Depopulation. Widespread suffering. You're about to see a significant culling of those on the lower end of the bell-curve.

True, don't forget they also want an inter mixed slave race with no past culture.
And they will give this mutt race a state mandated religion, and keep them eating diet and performing the same prayers and rituals which will get all the people to think the same and be controllable.
I think their new religion will be about worshiping the families of the elites, maybe a figurehead.
And also don't forget there will be a lolice state agency class, that live above everyone else and control/do the dirty work for the elites like heartless robots.
Basic income?
Not happening. It's making private society too dependent of the state. If the state fails one single time, everyone fails.
You can't make this kind of dependencies, it makes the system less resilient.
What is needed is a good social security where you get money in case you lose your job.

when iw as at subway, id make the sandwiches look amazing. so muhc so, people would compliment it.
the problem was, according to corporate, the order i was doing it, threw off the taste profile, leading the less tasty sandwiches, because certain ingredients didnt come into contact. i was told to follow orders, and assemble the sandwiches in the prescribed order. i didnt follow because i was young and liked making pretty things, but whatev.
years later, after getting a better job way back, i go to my universities subway. not the same one i worked at. just some ordinary ass subway.
the entire line of workers is black. theyve been working there since i started school, and 4 years down the line, theyre still working there.
the sandwiches are complete and utter shit. i swear, almost every time i got one, id have to eat it like a taco to prevent all the shit from falling out and not getting caked in the asinine amount f sauce theyd put in it.
theyd provide rude ass service, slap together a sandwich, and mouth off to eahcother the entire time while they spit out "watchyu want" and pretend to assemble a sandwich.
if robots can make it as easy as not having to talk to someone, picking what i want without having to worry that theyre either out, or that the baffoon behind the line thinks giving me brown tomatoes is acceptable, then i fuckign welcome it.
if the quality of a sandwich can be determined by a pre-programmed specification of ingredients, in an order, coming into contact with certain other ingredients, and a specified amount of condiments, but relies strictly on the assembling skill of the worker involved, then fuck yes, please outsource this shit to the bots.
maybe then prices will go down too.

Basic income will be the most natural outcome. How in the world can businesses sell anyhting to anyone when no one can afford them? They themselves will be the vanguard of promoting basic income. Or they will expect a decrease in their high standard of living.

im imagine in an automated future, most products to be a fraction of what they cost now, simply because labor costs will be a single sunk costs, with maybe 5 years of operational time.
the variable costs of hiring an dmaintaining workers is what keeps prices where they are now, but in a future where these become a fixed cost, comparable to a half-decade rent payment, then prices will be dirt cheap, and sold by the millions.
im thinking we may see a return to peddling crafted goods and rarities. even something so small as a whistle could be crafted from wood, sold to someone on the cheap, and itd be enough to feed them commercialized food products for a week, if not longer.
people will be a lot lazier though, and probably more prone to stirring up shit since they wont be exhausted from working an 8 hour workday
could also see small time robbery spiking. the older generations will no doubt lash out at companies that hire robots.
some areas will function without robotic assembly, operating on human labor, but these areas will probably be for the fancy rich, with specially catered goods, that utilize the adaptability of a human laborer.
dinner and a show for example is much more impressive when its a person behind the grill, rather than a robot.

compare starbucks to dunkin donuts. DD coffee fags want their coffeee and tthey want it fast. but if you go to a starbucks, youre mostly in it for the atmosphere, plus the coffee. so DD will probably succumb to the bots, while starbucks will most definitely keep its people, though some elements may go to the bots. a cashier and barista is important, but a dish washer is not.

Automation WILL create new jobs the problem is the amount of new jobs it will create, the job security this new jobs will create and what type of people will be able to perform them.
Personally I think that a Universal Basic Income future is unavoidable, mostly because the new job creation by the automation will never be enough to employ the people displaced by it and not all those people will be able to pursue the education to fill the newly available positions.
History in this case is not much of a help with the data because in the previous industrial revolutions the displaced workers always had a new position to take. From Agriculture to Manufacture to Service in different degrees and times but that is usually the transition of the low skill labor, now with Automation finally reaching the services industries then it is a death end for those people unless they either start working for the government or they get pay for being alive.
>>75551995
This exactly, upscale restaurants and even places like Olive Garden may have human workers still. If I go to a gas station or a McDicks though I'm only there for the quick service and food, fuck the atmosphere

