I've been saying this for awhile. People laugh at the idea, but people have been laughing at technology removing the need for human labor forever. Until, of course, that technology removes the need for them and then it's "I'm part of the 99 percent" and let's "occupy Wall Street."

And even the people that believe it will replace low-end jobs will turn their nose up at the idea of it replacing college-educated, skilled workers eventually. But it will. At the very least, it will drastically reduce the job market for middle class workers.

It's already happening :yeshrug:

This why I advocate for brehs to not be comfortable. You always need to be forward-thinking with your career. What can I do that would be damn hard for a robot to do? Things that require a lot of creativity and abstract-thinking are minimum 2 or 3 decades away from being replaced by robots. An architect is not being replaced by no robot no time soon, an engineer who designs is not being replaced by no robot no time soon.

Jobs that require a lot of interaction with people are not being replaced by robots no time soon. It would be damn near impossible for a teacher to be replaced by a robot. The layers involved of interacting with students on a day-to-day basis is way beyond AI today.

think about nurses. I've seen some hospitals with million-dollar a piece robots that all they can do is deliver some medicine to a room and that's it. What manager would buy one of those vs 10 nurses who could do that and 10x more?

Robots will definitely change some jobs but it won't eliminate half of them like some people are hyping them up.

Yea, the saturation point will be higher for some jobs more than others. But I believe all will be effected. At least to the point where there will less bodies needed to fulfill the tasks that society needs.

I mean, people can go into a handful of fields that they think will be hard to replace with tech. But at some point, those pools will become overcrowded with people to the point where it will become a Hunger Game to get an entry level job with decent salary for once "well-paying" positions.

It's hard enough for black people, especially black men, to get and keep desirable jobs now. I can only imagine it will become that much harder since black people do not control the means of production.

I believe the money is actually in building up the "hoods" and "ghettos" because those areas lack almost everything and are basically untapped in many ways. But that's not cosmopolitan enough for many, so they will continue to compete in suburbs and downtowns for whatever is left over after non-blacks and soon enough, robots.
