Yes. Socialism in terms of a basic income is an inevitability due to automation.
Most people will be pushed into education (that is teaching, but also learning/research as a lifestyle) and creative pursuits. I welcome it.

>>70706030
Not bad.
>>70706114
Yeah, this is going to get automated.
>>70706317

Graphic Design has already been heavily affected by desktop publishing, stock photography, etc.
On a lower level most people can do their own design, but there will always be a need for more sophisticated design people.
In some respects designers are safer than most, many jobs require complicated, tailored solutions that no 'off the shelf' type automation can spit out.
There are a lot of areas in that field that require specific experience/skills
Receiving welfare checks and complaining about the white man while I kill black people to feed my drug habit

I have no misery, this is an actual dream job.
By the time any corporation gets around to doing what I do, I'll already be retired or will be happy to sell out. Besides, I wouldn't say that anything corporate is very popular among my clientele.
Grain Crops and Cattle. You could automate the machines, but not when to use them. You could automate feeding, but not birthing.

Professional agitator
>>70707084
>they don't want to talk to you
Ok you're probably an Intp, you need to realize that the majority of people are extrovert shit heads who also don't have the time or willingness to take the responsibility to buy things themslves, expedite and make sure they get it.
Instead I can show up, they can tell me what they want and then I give it to them. Then if anything goes wrong they can blame me the supplier. Also they can ask me for information answer questions which would require them to research themslves.
People are lazy as fuck, like seeing people and like having a person they can blame.
Yes some introverts get into buying positions and do things online but most businesses do not.
Security guard. Feels good knowing I can't be replaced until AI is perfected along with Humanoid robot bodies.
>>70707278
not really. floors are probably 75% of the job.
Toilets and stocking paper products isn't very difficult or time consuming, and can probably be automated.
medfag so hopefully end up doctor

>>70705680
Retail manager here.
I'm basically the guy who keeps the robots running now.
The fact that I can think of legitimate ways to replace myself electronically means it's definitely in the pipeline. I know my old position will be phased out with a new system that my company wants to develop in 10-15 years.
>>70705680
I design robots to replace people's jobs
>>70705680
Nuclear reactor construction inspector.
Network Engineer. I physically make sure that servers get proper cabling maintenance, make sure that everyone's computers are secure/functioning, and in general make sure that nothing catches fire.
It involves a lot of physically moving around the building and looking at things, as opposed to just sitting at a computer assigning IPs. That's already been taken by a machine (DHCP).
I'm the guy who takes care of the robots.

Although I do not think robots would be of any use inside a fast food as they are looking for versatile people
Your job begins with making burgers to cleaning the walls and ceiling and taking orders from customers
Maybe in ten years though but I doubt it would be cheaper for them to invest into robots
>>70706752
You've been automated for years ;)
I'm a therapist.
I think therapists will be replaced, but good ones like me will last until industrial civilization collapses and no one needs therapists anymore because they're either dead or focused enough on surviving that their lives dont feel empty anymore.
Live television production.
>cameramen replaced with robot cameras
>news anchor controls teleprompter speed
>control room software completely automates everything; opening mics, rolling video, switching cameras, adjusting shots, etc.
Five years ago, a local newscast would have two camera operators, a teleprompter operator, a floor director, floor assistant, a video operator, audio technician, producer, and technical director.
Now it's just a technical director and nothing else. Maybe a floor assistant if it's a highly rated newscast.

Changing lightbulbs/tubes
It would have to deal with locked doors , staircases , alarm systems

No.
Not a camera.
These jobs will exist, but they will go from highly paid positions (relative to qualifications and work) to a job that can be done by a couple of Indians on minimum wage.
There are certain parts of my job that will be replaced completely in 10-15 years (as projected by my own company).

Not him, but janitor is kind of a lot of stuff. You've mentioned a couple but keep in mind you have to do this in Every Single Room. Every Single Night.
Vacuum carpet and remove all stains
Sweep, Mop, Polish Floor
Empty garbages
empty all recycle
Restock all paper products
Remove fingerprints from all glass and shiny objects
remove dust from all flat objects
replace all light bulbs
ect
It's a lot to do, you'd need many, many machines. And they would need to be small, mobile and fast.
>>70707855
You realize this has been automated for a long time, right?
>>70707865
That depends more on the planes you deal with than anything, friend. If you expect to do this many decades from now, that is something to keep in the back of your mind.
Would there reach a point where we just stop automating jobs?
Or would it all be automated like star trek?
How would our society work that way?
>>70707865
Once there are wifi chips on all products this could be automated pretty quickly I would think.
There are entire factories that pull pack and ship without a person touching it.

