In the next 2 decades, self driving cars will replace millions of human drivers, checkouts at supermarkets will not require humans, WalMarts and McDs will be robotized, stores won't need humans, farms will be run by machines only etc.

Only a fraction of people are smart enough to do jobs that can't be robotized away. As a result, we are already facing the beginning of mass unemployment as a result of robotization. This will intensify over the next decades.

How will capitalism survive amid societies full of unemployed and a handful of rich people?

The only thing that can entirely end capitalism is mass automation, energy so cheap and plentiful that it is effectively free, and something akin to replicators from Star Trek. If even one of those is missing you leave room for some form of capitalism to continue existing.

It is not a question of being lazy. It is a question of being stupid and/or unskilled.

>>
>>71452673

I disagree. We don't need replicators unless we're somewhere that does not have physical resources. We're able to support out population's with relative ease now and the level to which we waste and are inefficient is obscene. With far more efficient robots working 24/7, that don't have to take the time to learn new skills, that don't have a risk of injury, serious or otherwise and don't stop working, don't complain, don't slow down, don't strike. Imagine that ina system that creates new ones at an increasing pace. The truth of the matter is a post-scarcity system isn't difficult. Of course there will be some resources that will be limited and there will always be some form of capital. But many resources, food, construction materials, etc, will be limitless, perhaps even in our lifetimes. We don't need no replicators.

it has started decades ago. Only 10% of American GDP is from manufacturing and farming today. The vast majority of people are not employed in making goods or food.

Energy prices are already tanking everywhere. Robotization is playing a key role in reducing energy prices further and furhter.

> and something akin to replicators from Star Trek.
Guess how many Americans work full time in agriculture, i.e. producing crops, raising lifestock and catching fish? Yes, less than 0.2%. We basically already have "replicators", they are claled machines and they produce food by growing it.

Rubbish. All truck drivers, all taxi drivers, couriers, planes, boats, etc will be rendered automated. Will there be shitstains that will drive cars themselves? Yes, without a doubt. But that doesn't have any effect on the economic matters that he was referring to. It is no pipe dream, just a barely over the horizon reality.

>>71453123

You see the problem with that thinking is simple: the idea that there are non-creative thinking jobs that cannot be done cheaper and better by computers. The % of the population that is in easily automated services, industry and food production is too high. There is no reaosn to assume that the free market will replace hundreds of millions of soon to be redundant jobs that fast. In the meantime thousands will be jobless and restless and your system will be either removed or changed so much as to be unrecognizable.

What I mean is that until we have something like Replicators, capitalism can more or less continue to exist in a world where the vast majority of human labor is worthless. People will have products to sell, and people will want to buy them.

Throw Replicators into the mix though, and its game over for capitalism. Nothing has any value anymore, you can just print out a fully functional copy of anything you could possibly desire at effectively zero cost.

I very much doubt any country still does that. Germany certainly doesn't employ millions of retards to clean streets or the environment. And for specialized manufacturing, we use robots these days and to a smaller extent highly specialized workers running computers. One of the big problems of the migrant crisis in Germany is that even after 10 years of training and German lessons, a lot of Afghans and Africans will not be able to do a skilled manufacturing job. They are just too damn stupid.

Highly doubtful. One pilot will always be in the aircraft as long as planes are networked. You just need 1 hacker to infiltrate the system and down dozens of airplanes into buildings. You will just have one human who knows how to fly probably working as a flight attendant and can take over if a breach happens though.

Nigga what the fuck has Greece got to do with this?

The people replaced by robots will get a new job or go on welfare.

Nobody here seems to understand what 'capitalism' is. It's not a system of government or a choice of society. It's the natural order of things.
Humans naturally seek to amass wealth/capital, which they can then use to improve whatever they deem worthy.

If robots do everything, that capital might not be money as we use it know, it might be of artistic nature, it could be likes or upvotes or whatever.
It will still be capitalism because humans are a capitalistic species.
>>
>>71454404

50% for pilots. I don't see robots taking over service jobs like Flight Attendants any time in the near future. Maintenance could be hit hard but that would take a while as well. I still think you will have one human doing safety checks and sign offs.

>>71454483

Reread what I wrote. If they are pilotless they are receiving new course and weather information from ATC. So they are networked. If a hacker gets into the network and gives wrong orders he could essentially take control of several aircraft. Also the a lot of systems are not 100% reliable. They develop faults and issues. If the computer breaks who lands the plane? There are a lot of issues with completely automating planes compared to ships or vehicles. Both due to the amount of people who could die and the inaccessibility of rescue if something goes wrong. In the end it is safer to have one human pilot in the aircraft. Just hope they are not a crazy German.

And that is the end of capitalism, which is the point of this thread. Capitalism means society is built on demand and supply based on PERSONAL resources. If 90% are unemployed and get tokens from the government to use to by robot made goods and consume robot rendered services, then this society is essentially an utopian communist shitshow dreamed up by Marx and Engels 170 years ago.

Horses lost their jobs because they were superseded by cheaper equipment.

People will lose their jobs in the same way.

