> theft of ability to make income by training their replacement
This happens to software developers on a regular basis, doesn't it ? Tired: replacing you with a lower-paid intern. Wired: replacing you with a lower-paid intern who got pretty handy with A.I. at university.
- account42 4y agoIt's going to happen a lot more as automation continues. But the destruction of certain trades is only a problem when it means that the profits from the more effecient production are captured by a few while the people made redundant are left in the cold - but that is not how things will have to work. I only hope that sooner rather than later the response will be societal reform instead of just more bullshit jobs that only exist because we have made it so that people need jobs to survive. At some point we will have to realize that making sure everyone has a 40 hour job is not reasonable or needed.
