...and by 'fix it' they mean, might make the workers more complacent until their jobs can be automated out of existence.
I don't buy the idea that 'robots will take our jobs', but it will damn sure take some jobs, with that portion being higher every decade.

- dogman144 4y agoYa the more this is said out loud, the better we can prep for whatever this part of the workforce can do next. It feels like we’re in a dangerous in between of applauding the technology and aggressively staying blind to the jobs it’s obviously coming for. End result is a lot of pissed off truckers and warehouse workers who were sold for years on robotics improving productivity (or robot dogs not showing up patrolling neighborhoods without a real cop), and were stupid enough to trust tech product leads about it. The tech improves productivity and might be intended as a ride-along in some cases, but the MBA at the user company will see it differently via labor costs.
