I think the point is that robots will do the shitty low-margin jobs like drive trucks, bag french fries, and change tires, and humans will get to do more enjoyable jobs like creating "artisan" goods as you refer to them.
- st3v3r 10y agoWith what money?
- artursapek 10y agoRobots are happy to work for free (minus operating costs) and there won't be enough work left to occupy all adults for 5 days a week. I think the economics of all this are the hardest question to answer right now.
- st3v3r 10y agoRobots work for free. They aren't developed, assembled, and maintained for free. So that brings us back to the original question: With what money is that former truck driver supposed to start their robot trucking business?
- anigbrowl 10y agoThe laws of supply and demand mean that the artisinal jobs will in turn become shitty and low margin because of the oversupply of cheap labor.
- artursapek 10y agoWell I'm also assuming people will also spend a lot less of their lives working. Otherwise you're correct, there will be a huge oversupply of labor.