>>70707693
Mmh well I do get how a retailer could be replaced by a robot but a fast-food employee ?
As I said, it would be quiet a mess to only wash the dishes and machine's parts and then reassemble them
I can't stand this job and it might be because we have to do almost everything inside and outside the restaurant
For instance I remember the one time I had to unclog men's restrooms and run back to the kitchen without washing my hands off to cook a dozen burgers

>>70707732
You always need a human element to take care of the robots somewhere down the road. That's my job. If the robot which oversees the robot which oversees the robot who is in charge of the primary database breaks down, then you've got a potential break in the chain of command which a robot can't work around unless there's some kind of failsafe which requires another robot (or human) to come repair the broken robot, but what if that robot breaks too? Call another repairbot?
Eventually it gets impractical and I think you'll find that on the physical level, it's sometimes more advantageous to have a human that is capable of thinking outside of 0/1 parameters. If something goes wrong on a fundamental level with robotic communication, you're fucked; if something goes wrong with human communication, Joe gets up from his desk and talks to Bob about why the server room is on fire, since the email server is down.

For sure.
Fast Food employees and retail are already being replaced.
Trades next. I.T. after that.
It will be a combination of outsourcing, automation and scientific management.
Fast Food itself is a refinement of these principles that saw cooks and diners reduced in the 50's.
Agriculture will also be getting major, major overhauls.

i'm not saying a computer couldn't make lots of music, i'm saying it couldn't make music people will accept or be emotionally invested in, which means it won't take a musicians job
it would only work for background music nobody cares about anyway, not music that people actually listen to and care about
and imagine the lyrics a computer would write, jesus
>>70708073
Not with how those currently go. A garbage bag is weak and a robot wouldnt know what to do if it was ripped and coffee leaked all over the bin or something. Paper dispensers need a key and you have to channel the paper through 2 plastic wheels to make the cutting mechanism work
>>70707965
Na, no one is entrusting the repair of a $40K guitar to a robot, or indeed the teak inlay in the master cabin of a billionaire's private yacht.
>>70708159
Maybe in a fantasy land. Or in 100 years.
The way it's moving now is towards expensive labor replaced with cheap labor thanks to the assistance of automation.
The idea is to turn Supermarkets into glorified vending machines. There will still be "managers" who will basically maintain, clean and deal with onsite problems. But instead of hiring 100 people, you will be able to staff large establishments with 5-10 unskilled guys.

And anyway I actually do a lot here. Know any cameras that can lock up office buildings and set alarms once workers leave?

I'd love to see a Watson-like supercomputer trained in medicine put to the test on the front line of ED - if ECG interpretations are the best computers can currently do then half the ED floor would end up in the cath-lab with AI in charge. People who think AI can compete with most specialized jobs don't have careers that require dealing with other people.

Specialized jobs won't be replaced by A.I.
They'll be replaced by low paid retards and Panjeets.
They'll use technology to break your role down into easily assisted and performed tasks and then hire untrained, lowly paid people to fulfill those tasks. Medicine will be one of the last fields to go this way, but doctors are already complaining about the time and management guys tinkering in their field. It will happen, but probably not in any time frame you need to worry about.

Robots will replace certain trades. Automation and Taylorism will allow trades to be performed easier and with less experience. A qualified plumber will be replaced by a guy who is Pest Control tier.
Which means it will exist, just earn less money.

Weed is hardly a drug where you can make a lot of money when you do it illegal.
I assume he sells psychedelics.
I call companies to settle payment disputes.
Basically, if you pay your bill and your company says they don't have your shekels.
That would require a great deal of communication that simply won't exist due to mixing financial records. There would be a lot of problems if my job was replaced. My job exists because jobs have already been replaced.
I only make 12 an hour though.

Yeah sorry I was a vague, it's going to get even more demand than there is now, and that is saying something, since most health service facilities already seem to be operating at maximum capacity and constantly growing with no foreseeable end in sight.

I can't either but I can operate the mini-cranes that can. It's physically impossible for anything shaped like a humanoid to lift those people.

In order to work advance maintenance that includes troubleshooting, complex rewiring with various measurements taken along the way, correct part retrieval, part installation, final assembly and testing to make sure everything is up to spec- you would essentially need to engineer a robot that poseses or surpasses human's mobility and cognitive abilities. Cmon anon we are nowhere near close to that

Because watching bots isn't going to run a store, even if it's automated and staffed by bots.
We already HAVE bots for registers. You still need a manual operator and customer assistance. What the bots allow is that one person to operate 6-8 registers at once.
So you have effectively replaced six roles with 1 person.
The next big overhaul is remote payroll which will allow 1 employee to oversee a region of say, 15-20 stores.
After that is digital ticketing, which replaces 5-6 people with one person to place it and run it for the day.
We are also working on automated banking. Rather than having individual count and bank daily cash earnings and the other operations that go with it, you can have that entirely automated, with minimum intervention by a manager, rather than, again, 5-10 people.
You won't eliminate humans from stores (in our lifetimes), what you do is drastically reduce the number of humans and more importantly reduce the knowledge requirements, so that many tasks can be performed by inexperienced and untrained (therefore lowly paid) individuals.
Right now the cost of building these systems is more expensive than the cost of human labor. So they're taking a long time to introduce them. But they will come eventually.

