Lay offs and A.I. Robots

[Unknownparadox]

Even AI is suggesting you are overstating the impact on job loss so far

Yeah I don't see the word prediction machine as trust worthy. It isn't artificial intelligence as it had been innovatively sold as.
 

World Economic Forum, McKinsey, Oxford Economics

Is that one of the idiots that said? Pitting American worker against people working for a bowl of rice, or a burrito a day, would be great for America? Because I remember people protesting when republicans and democrats sold out the American work force, back in 2000.

Seems to me the protesters were right. And the idiot eggheads were wrong.

I'm imagining that sexbots are going to literally suck lonely Millennials dry of any remaining saving that student loan debt doesn't. 

Most likely, as anti social media, has made speaking to someone in person, in public a undesirable event. Yep technology is here to save the world from technology.

The middle class will continue to be squeezed until its decimated

Yep, been squeezed into the lower class for the 3rd time in my adult life, last ime I was 35, this time Im 61.

I'm more than a little fucking concerned; it's just not constructive to dwell on it every day, people want to talk about jobs lost. 

Already experienced in our industry, we lost 40% of our firms during the COVID shutdowns, out of business. It's slowly coming back, but it will never get close to where it was prior. 

I couldn't work full-time as it is, but thats temporary. 

So either I climb back into a weakened industry, or I find a new sector to start a new career... REALITY, all the while

Why does it have tits? And dat ass!

Sad truth is porn and sex are at the forefront of technology. It's the reason VCRs became popular and it's a huge portion of internet traffic. Heck, sometimes I think the modern cell phone exists because some nerd 30 years ago thought "I want every piece of porn in existence, available instantly, on a screen I can put in my pocket and carry anywhere!". Certainly, the reality we have is indistinguishable from that amusing thought.

We're already seeing it with AI chatbots; people are developing unhealthy codependent relationships as an intimacy substitute. Heck, it is the "new" intimacy. So yeah, humans being humans, there will be a huge market for AI android "companions". Everyone in the industry knows; if they say they don't they're just pretending.

So what would be constructive? If I am not mistaken loss of jobs to illegals was one of the republican claims. That is actually true for a change.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party's claim that immigrants are stealing jobs from American citizens is nothing new and is, also, false, experts have told Newsweek.

I wonder if that is some of the experts that said free trade would be great for the American workforce. If those experts visit a couple constructions sites, they will quickly find they are wrong. They work cheaper because they live 10 to a house. So that steals a lot of jobs. Unless Americans start living 10 to a house, so they can compete.

Same thing with bots. We are 10-20 years from having a wood frame house building bot, power source being the main hold up at this point. But china has concrete building bots.

You should call it AvAitar ; )

Here the prototype... does she look like a AvAitar

Yeah, I rarely listen to Trump... he has too much NYC businessman schtick

Ive got no issues with the American Hispanic community I went to school with and worked with plenty on construction sites and elsewhere. Good, decent, fun-loving people.

The problem isn't demographically, it's numerically