>What will happen to all the drivers and cashiers that will be unemployed?
I drive for a living. If automation replaces me, i will be official laid off, not fired. This means i will qualify for employment insurance. I will gladly take it for the 6 - 12 months it is offered. During this time i will train for a new job, most likely for free via e.i. benefits.
Personally i am thinking I.T. Once i finish my 6 month I.T. course that the government pays for me to take while giving me e.i. checks to live off of, i will apply for I.T. jobs. I will be willing to take slightly less than what current I.T. people are making and get a job fairly easy.
The person who is working the I.T. job right now that i plan to take is who has the real problem. Best case scenario for them is a paycut to compete against the flood of ex drivers aiming for their job.
>>75552325

I was having this conversation with a buddy of mine studying econometrics the other day.
The service industry isn't likely the first to be hit. Cashiers, fry cooks, and cab drivers can be replaced. But they need to be replaced by hardware, by a machine that performs that same task. The first industry is mid level, college required careers. Accountants can be replaced with an algorithm. Hell, look at the travel industry, you don't call your agent anymore, you just click your hotel and you've got a vacation.
After these jobs comes service industry. Drivers, janitors, even high end chefs can be replaced. Now you've got a shitload of dead weight individuals in an economy with a growing gdp (work is still being done). At this point you can either subsidize the populations that are out of work by paying companies to hire them, you can subsidize them with welfare to not work, or the money just goes straight to the haves. The last one would make it so that no one has money to use these services, making it arbitrary to even have them.
We could also see money be removed all together.

the bread gets really soft and moving it is a real pain in the ass. the trick was to hold the paper under the sandwich correctly, but even then, when you roll it up, its the floppiest sandwich on the menu, and will most definitely get fucked up in the car, or walkign down the street. if you can get them to use an older piece of bread, it generally solves the structural issue.

the past few times ive gone to olive garden, theyd introduced kiosks. the last time i went was with a group of maybe 12, so we had a human server, but prior to that was me and a friend. we ordered through the kiosk, since no waiter/server came after delivering water, and strangers came out to bring us our food. we paid without having to interact with anyone, but we did have one face that consistently checked to make sure our drinks and food were good.
last i heard, olive garden was forced to cut costs a few years back, but the results are less than stellar. i beleiev their employees are paid the same way as 711 employees. they recieve a card, with their pay charged to it. transactions liek rent, or atms all come with fees, along with utility payments, etc.
always tip in cash.

Into a world where the market gets flooded with cheap products.
They will either get an education that allows them to get employed or get welfare, most likely the latter. Yay socialism...
No. There's no such thing as free stuff, people will have to pay a tax to facilitate this. In essence, it's redistribution of income and that has NEVER worked. Never will.
Personally I'd rather see a negative income tax than basic income. Taxless and practically stateless society even more, I've got a bit of a free market fancy, but from where we are today a negative income tax would incentivise people to get off their ass and stop leeching everyone else.

I am studying computer science and automation and further modifications at our lifetime processes WILL end our species somehow.
All you /pol/ people think about certain doomsdays and such while the end of our species is nearing by our own succes.
Think about this:
A mammal is genetically capitalistic, so are we.
We need to be driven to keep our species
driven. Strengthen, reproduce etc.
Our work is being given away.. A human
being is driven by beneficial purposes, it is what
keeps our economy driven, and keep us
strengthen our species.
Now: if we are able to retrieve all needs by
robots (who do not know the purpose of
beneficial effort) we will be 'enbored' by not
having to do these certain efforts any longer.
Combine this by being able to find our genetic
code to estimate our IQ and the future will
sooner or later exist out of an enbored species
who have all reached equality, where no effort
needs to be done any longer. Of course, this is after the challenge of exploring space.
We already ask ourselves the question of life,
this will increase when we have nothing to do
any longer, along with the intelligence to solve
our questions to the limit that our species have.