Again, robots and technology don't eliminate a human element for the most part. They simply make it easier and more efficient (and therefore devalue the labor).
Automation and Fordism didn't remove humans from car manufacturing. It just meant a previously highly skilled craft could be performed by dummies for low pay.
Every trade has already seen the advancement of tools to make it easier and less exclusive. You will just see further advancements of that.

someone want to tell this guy what a vending machine is, or the internet? You know what, here...
>>70708425
By that logic, why isn't everybody living in efficient commieblocks filled with dirt cheap chink shit already?
As for trades and especially manufacturing, it turns out that human workers aren't so worthless after all because they can adapt to changes (custom designs for example) much more easily than fully robotic production lines, so ultimately they are less expensive - especially when you only pay them 100 bucks per month.

I used to be a pharmacy technician at CVS when we got the automated prescription filling machines that were supposed to put us out of a job.
We ended up having to hire MORE technicians because the thing broke down so often that we basically had to have 2 people babysit the machine while the rest of the technicians did the regular technician roles.
Automation isn't nearly as advanced as we think it is. We can't even reliably get robots to do "big bottle --> little bottle".

You'll be replaced in 15-20 years.
Counsellor, can be replaced by diet and exercise.
>>70709158
>>70709342
and you think you need a human to restock it in 10 years?
>>70709342
We already have vending machines.
You also realize a physical human stocks, empties and cleans those right?
Like I said, you clearly haven't left your bedroom, or watch a lot of anime.
What you're talking about is advancements that will occur in like 50 years. When we'll all be dead anyway. So who cares.
>>70709342
technically there is no need for a human beeing to work in a foodstore or any other shop. Why do we still have them then ?
>>70709320
Did you read my post? It's not an assembly line what I'm talking about. You can't program a robot to perform incredibly complicated tasks that is involved in advanced maintenance which includes all the things I mentioned in my first post. Once we have robots capable of doing what I'm doing then human labor will become obsolete
Weed man, Never.

Literally graphic design has already been replaced by software. Anyone with a few templates, clip art, a day's experience in Photoshop, and a 15 minute understanding of basic principles of visual design can do your job.

>>We already HAVE bots for registers. You still need a manual operator and customer assistance.
you mean a cash register? Not a bot. You're about 1/4 abo ain't you?

>Can barely pick up a box
Yes. By the time this is a reality I'll be dead or on social security, so it's not my problem.
Just one of those robots costs more to operate than a legion of Panjeets working for 10 bucks an hour.

Lol i don't know why I asked the janitor a rhetorical question. He actually answered it.
Dude, those problems can definitely be fixed. Stronger bags. The robots can have keys. Do you not understand that a well-trained monkey could do most of those tasks?

We have another call center in the Philippines and when someone gets me instead the first thing they say is OH THANK GOD WE GOT AN AMERICAN, so I don't think a robot could replace me. We already have the usual greeting that tells them the most common shit to do.

But then how would they satisfy their gender quota? They gotta make up useless jobs to dump the women on so they don't get sued.

Everydecade all trades are devalued because of tool advancement.
Your labor won't become obsolete. It will become easier and cheaper.

lol you don't think door locks can be automated? they're all automated at my office. there's one person watching cameras, and that could also be automated.
What else do you do besides watch cameras?
Seriously, what else do you do? "Just being a deterrence" doesn't count. That's not an actual job.

Anyone have any idea what the next step is once 50% of the population is completely unemployable in any manner because robot labor has been standardized for a large number of tasks? Like, are there suggestions of what to do with that kind of economy or anything I should be reading?

Tech support is 90% replaced by automatic software and the Internet
Unless you're an enthusiast like me, you usually don't have many problems that go outside of automatic repair software and whatnot.

The ironic thing is that you were replaced by robots before your job even existed

Yeah but my job is talking to idiots and old people who can't get a grip on new technology. In fact, 80% of the people that call in are 40+y/o. The younger ones call in to bitch about their shitty service because we're not google fiber and then I hang up them to make them wait another hour. Roasties and normies btfo.
