A human wouldn't let a guy with a hockey stick push him around like that...
Good, robots don't bitch.
Tinker approves.
>>25451
neither will the robots when they are finished.

I can't wait to see a robot ethics group rise up at some point and try to argue against the robots because money.

Cinematic masterpiece!

Universal dignity and end of wealth inequality when?
>>25467
>Implying the patent holders, Robotic engineers, and those people already rich enough to replace their workforce witb robots won't continue to make far more wealth than everyone else.
>end work as we know it
lmao. Just like the last 200 years before. It never ceases to amaze me that people still fall into the luddism meme.
>>25469
>Implying wealth is an end in itself not the means of human happiness and enrichment.

It's different because we're going to remove flesh and blood from ALL basic delivery & shipment jobs. We'll live to see a time when you no longer will meet anybody depending on what kind of job you have. That's not true of any job we have now-a-days. That's not true of anything but now things have changed.
>>25446
seriously stop it with the memes we need to move past captialism as soon as we can this tech is going to come quick and their will be alot of people hurting because of it

Viva la Robolution.

We'll still need people to maintain the machines. I wouldn't start worrying yet.

Robotic manufacturers would be stupid to sell robots. They'd be giving away free labor and lost money opportunities. Lease that shit out.

Naw we got robots for that.

So you're saying that every other race doesn't work? Good Job. I bet you think next election is also going to matter to anyone too.
>>25465
I don't think people realise it, but this will be the industrial revolution all over again, but even in a greater scale. People will start burning robots just like Englishmen did with early machinery
>>25471
well, work as it was known 200 years ago did end for a large part of the population. A very large part of the globe don't wash their clothes by hand and have vaccum cleaners.
Nobody is saying people aren't going to work.
And if it doesn''t convince you, think in terms of transportation: For the most part, it used to be blood-powered, now in any decent country you've got trains, metro, airplanes, and cargo ships. Now you can even make that operated by AI, and make them take care of post offices and such.
>>25510
People who use the wording "X will end Y as we know it" are usually afraid of losing Y or are fearful of the unknown X.

We are going to have to embrace the future at some point. Leave manual tasks to the robots and let humanity strengthen its gene pool and launch the renaissance of human arts and development. Hopefully the arena gets brought back too.
>>25512
yep. Overpopulation is humanity's greatest problem, and it will be never properly adressed. Until the arena of course
>>25514
Bruh just keep it at 2. The death rates will balance the birthrates. The only problem would be having a stable reliable resource. It's shit like this that need to come sooner.
>>25514
>Overpopulation is humanity's greatest problem
That's a problem for africans,chinese and indians,not humanity.
>>25518
and Japan, the middle east, Mexico, Brazil, etc
overpopulation not being a problem is the exception in human societies, because, of course, most people live in an overpopulated hell.
Also, Europeans are better off, but they'd be much better if they weren't so crowded.
Outlandish sensationalism. Robots are good at a narrow range of prescribed tasks involving repetition and predictability carried out in a controlled environment. Expect them to take over assembly line work and food preparation. There are many other manual labor jobs frequently requiring the ability to deal with unforeseen circumstances in unpredictable environments that robots will never do unless and until actual artificial sentience is developed, at which point you are faced with the issue of owning slaves.
>>25525
Europeans have a problem with too many fucking niggers and ragheads,gypsies not with themselves.
Take those out and 80% of all problems fix themselves.
>>25543
>repetition and predictability carried out in a controlled environment
you might be understimating how much work can be saved just by cutting that part.
Lots of manual job are simple hand-eye coordination, and the only reason a human does it is because it's not trivial to identify what part of the pig is bone or meat, so you can position it under an automatic knife.
Lots of these jobs can be done by robots:

Well generally it seems that the more people make the more proportional to their income they save, so when is the end for the wealth in the accumulation?
Human desire is always unbounded, we'll never be in post scarcity. Thus there should be something for humans to do.
>>25448
>the part where he knocks it over around 2:00
>ha
>it pops back up
>>25670
The purpose of all wealth increases is to enable smarter decisions at future crises. When winter comes, I will have my nuts and not stare. When I am old and infirm, I will have my social security and or my private fortune.
The day when those crises are already anticipated and handled in advance, the need for additional wealth and insurance will end in proportion to how successful and reliable the solution is.
Robots of this kind ensure that manual labour is now more fungible than it was. You can get intelligent autonomous labour by more ways than just renting a human. The price therefore of manual labour will fall to bottom out around the cost of buying and maintaining a robot; give or take economies of scale (presuming the robot is or will be cheaper than the human). But even that is short term thinking.
Then end of wealth is to strip all crises of their power. That end, however far away predicts the end of wealth accumulation as it will no longer confer an advantage in survival.
>>25728
Desire is not the same as survival.
Wants are not the same as needs.
The causes of scarcity can perish.
Smallpox created a need for medicine, that need is now extinct along with the disease that caused the scarcity.
Shit created a scarcity of street shovellers, we got flush toilets in 1920 and they are now extinct.
Work created a scarcity of labour, we are making robots now.
Death is a disease, creating a scarcity of life. I promise you one day it won't be.
The trend doesn't seem to be going backwards because knowledge once earned from the universe does not get used up when more people learn about it.
>>25748
This guy gets it.
We adapt pretty quickly. Just think how quickly smartphones were adapted by the majority. Even employers adjusted to the slight loss in productivity in individuals to increase the network of the whole.
Then think about how cellphones were adapted to the workplace before they were marketed commercially.
I look forward to my personal robot.
Keep the AI off board however.

There was a British intellectual who said that Great Britain was overpopulated. The population of the entire island at the time was less than the current population of the London metropolitan area.
>robots lower the cost of production
>cost of products falls accordingly
>now easier to be a poor person
thank you based robots
>>25886
>cost of products falls accordingly
You're retarded if you think companies will pass the savings onto the consumer.
>>25919
It doesn't work the way Anon said so it doesn't matter.

>implying anything can create post-scarcity
I despise people like you, who coast through life learning the bare minimum then spouting bullshit like this.
I really do want the robots to replace you, but I know it won't happen as easily as you people claim.
wnt to fuck one
>>25469
the money would meaningless and worthless.
Robots don't buy stuff.