IT isn't that easy and the easy jobs are also being automated. For example I work at IBM as a server administrator in there we have a system that basically scans the network of a client looking for issues before the client is even aware of it and send us an alert to check it depending on the severity and impact on production/revenue of said issue.
Well now people are developing basically AI, that will not just scans for issue but use the most common solutions before sending the alert to us, that alone will kill 30 to 40% of the people currently working on server administration side of IBM that usually work on those alerts alone.
For what I gather even the people making the AI isn't fully save in the new automation world where people are basically creating AI that will create dumber AI to replace human workers, shit is uncanny.
>>75550642
Well but what if the Automatisation of jobs is faster than the creating of new jobs.
So more people are laid off than there are hired. This would increase unemployment. Will they solve this by massively investing in Hard labour, campaiging against automatisation to safe jobs ( Will not work, might buy some time but wont work in the long run) Or will they decrease the ammount of hours in a labour week, so from 40 to 30, so that everyone still has a job?

You never went into a third world country to say that, just take a look at cities like the Cairo, Abidjan or Kinshasa and then at the whole African continent.
How do you think dictators controls people in Africa ?
And the NWO will not be your average african dictator, they will have a powerful propaganda system with medias 100% controlled.
The government/corporations will have militias with the US technology of 2070-2100 too.
Maybe people will revolt but they will be broken and submitted, that's the problem with a global government, unless you program a worldwide revolution you will fail.
But I don't even think they will revolt, just look at the niggers in the ghettos, their life is shit but if they can pay their KFC, consume drug, fuck and have access to entertainment they are happy.
Most people in the world have very low standard of living, we don't because we either know or experienced the post WW2 miracle but we are less and less.

I drive a 28 gear 5 ton truck through rush hour traffic. I.T. is definitely a step down in the skill requirement.

I am not looking down on you or your job m8, I am saying that the "easy" IT jobs are also on the verge of automation, perhaps the only low level skill (talking from an IT pov) is going to be "hands and eyes" in certain datacenters or big companies that need local "help desks".
IT in general is either focusing on automation or providing services and the services provided are also on the chopping block for automation in the near future, I would rethink your escape plan mostly because you will only gain 10 years at most before you get automated again.
Need for manual labour will diminish greatly, so people will have to turn to prostitution and other services instead. And entertainment in all its forms.
>>75553215
Not really. The idea behind negative income tax is that you ensure people won't be left behind ala socialism without trapping people in the system. It doesn't require a massive bureaucracy that has to verify whether someone is eligible, everybody gets it. On top of that, because it's a simple tax system you can let a computer take care of the whole thing.
Imagine that everyone can earn $3000 tax free, for every penny above it you pay tax but not below it.
Let's say you earn $1500. There will be a $1500 deficit.
Now we're going to tax that at -50%, meaning you get half the difference.
Half of $1500 is $750 so you add $750 to the $1500 that you earn with your hard labour, and your total monthly income will be $2250.
If you don't have a job, it will be $1500.
If you earn $2500, it will be $2750.
That's negative income tax.
Basic income, in my opinion, would not help. Instead of allowing people to participate in the economy, you would raise the lowest common denominator.
Today,that denominator is $0. With basic income, it would be whatever the amount is that people receive, probably $1200.
It still wouldn't incentivise people to improve their financial situation any more than existing social services do.
Coincidentally, people having more free time to pursue their dreams is the biggest argument in favour of basic income. With that kicked out of the field, there isn't much left.
>>75549461
This could force a migration from the bottom of the barrel to semi-skilled labor, provided the appropriate conditions exist:
1. power and communications support grids upgraded
2. abolish unemployment encouragement
3. replace with apprenticeships and small business opportunity
...all in a phased manner, of course.
Bottom line is that government has to cease the unemployment plantations for votes model, IMO.
Im more concerned about technologies that could lead to a completely automated military force, where the human factor has essentially been taken out of the equation. In that world, for a leader to wage war, ithey wouldnt need to appeal to the masses sense of justice or the public self interests inorder to rally up the troops, instead they could just press a button and their robot armies would do what they wished. No more will politicians care about the public opinions regarding military action. And it would be easier for authoritarian regimes to flourish in such times and their reigns could last for a thousamd years.

However, to do that now, they need cops, soldiers etc... people who are "just like us". How much could the elites really get them to do before they turn on them as well, before those cops and soldiers say "enough" and join the masses.
>However, if it is simply a matter of wealth, and now I can have an army of drones and robots who will do what I want no matter what, that is a very scary thing. Now the 0.1% of the population can, perhaps, thoroughly dominate the other 99.9% of the population because they have the means to apply the force, and that force will not resist, ever.
