Yeah, we don't need people to work. This will incentivize people to automate work where possible. The ideal world is everything is automated and EVERYONE benefits, vs what we have now: much is automated and the rich benefit while others have to work shit jobs or die.
- refurb 6y agoAutomate everything? Who builds and repairs the robots? And who gets stuck with that job when everyone else doesn’t have to work?
- TrinaryWorksToo 6y agoIf everything is automated, there would be no repair jobs as robots would self-repair.
- refurb 6y agoWho repairs the self-repair robots when they need repair?
- leetcrew 6y agoI'm as skeptical as you are, but presumably if we could make robots that were capable of repairing themselves, they could also repair other robots?
- TrinaryWorksToo 6y agoThey could repair themselves.
- refurb 6y agoThis is so distant in the future that it’s almost not worth the discussion. Maybe we can pick this up 100 years from now.
- TrinaryWorksToo 6y agoWell my question is: Is this the goal? Or do we want one person to own all of the means of production, and have everyone else get nothing?
- goatlover 6y agoThe robots will paper clip everything before then.
- d2v 6y agoI'll do it. Building robots sounds dope. I'd imagine a good chunk of people on HN would love to live in a post scarcity society where they can spend their time building and repairing robots.
- refurb 6y agoThanks for volunteering! Gonna need you to come in for a 12 hour day since no once else is available. It’s your spouses birthday? That sucks. Maybe next year! Sounds like a gun to your head.
