McD's ex CEO has bad news

[MusterX]

Yep eventually there wont be many jobs for people. Best jobs will probably be fixing these machines. Until they can invent machines that can fix other machines then your just done. Will all need to receive some sort of minimum pay just for doing nothing.

Well, we are kinda working on that already. Billions of dollars worldwide have been pouring into computer tech and robotics for a long time now. Check out this short video, its pretty cool. This is a robot repairing the ISS in space. Its name is Dextre and it became the first self repairing robot in space. That arm is not controlled by a human, Dextre did the repair himself (itself?)



In the end, they will not need humans to repair them.

Damn Robots they are taking our Jerbs,

So what's next prostitute Robots?

@ripskater I think you mentioned this before that in the future there will be robots and humans will start having sex with robots.

So if that is true the hookers are not safe either.

Only a matter of time now.

However, one company is working on robotizing sex dolls, and has created the most sophisticated unit to date.

Dubbed Roxxxy (yes, developer True Companion actually did that with the name) the sexbot is a step ahead of your Ryan Gosling costar. She stands at an average height of 5-foot-7, and weighs a waifish 60 pounds. Like any good sex partner, Roxxxy has lifelike skin, and can move her limbs. Interestingly, Roxxxy evolved from True Companion’s line of healthcare robots that were designed to look after the elderly, which perhaps means that she’ll one day be able to cook you breakfast after a regretful night. This, actually, is True Companion’s intent, which is noticeable in the name of the company itself. Rather than creating a sexbot that can simulate real sex to the best of its robotic abilities, True Companion’s aim is to provide its namesake: a true companion. It aims to make a girl or boyfriend instead of a mute doll that you hide during dinner parties.

True Companion makes Roxxxy more than just a lifeless doll by including various motors and responses in the model. She is able to move her private inputs — as the company calls them — when they are being utilized, thanks to dedicated sensors. The bot is also able to mimic an orgasm, so you aren’t the only one having them. She is able to listen and carry on a conversation with the help of some light artificial intelligence installed on a computer embedded in the sexbot. On top of all that, the sexbot comes with pre-programmed personalities, such as shy, outgoing, experienced, or new to the whole thing and in need of some guidance. The bot also cycles through moods, such as tired or horny, so sometimes it just won’t be in the mood, or sometimes you won’t be.

We've had thread articles posted about that. Some guys are already doing that.

Then you have this branch of tech working on self assembling smart parts. The world is going to became a very strange place moving forward.

Great first low skill fuckos lost the factories.... now fast food. Instead of celebrating that the fast food workers dontdeserve 15 bucks see what you get yall should be asking the question of what will we do with the surplus population who has no job or chance of one that is sure to be surge as this trend continues?

Would be wise to boycott the companies that do this. Everyone liks shit more streamline but the train comes off the tracks get enough people out of work

Probably stay in philippines and mexico . I dont know if youve noticed but they arent highschool kids and elderly and drop outs working there it is immigrants on working visas .

I think it was like in Japan or something, hehehehe

We need to stop the robots.

Hahah Sex bot

In another 10 or 20 years they may be indistinguishable from actual humans. I don't mean the sex bots, just bots in general. They will cook, clean, and do pretty much anything a human would do. I really don't think people are ready for what is coming our way. They won't be bots though, I guess they would be androids.

Yeah I think it was there. But I think some Americans had the robot girlfriends also.

If you ask me that's disordered sexual behavior.

And the hookers will be lose their jobs that is not good.

Damn that will be a shocker
Reminds me of a bad dream I had when I use to work as a clerk at computer parts store at an digital electronics district its like a small town full of IT companies and other computer related stuff.

In my dream I see a very pretty girl around her mid 20s in the IT district which is odd because mostly its uglgy nerd types who worked there not the elegant smart women type. And when we started dating I discovered she is running on Microsoft and her Vagina has an intel Octa core CPU.