>but new jobs will spring up
Why? What law of the universe is there making this the case?

>>71459356
Are you serious?

America's economy boomed, but not for horses. The horses were superseded by automation and all lost their jobs. There were no new jobs created for horses, and there are less horses today than there were 100 years ago.

The same will happen for humans, at least as far as losing jobs goes.

There is no law of economics that says more technology = more jobs. In fact, it is the opposite. More technology = less jobs, for a particular market. The more automated the car industry got, the less workers were in it per car produced.

A widely-applicable general-purpose automation technology would be useful in all markets, meaning the unemployed workers would have nowhere to go.
>>
it's not just 'dumb workers' who will lose their jobs

eventually, health issues will be solved or easily cured. for example, if you suffer a deep cut or even a broken bone you can repair it yourself at home or a robot medical bay will with advanced technology.

another example would be teeth. imagine a treatment that gives your body the ability to repair and even regrow teeth, thus never needing expensive teeth products or dentist services.

those are millions of jobs filled by people that are relatively smart and educated. that's just the tip of the iceberg too.

How will the robots support them? Will they have to buy a robot to go out and work for them?

Tell us what this looks like. Take Joe Blow's middle american family and describe what happens to him when a robot at his factory replaces him and he goes on welfare the next day.

Right now, rich people own robots to do their manufacturing, so that they can charge Joe Blow for their goods and services. Is the government going to take over all goods and services to be sure that robots support Joe Blow?

If a general-purpose automation technology exists capable of automating white-collar work, why won't the new jobs just get filled with this automation technology too?

Workers who were obsoleted by automation didn't move into the same jobs, anon, because those jobs too were automated. A general-purpose automation technology will automate across all markets, meaning there will be no job for you to go into.

I read your post fine. You said the decline of horses created jobs for automobile makers.

Automobile makers aren't horses. It did not create any new jobs for horses. The horses still had no jobs.

Horses themselves became undesirable in (almost) all jobs because there was no job a horse could do that a machine couldn't do better. There are some working horses still around, but a tiny fraction of what there used to be.

Surgery isn't automated- the Da Vinci still has a human at the controls, the machine just works as a more precise way of their performing the surgery. Outcomes have actually shown the Da Vinci to be inferior to many conventional surgeries, however, so whether it remains a thing is to be seen.

"Automated" implies that machines are operating on their own without human control, which is not the case. A human operating a crane does not make the crane "automated." The same goes for current methods of robotic surgery.

>service and white collar will always persist
White collar work won't. Most of it can be easily automated once you develop a machine capable of it. For example, discovery is the process where lawyers go through a mountain of paperwork looking for patterns or evidence. Easily automated, and in most big firms it already is. Professional jobs aren't safe. Or being a doctor. There are already programs where you can plug in the symptoms and get a diagnosis which is more accurate than that given by the average doctor (so long as you put in the symptoms correctly).

You have no idea how advanced programming has become.

After automobiles came on the scene, there were millions of unused horses. Every family living outside of an urban area had one or more horses to get anywhere and mules to do work. All travel by public transport used horses. A single horse-drawn bus in NYC would use 11 different horses per day.

Then suddenly, in 1916, the model T Ford was produced en masse on an assembly line, cheap and accessible. The change from horses to cars happened rapidly. By the end of WWI, the unused horse population was so high, that the military was simply shooting and incinerating their military horses that returned from war- they couldn't GIVE them away.

Across the country, right after WWI there were millions of displaced and unwanted horses from both the military and millions of civilians who no longer wanted their horses because CARS. It was a complete upheaval of the horse and carriage into cars, and it was smooth for people, but devastating to horses.

Because someone got smart--- and the millions of excess horses that nobody could give away, started being killed for dog food. Canned horsemeat for dog food was the first canned pet food in the US, popping up as a way to get rid of millions of horses that nobody wanted....and that's where all the unemployed horses went.

Welcome to the future you chose.

Either welfare or charity would distribute the wealth from workers to non-workers.

That's the point anon. When there are fewer available jobs than people looking for them people will be unemployed through no fault of their own. If there are 10,000 jobs and 100,000 people that means there are 90,000 people who statistically, literally, cannot get a job.

It's mostly in preparation for space expansion. Once we start industry we can hopefully create a commercial industry for space travel.

Thing is, you cannot automate everything. You need a sufficiently capable and large pool of people for such a venture. You can't just slap a rocket and some propulsion turnings and expect things to end well.

For that you're going to need a very well educated and intelligent population in order for it to work out.

We can barely use vehicles we have now right. There's wrecks every fucking day. Imagine these faggots handling spacecraft.
>>
I think the solution becomes more clear if you look at automation in terms of the end game: utopia. All production, transportation, entertainment, anything we could ever want can be produced by highly efficient highly sustainable robots. People will do whatever they feel like at no cost because there is no economy, why would there be? Everything is provided for and recycled at 99.99% efficiency and will be sustainable for millions of years. Humans may still be productive as physicists and explorers, but it's optional at this point.

