This means you will lose your job a few years before the computer fags. Hang on tight in the gutter though because if you last long enough you will also see their human being asses join you there and it will totally be worth it.

human beings will never, ever recreate the human mind with anything coming close to accuracy. we are totally incapable of it, because we do not understand how the mind works, and never will. we can at best make really, really poor mimicry.

it is true that most jobs will become programming jobs, though. but only humans will be able to program these complicated and specialized systems.

also robots will never replace soft skills. lawyers use automation to minimize their paperwork but that is not the same thing as lawyers being replaced.

and good art cannot be created by a machine. a machine can just be used as a tool in creating art.

eeehhh I wouldn't be to sure about this.

The legal field has massive unemployment (something like over 50% of new graduates) thanks to automation. Also too many law schools. Traditionally safe jobs like pharmacy can and have been automated with disturbingly accurate results.

Computers don't have to replace every job in every field, they just have to replace enough that unemployment become untenable...and seeing as how unemployment is already pretty bad with no relief in sight...not a pretty picture.

It would be nice if we could all be writers and artists, but without major social reforms, that's a lot of people homeless in the arts.

its not that robots cant do it, its just that its so much more gratifying to force a human to abandon all dignity and take a job wiping your rear end for you in order to eat

look at a high society cookbook from the mid-late 19th century. its all pureed poo poo and creamy soups and stuff that sounds like a tremendous pain in the rear end to make. it was a way to show off that you had enough money to pay someone to whack carrots into a thin sludge.

skip forward a few decades to after the food processor has been invented, and suddenly society recipes are all about chunky stews and "rustic" preparation. any fool can put a carrot in a cuisinart and hit Frappe, so now to wave your dick around you need to show that you can afford to have someone cut your meat by hand.

robotics engineering is the best and safest job. if your job of designing and programming new and better robots is taken over by a robot then you've got bigger and more interesting problems on your hands than just being out of work.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

jobs suck. it's a good thing if they all go away. it means we can concentrate on important things. many people will need re-education to think in terms of spending their lives bettering themselves, seeking pleasure, exploring the universe and expressing themselves without limit, but that's another important thing for people to do instead of jobs.
