firefighters, nurses, construction workers
- mastax 5y agoWhen we automate the last jobs that can't be offshored we'll have to ask some questions as a society.
- inglor_cz 5y agoFrom a nurse's point of view, having an intelligent helper like Atlas doing lifting of heavy patients etc. means saving her back from injury.
- prepend 5y agoAll these positions involve life and death decisions that freak me out. I want the source code to firefighting bots to be public so I know whether my town buys the ones that prioritize babies over elderly. Or stuff like it’s easier to save 5 dogs than 1 human. Nurses too have great power for good and harm. Currently when nurses decide on mercy killings [0] it requires lots of deliberation to figure out and it’s just one person. If a robonurse is programmed to put lethal morphine into a patient under certain conditions, that’s a big deal.
