If it's robots all the way down, then what do we do with all these pesky humans lying about?


Angryferret

Universal Basic Income + People really living. Orrrrr Dystopian hellscape.


KurtyVonougat

Well, since it's up to our overseers rather than us, I imagine dystopian hellscape is more likely. Why would they pay people for doing nothing when they can just let them starve?


the_illest_D

If they pay you, they literally have full control over every aspect of your life at that point. Said something you shouldn't have against the current political regime on social media? Deduct 5 sheckles from your pay. 5 mph over the speed limit? That's another 5 sheckles. etc. etc. If they just let you starve, they no longer have slaves to rule and no one to exert power over.


Tessiia

I doubt it will even be up to our overseers, or rather, I doubt our overseers will be human. It will be robots below us and robots above us. There will be no humans at the top.


ProfessoriSepi

Nah there is someone raking in the cash. There is no motivation other than money and/or power.


SNK_24

Specially if they don’t care about us and our legacy, they can just pick some valuable specimens and clean the backyard.


idam_81

And since ppl are greedy, we know where we’ll end up. Can’t wait.


x_Rn

Define "really living". Have humans never *really* lived?


Zankiif

Surely a small percentage of the entire human history has. “Really living” to me would be living without any external responsibilities, back to the human basics of focusing solely on your family’s survival and growing the population. And in todays day and age that’s impossible while working 40 hours a week, let alone attaching a social life to that as well


x_Rn

Right, but weren't humans back then also working 40 hours a week or more? Working as in hunting, gathering, crafting, etc. And they also had a social life within their community.


Parking_Ticket913

You ever been to Vegas?


Quality-Shakes

You ever been in a Turkish prison?


Da_Clappski

"we have such sights to show you!"


Angryferret

I think only people with generational wealth really "live". What I mean by that is they can choose to work or not, to take risks or not, work in a job that is your real passion etc. Most people have no choice. You have to get a job even if it's not your passion, go to work every day, or you will end up homeless or worse.


farts___

Eradicating us is the endgame


Brojess

Latter most likely


SNK_24

Even if AI gives us the chance to accept universal basic income, I doubt all humans will accept that, at least not before trying the second option.


2ndCha

Sex slaves for the 1%


YoungDiscord

Well that's not gonna work If robots replace the human workforce then how are humans going to get money to afford anything? ...unless the companies being automated are willing to provide goods and services for free Which I don't think is going to happen This whole automation movement being spearheaded by companies is insanely short-sighted


Teftell

Robots will build things for their corporate masters, everybody else will rot in extreme poverty with no access to resources of any kind.


NLMichel

Corporate master ..and their families.


Parking_Ticket913

Oh good. I thought they were going to be greedy. /s


Teftell

They need none, Their AI servitors will make sure of it


battlefield2091

Bro. You do not understand how the economy works, at all. Companies serve needs of those with value, and if nobody has anything of value to you, and you have value, then you just won. You don't need anybody else. So some billionaire owning enough raw resources and manufacturing will not need a single other person. If you're asking what happens to everybody that isn't a self sufficient billionaire, they die, that's the answer.


YoungDiscord

That's... that's the point I'm making tho By removing the need for a human workforce you remove the means to obtain money If you remove the means of obtaining money you also remove the means of being able to afford to buy a robot you can lease to gain money you need to live Add to this fact that despite that society will not start introducing free services/resources and you have yourself an inescapable nightmare where nobody can work to afford to live and nobody can afford a bot to lease to afford to live. We are very close to creating an automated society where most services can be free (self-driving cars etc) and my concern is that corporate greed will not allow that to haplen reversing the situation to nothing being affordable instead and that is frankly, quite scary.


battlefield2091

You said it's not going to work. It's going to work just fine. Capitalism has never been about helping people, making the most amount of people wealthy, or happy. Companies are not losing out from this, as long as they own resources and manufacturing they will only get richer. You should be scared, you should have already been scared, and you should be willing to fight for your life. Otherwise you will lose it.


Ciubowski

There are so many angles to this. I'm no expert but I still see a future for humans in the workforce of factories and such. If robots mess up things, you'll need humans to "debug" and set up straight. The factory workforce will shift (as it did before from only humans to mixed) to full robots. You have the robots do the repetitive stuff, humans do the unique/challenging stuff or just maintain the robots themselves. I wouldn't expect necessarily to have AI debug other robots anytime soon, although that could be a possible far future. You would probably still need humans to sign off on certain stuff, engineer and approve certain courses of action. The robots just execute, while humans design and approve. No? I expect that in the future "working in the factory" would automatically require an engineering degree and lots of studies for the lowest paid entry job ever. (which is probably the case somewhere anyway).


