Can't you just enjoy things you like doing? Not everything needs to be a grind or a side hustle.

- bamboozled 2y agoI do, but I also enjoy the fact I'm making something, what is the point of making something when I can have something else make it. It's similar to deciding to dig up my front yard by hand to build a new garden rather than use a machine. You can do it, but you know it's pointless. Now imagine when EVERYTHING is like that? It will be strange.
- torlok 2y agoIsn't this the case already? As most people, I don't have the best opinion on contractors, but you can always hire somebody better than you for the job, if you have the money.
- bamboozled 2y agoI'm into woodworking and carpentry, I don't usually don't hire carpenters because they'll do a better job than me I hire them because I don't have the time to do the job myself.
- torlok 2y agoFair, but how will robots change that?
- forgetfreeman 2y agoOstensibly there won't be any carpenters to hire because they've all been bankrupted by automated contractor services. This seems like a pretty big change to me.
- Philpax 2y agoBut how does that change the calculation in the grandposter's reply? You can still do it yourself if you want, or you can hire the automated contractor if you don't have the time or effort.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoClearly it doesn't, but why should I care about, much less prioritize discussing, an individual's DIY proclivities when a potentially much more potent issue is available?
