Well at this point "labour" is free. The only logical solution I see at this point is basically communism. The only work left will be politics/ethics.
But politics is what we should replace first in my opinion :D
Side effect of free labour: prices going down a lot.
- adventured 11y agoNo the labor isn't free, it's extremely expensive: R&D, installation, maintenance, replacement, operation, electricity, shelter, transport, insurance. There will never be a scenario under any circumstances in which labor is free. It rests on a principle that guarantees that: energy will never be free, nor will all the other requirements such as materials, buildings, et al.
- falcolas 11y agoCompared to the cost of a human doing the same job, it's a lot closer to free than the cost of the human: Human wages for a clerical role: ~$60,000 a year. EC2 m4-10xl instance for a year: ~$13,000 The lack of a need for breaks, management, HR, bathrooms, kitchens, break rooms, lighting, HVAC, 60+ sq feet per employee... The costs for maintenance, energy and R&D are suddenly small peanuts; you can do a lot of R&D for the difference between the cost of a human and a machine.
