Just as the experts predicted self driving cars and super human AI being right around the corner, the elimination of jobs was greatly exaggerated. The free market never stops inventing new products, new businesses, and new jobs. The left describes the poor as living in a soul-sucking hellscape yet the place that most resembles such a situation is on the streets of SF.
- thatoneuser 7y agoTbf self driving cars are at a point where there's still 99%+ of the job loss remaining. Only toy cars are doing any real self driving at this point. After taxis are automated and then commercial trucking is when we can say how much displacement there will be. Similar for AI - at this point it's still novelty as far as where it will go.
- didibus 7y agoSorry, but who is the left in this scenario? I'm finding it harder and harder to distinguish who is for the free and global economy and who is against it in the US.
- celticninja 7y agoThe 'left' in these scenarios tends to be no one in particular, just the strawman required to make the argument.

Uh, because it hasn't happened yet. You're jumping the gun, no one predicted it'd have happened by now, they're talking about another decade or two.
