Except what will matter in the future isn’t brute strength.
It’s ownership of capital and technology.
Plumbers aren’t suddenly getting rich. At best they’re not losing jobs at the rate everyone else is, but once so many people lose jobs then they can’t afford plumbers either. So even plumbers are worse off even if they’re not as badly off as the rest of us.
And all this assumes that humanoid robots don’t develop and succeed which is a major assumption.
- grttwww 6mo agoWow what a novel thought… not. Dude we already live in a world dominated by capital that displaced the need for brute strength. Just go to a construction site in a developed economy. For which the returns to the owners of assets drive continual reinvestment. Posts like this expose how many here think they bring something to the table when it’s just noise.