What if they become indistinguishable from humans? How will we handle that? Picture this, you get invited to a dinner party with a friend you haven't seen in a couple years. His new fiance is there, or is it an android? Her skin is warm to the touch, she cooks, she laughs at your jokes. What happens when we can no longer tell if we are dealing with a human, or an android?

But yelling at a robot just won't be the same as yelling at a 16 year old kid when they put pickles on my burger when I specifically said NO PICKLES!

I have conflicting thoughts on automation and AI. As part of my research, I actually develop machine learning algorithms that can identify better performing nanomaterials. So in a way, I am contributing to the acceleration of automation and AI. It is fun and exciting. On the other hand, I find this to be quite sad in some sense. I look at my kid and I am worried that no matter how smart he becomes, he will never ever compete with the next generation AI that will pretty much crush him at all future creative endeavours. When I was young, some of my absolute joyous moments were when I made a creative discovery. In 50-60 years, the human eureka moments that lead to creating something new would already be mapped out by the AI machine, evaluated for merit, and deployed for some future usage. Basically, human creativity becomes just a minute subset of AI creativity.

Foxconn is obviously not paying its workers anywhere near 10 or 15 bucks an hour, and pretty safe to assume Adidas wasn't either. So if even developing world wages , lack of benefits (compared to the West) and far less worker rights hasn't stopped companies from utilizing robots/automation, then the $15 an hour is essetially a moot point.

About the only thing that may be said is that a fastfood joint may have pushed up the date of automation but they were going to do it in the very near future anyways. Home Depot and Walmart near me both went to mostly automated tellers ; the Walmart has maybee 2 or 3 human tellers and about 6 or 8 automated tellers. The Home Depot has 1 human teller and about 6 automated tellers. This all happened many years ago.

So the point is that conservatives and conservative media attributing Mcd automation primarily to $15 minimum and trying to score some sort of point against the liberals for advocating the $15 minimum is very misleading or outright untrue.

It's not true for Foxconn or Adidas overseas but it would be true in the U.S. You can't treat labor effects in the U.S. as identical to labor effects elsewhere. Foxconn's been cutting their human labor supply ever since the suicide rates started jumping. And lots of overseas manufacturing has returned to their native soil because the tech has finally become cheaper than thousands of cheap humans overseas plus shipping. It's still wage driven and always has been.

Here, we haven't automated certain jobs because the cost of automation isn't sufficiently superior to the cost of human labor, once you factor in the customer experience. But every fast food CEO that I've ever read on the subject has stated that those jobs don't make sense at higher wages because the technology already exists to replace the labor at a higher price point.

Check out lines at retail org's aren't a good comparison point because the cashier has no role in altering the check out process. It's simply a matter of scanning a UPC. There's no real value added since the customer selected the product without the cashier's help.

Ordering food is more complicated since the customer often requests alterations to the menu product. Some might not want ketchup, some don't want tomatoes. There's far more customization. Can computers do it? Sure but it's more expensive that scanning a bar code and calculating a total plus tax.

Pushing the wages for fast food closes the discrepancy between the tech and the humans in the U.S.

You sure you will be able to tell the difference? I've posted about the amount of money pouring into A.I./Computer tech and Robotics but there are other fields making realistic parts that these future androids will use.

Tell me, which one of these feet is the prosthetic and which is the real foot?

Another 10 years, maybe 20, you will not be able to tell if you are yelling at a human or a machine.

Would those Android women give us an iPad?

Either the government needs to establish a minimum universal income or automation has got to stop.

They'll just have to raise taxes. Simple as that. When things get really bad, multi-billion dollar corporations will no longer be able to use loopholes allowing them to pay very close to 0% in taxes. (I fully believe this is why Trump won't show his taxes- because he most likely pays 1/10th the percentage of his average supporter.)

 

[MusterX]

I'm not so sure that's the case, but its not my point. There will come a time, in the not so distant future, that you will no longer be able to tell. That really is the entire point of creating an A.I. that can pass the Turing test. Once that happens, and it will, then the realistic skin and robotics tech that we are also working on goes along with it to make androids that pretty much appear human.