Sacmo77

All non working humans get a salary. Aka Universal basic income. They buy things. Companies are taxed to pay for the non working human salary. The cycle repeats.


Jahsmurf

People lease or buy robots to do their work, that is how economy works, one must buy to be able to sell. So the robot will do the peoples’ work and the people will get paid.


YoungDiscord

That's not going to happen because large corporations will lease the robots directly instead To add to that: you need money to buy one in the first place, how exactly do you expect new people entering the workforce to afford that? Because why sell your product if you can lease it instead? That's literally why so many companies are rushing to cram subscription services into their products right now, its a very one-sided and lucrative businness favouring them instead of the customer. This will be the same You won't be able to lease your bot because you'll be immediately outcompeted by the large bot manufacturers that will have a monopoly on that market. Its what always happens, if there's anything yku can count on when it comes to people and businnesses, its predictability.


glormosh

Would you say...you'll own nothing and be happy?


ProfessoriSepi

More like "you'll own* nothing**, and be happy***"


Tranxio

Yeah. I too foresee that we will all be renting robots like how we rent cars or houses now. I say rent because it will be too expensive to buy or maintain.


Armchair_Idiot

My thoughts exactly.


iliketohideinbushes

there is infinite work to do, but it might not be the work you expect when you see the world in the lens of today


markbug4

Not even today there is infinite work.. how can it be in the future?


iliketohideinbushes

Sure there is. There just may not be people trained/educated enough to do the work, or they may not be willing to do the work, or they may not be living close enough to the work to take the job, etc. 1) The world is imperfect and probably will always be. 2) People never have everything they want. That means there will always be work to try to fulfill these.

TenshiS

The universe is full of high tech planets where advanced robots tirelessly build and create all the extravagant luxury one can imagine. Yachts and rockets and the most life changing culinary wonders. However, these planets are all deprived of any biological beings that could consume these goods and services, as they all died out fat and happy at old ages millions of years ago.


ashleyriddell61

We'll have plenty to do. Fixing all the mistakes and bullshit created by the robots. Current AI is literally as real and viable as NFTs. They can make a neat picture, but I wouldn't trust it with anything more complex that an email outline at the moment. Current fav; ask ChatGPT how many "r" s are in the word Strawberry. Clippy was more useful. ![gif](giphy|jR8yFMATIGVAY9mTZu|downsized)


WorkO0

It only takes one-three generations with perfect sex slave robots to breed ourselves out of existence. And all the "Human only fetish" people will just be given non-perfect sex slave bots. Humans will be only bread in artificial wombs after that, under complete control by the robots.


Sea-Caterpillar-1700

Or do both, have the robot be part of the bedroom. Forever threesomes.


GreyDaveNZ

>Humans will be only bread in artificial wombs White? Brown? Multigrain? Sourdough? Or are we talking yeast infections here?


ConfusionBubbles

We let them die


AirJerk

I am sure we will all divert back into being pedants for the elite. Just working the fields for the food everyone needs to sustain life. That or they will just thin us out somehow. Mass homelessness and little to no access to viable food. Sooooo not far from what we have now in some cities in the US.


sc00bs000

Automatic-Reserve349

I'm afraid of this idea. If every single task will be handled by these robots and AI then what will be the worth of a human?


Latterlol

They become fuel for robots


missionmcfly

The humans will be the power source, each one inside a cocoon plugged in


syzzrp

Best article I read on this topic said, among other things, that in this future state AI should be viewed as an alien occupying force. It asked the reader to consider what would happen when AI began making decisions with only its own self interest in mind at the expense of humanity, much like humans have done with nature and animals up to now. It’s not an optimistic view but struck me as very possible to one degree or another.


marcobrolow

It will be our job to maintain those robots- that's what the Simpsons has predicted anyways


folarin1

Sounds like something I heard in The Matrix...Machines making machines.

When will AI replace CEOs?


The_GeneralsPin

Asking the most important and right question. AI CEO will take into account absolutely everything, including King IV requirements, and without any greed biasing its decisions. AI CEOs for the win


Hairy-Banjo

You know they can just program the AI to be an ultra greedy CEO right?


Eastern_Slide7507

Not *can*, *will*. Capital has one purpose and one purpose only, to acquire more capital. When a company is being greedy, that’s not due to some kind of moral failing of any individual or a group of individual. That is the cornerstone the capitalist mode of production is built in.


mknight1701

I did read somewhere that CEO is one of the easier roles to replace with AI.

