You seem to be under the impression that most jobs, as they exist and are done, are objectively needed. Just like RTO policies, they only exist to keep the economy going. Automation is not driven by a love of engineering or the desire to automate for efficiency's sake. The drive is the most efficient path to increasing profits and reducing costs not performing existing jobs in the most efficient way.
- variadix 1y agoAutomation being more profitable implies it’s more efficient (by the market’s measure of efficiency, which is the best measure anyone has come up with)
- netdevphoenix 11mo agoNot necessarily. RTO's policies are profitable but not efficient. Existing commercial anti-depressants are profitable but not efficient. Fuel oil is profitable but not efficient. I can go on but I hope you can get my point. The market is made up of humans who are not purely rational beings nor are they capable of thinking over too long periods of time.
