Even better question: would you be willing to train the AI-driven robot which will end your profession altogether?

- px43 2mo agoI work in infosec and I would give up everything I own and die happy if infosec became a solved problem and the profession died forever. It's hard for me to imagine a profession that should exist in a utopian society. People should just be able to explore and build cool shit. People should have instant access to food when they're hungry and housing when the weather gets bad, and we could live in a society that does all that without having rent extraction baked into everything.

- NekkoDroid 2mo agoI assume they mean that it is all already automated in the utopian society. And I would kinda agree that that would be utopian. But sadly we live in the real world where greed rules pretty much everything, meaning that it will remain an unobtainable dream for (most likely) ever.
- ryandrake 2mo agoThere's unfortunately a huge contingent of people who would strongly oppose a utopia where we all could live as equals in comfortable, luxurious lifestyles, where robotics, replicators, AI, and automation took care of everyone's needs and wants. They oppose the "live as equals" part.
- eli_gottlieb 2mo agoFarming and baking are already very thoroughly automated and their labor force completely proletarianized.