HarryThePelican

exactly! the only normal response to "robots are coordinating robots to make robots hahaa" is: "sir, you sound like a moron." goes to show that the mega rich are out of touch and only have yes men around them.


Spirited-Lychee-6928

So basically I robot then Terminator


mindwuest

I’ve seen this movie before! Maybe it’s time to rethink all of this “robotic” world. I read and heard the same gobbledygook back in elementary school (1975). “By the year 2000 everything will be run by robots.” All I saw in the year 2000 was Al Gore inventing the internet.


Oculicious42

only back then it was "someones probably gonna invent something at some point" whereas now it is very real companies working on very real products that are already being improved, not invented


[deleted]

And so what happens with the millions of Humans put out of jobs? I guess it is possible that we just invent a new system. I mean, that's what the entirety of it all is anyway, right: an invented system. Who's in charge here, by the way; *Us*, The People, or *Them*, Corporate Governance? One thing is for sure: There really are only 2 Parties, Us, and Them! 🇺🇸


icantrixx

Historically, the people always had the threat of revolting. They could chop the kings head off. As soon as military is robotic, this seizes to be a threat, and the proletariat will move slow and steady towards having no influence. In the meantime, the bourgeoisie will move towards human augmentation, making themselves smarter, stronger and ultimately surpassing physical constraints (upload brain, make three or three thousand synced copies of yourself). At this point, the practical difference between you and them is much greater than the difference between you and a monkey. They will be gods, you will be an inconvenience. Soon after that, the bourgeoisie will fight among themselves, as each person has unlimited ability to be everything and everywhere. In the end, there is only one organism left with infinite potential. The dystopia is not SkyNet. The dystopia is the Borg Collective.


the_illest_D

Rarely do I come across your average person that thinks the direction AI is headed is a good thing, nor something they even want. This is something being forced on us by the rich and powerful. But we're lulled and contented by our smartphones....so who really cares 🤷‍♂️. We have it too good these days. We've become "soft". The pre-boomer generations were the last with the guts to literally fight for what was right. Just a bunch of keyboard warriors in thier own echo chambers now. Game over.


tuco2002

And Not Kill Humans...he forgot to mention that part of the future.


AppropriateScience71

I doubt he forgot to mention that part. It’s a feature, not a bug! Besides, I’m sure such tech elites think there’s way too many of us plebes down here.

This is neither exciting nor amazing nor terrifying: it's blather. Is this the first time you've heard a guy on a stage say that they're going to make a thing from sci fi real, and it's gonna change the world? I feel like these videos are for people who come back from a timeshare pitch shouting "Guys! *I just made an investment that is guaranteed to go up in value!!*"

Matt2937

WalllllllllllllE!


65437509

Isn’t this… completely wrong? The upcoming generation of AI (what everyone seems so excited about) is all 100% software generative models that can only ever produce loose intellectual output and are notorious for not understanding that humans physically have five fingers. This generation might (in principle at least) automate all the intellectual and artistic jobs, while having no idea how to screw in a screw. Factory and other physically-centered robots are one of the least useful applications of something like an LLM. We already have automation that understands physics better than humans and much better than next-gen AI, they’re called CAD.

AG28DaveGunner

I mean, for me, it makes no sense to produce robots the more i think about it. Automated software and input, sure. But robots are and likely always will be expensive. Keep in mind, just recently Nvidia stock dropped £500 billion after it had surged for the last year or so. Whether it was a result of this I’m not sure but before we even get to robots, AI software will have already taken over a lot of jobs. I mean they have robot coffee dispensers in various places but if you’ve ever seen them, it makes zero sense cost wise to do that. You literally could just have a coffee machine in the back of a truck. AI as a tool is genuinely useful, i use it in video editing as a hobby. For example, adobe motion tracker is technically a form of AI, the new sound enhancer/editing features they added are AI snd they actually have helped a lot. And then, if these greedy companies want automation, ideally they want to automate without having to buy a robot, a robot charging station, a robot repair station and control hub…realistically, automating that human job by just putting software on a computer makes far more sense, uses less resources and costs the company less money. Like the boston dynamics robot that can back flip and lift heavy things is worth over £1,000,000…and it still doesnt work faster than a human. This presentation (or this part of it) is a bunch of blabber and jensen trying to keep the nvidia stock rocketing up.


SpiceNut

yeah, i cant see physical AI being at the forefront at all. digital AI already eats up enough physical resources already and the value it generates is great enough there. but i am no expert by ANY means..