This challenge is transitioning from a capitalist society to a utopian one. What needs to happen is a rise in the quantity/quality of goods and services received for a given cost. Imagine if every farm was automated and operated at 1/5th their current cost. Regulations would need to be in place to ensure that a significant portion of that benefit is passed onto the consumer, and not entirely absorbed by whoever's on top. Essentially, one should be able to maintain a standard of living on less and less income until income reaches 0.

What would the robots try to achieve, so far robots and computers work becuase they are told to accomplish something. The modern AI is just given more complex tasks.

And that gives you power? How can you leverage that to save your job? I asked for examples of power, not "things people can do that horses can't".

Learn to fucking read.

You said that it would be different for people because people are the ones in power, implying that because people control the market they would leverage it to work in their interests.

This isn't true. "People" aren't in power, certain individual people are. Unless you personally have power you aren't going to be able to achieve jack shit in terms of protecting your share of the economy. So tell me, what power do you have? You claim that just because you are a human that means that you have the power to control the market. Show me that's true. Tell me what you can do to protect your quality of life in the face of machines that can do your job a thousand times cheaper than you. How are you going to be able to prevent them taking your work where horses couldn't stop the car?

It's going to require political action. How much political power do you think that you, as an individual, have?

You've got to be baiting me. You literally did ask me for things I can achieve that horses couldn't. I never disagreed with you that humans are going to lose a lot of jobs to automation, I said cgpgrey's horse analogy is shit.

In his analogy, that you're piggybacking off of, he claims that automation didn't turn out good for horses. In the same way he (you?) is saying that automation won't turn out good for humans. I think this is bullshit because horses aren't the ones in charge, we are. And we're never going to let humans start dying out, the way horses did, just because our labor becomes obsolete.

btw, you're a fucking idiot.

The problem with /pol/ is that nobody here tries to make rational solutions to these problems. I mean sure it would be hella easy to just euthanize everyone on well-fare, but how would that ever happen? Protip, it wont. This is why the alt-right in general is a joke. They cant come up with realistic solutions to these problems.

Jesus fucking Christ, never has there been a better example of reading what you want to read rather than reading what is written.

>In the same way you are saying that automation won't turn out good for humans.
No, I am not. I am saying that automation won't create more better jobs for humans. Automation could turn out very well. It could also turn out awfully. I can't predict either. But it will turn out one way or the other. Things won't just keep going the way that they are. In fact, I made this point very fucking early in the thread. Next time I suggest you read all of it before chiming fucking in. See here (>>71459738)

That's what you HOPE, but you have no POWER to ensure that. Do you?

"we" aren't in charge. Some of us are, as individuals, but you have no more influence over human society than a fucking horse.

People will swap to non-automated industries. As the costs of production go down, so will the price of goods.

That spineless reasoning would have prevented the creation of the steam engine or nuclear power.

We don't live remotely like our ancestors of a century ago did. Let alone those separated by hundreds or thousands of years. Don't try to hobble humanity because you read too much sci-fi.

The neural networks I've been using can barely be taught to recognize human skin. The closer we get to reaching high-level automation, the more work we have to do.

industrialization made a huge number of people redundant certainly, but it was concerned with the primary and secondary industries, fortunately the tertiary and quaternary existed to take on the now unemployed. However these industries are now becoming heavily saturated (ask anyone with a BSc, their degree is basically worthless) and the sector is continually asking for highly over-educated people for relatively basic jobs. With automation looming entirely new industries would have to be developing, however they simply aren't. When automation removes the vast majority of primary, secondary and indeed tertiary industry jobs (with smatterings of quaternary industry jobs) where will the billions of people now unemployed turn for employment?

Also I should say, as everyone else commenting on this, that I can't see the future so this is ultimately speculation on my part. However I'm fairly confident the speculation.

lol, you're an idiot. All I ever said was that I disagree with cgpgrey's horse analogy, I never even gave my opinion on whether or not we would lose or gain jobs, or whether or not it would be good or bad. I said that comparing humans to horses is stupid.

You're just looking for someone to argue with, you didn't even try to understand what I was saying and you accuse me of the same thing.

>you have no more influence over human society than a fucking horse.
If you want to believe that the rich elites will murder the lower class and take over the world with robot labor or something, you can, but that seems like a completely different discussion. I find it very unlikely that the governments of the world will let the peons die out, once the heavy automation hits, but who knows.

And your reasoning for this is that "humans have power" and yet you consistently fail to show that they do. "Humans" do not exist as a single bloc that all think and work the same way, and the people whose interests are served by a kind and beneficent regime (like you) have no power whatsoever.

>I never even gave my opinion on whether or not we would lose or gain jobs
That isn't relevant. The point of contention is whether the analogy is good, and the sole reason you've given for it being bad so far is totally unsupported.

>If you want to believe that the rich elites will murder the lower class and take over the world with robot labor or something, you can

>>71468682

I didn't say that. It has a similarly transformative power like the steam engine. Obviously the way it's going to change society is different, you dumb faggot. If it was exactly the same people like you wouldn't give a shit. You're just afraid of the unfamiliar and unpredictable.

>Is a self aware entity (people will give it rights)
Learning and being self aware are very, very different.
