change, or that computers won't limit work options are probably the same type that figured computers would be a FAD. One thing I point to is how one contract I was on changed a department with 21 workers to one with 4. They did less work, and got more business. It was a simple program, but laws made some work manual, and it will likely remain so for another decade or two, at the current rate. ALSO, there are no standard interfaces, so THAT will likely remain manual for a few decades. Politicians will NEVER vote themselves out of office. They will claim they are NEEDED for the very same reason that they really never were. But they come up with HIGHLY convoluted ideas that mean you need accountants and lawyers. YEAH, accounting programs do accounting well, FOR LAST YEARS NEEDS, but what about NOW?

As for judges? Did we ever REALLY need them in jury trials, etc...? The idea of a jury is SUPPOSED to be to weigh things against a social standard within the law, and try to determine the veracity of what was stated by both sides. THAT is why the constitution says "OF PEERS". This requires things that a computer could NEVER be taught to consider. Oh SURE, you could do that NOW, but the need was MONTHS ago! And such modifications would be never ending. And how do you program such a device to determine the correct answer on its own? How do you have them debate to come up with a consensus that is not contrived? A lawyer and judge must kind of work things back and see a pattern. this pattern is almost NEVER obvious. If it were, the case could be used as a precedent, and the outcome is often a given. If there is a dispute, the judge, or opponent may ask for clarification on the pattern. How would a computer do all that. How could a computer determine what happened, and decide the truth?

All of THAT said, MY job was ONE job! Before I started, it was given a title implying it was 2 jobs. NOW, it is over 6 jobs! MORE PEOPLE! MORE RESTRICTIONS! Things run SLOWER! What USED to be done in a day may now take MONTHS! I am not kidding! I was on a project one time that was delayed over a week because a 1 second operation had to be done by a person that already took off for the holiday! I COULD have done it CORRECTLY in a second, but didn't have rights. HE took over a week to do it INCORRECTLY! I wonder what the next guy thought when he saw the funny names on the table. I used what I was given, even if it WAS DUMB! So things will just move SLOWER!

CEOs start/finance companies, etc... Saying a CEO will be replaced by a robot is like saying they will create a robot to eat all the food. The food is NOT to be consumed, it is to feed the people and animals! The CEO is NOT to be the owner of the company, but to be the one to finance and control it.

BTW they HAVE sex robots! I saw a documentary once where a guy ordered a custom one that looked like his wife. They sat together nude, and you couldn't tell the difference! Apparently for SEX, it is similar Somehow, I think I would prefer the human though. .

They could maybe make a robot that could eat all the food to troll hippies on hunger strike.

As a major technology buff, this is pretty fascinating stuff. But I won't say it's not also pretty scary. I used to do physical labor in a plant that manufactured chassis for Ford F150s. I remember when they got their first machine-run assembly line. Everyone knew we would be out of a job and sure enough, a year later, about 300 of us were unemployed. That was why I began learning web development and marketing. Fortunately today I have a decent job in marketing, but who knows what the future holds. I may need to start learning how to create job-replacement programs like the guys in the video. Then I'd be guaranteed a job!
