New goal: Make it to retirement without being replaced

[sdg]

"you might think technology can't replace your job"
I'd be pretty horrified if technology started replacing unemployed peoples jobs.

This was 8 years ago, now with the sudden rise of AI music, AI art, AI video, ChatGPT, and so on... that's crazy...

I'd really like an updated version of this video.

So you think a bot can take my job? The joke's on you, I don't have a job!

Worth noting that baxter was discontinued in 2018 due to underwhelming sales, for anyone who has stumbled onto this

This wouldn't be scary if we lived in a world where being unemployed didn't mean loss of livelihood

[finnrock]

Those darn automation engineers, taking over everyone's jobs. At least I'm safe *looks at degree in robotics* ... *looks at robots that teach themselves* Oh, I managed to steal my own job, darn.

"The human brain is the most complicated machine, perhaps in the whole universe."

See once upon a time "robots do all the humans jobs" meant "humans don't need to work anymore, because abundance can be achieved without labor"; now it means "you must work to get income to survive, and no one will employ you because a robot can do all the work more cheaply." If governments don't start to provide income for their citizens, how will the increasingly unemployed and unemployable population be expected to survive?

I learned to make pizza the through all the traditional methods at a New York style pizzaria and at a Neapolitan style pizzaria. I worked at the fastest place in town and was able to toss and stretch pizza dough so fast that both of the owners and two GMs couldn't keep up at the over side of the oven. Now I work in a university cafeteria. The company that runs the cafeteria bought a dough pressing robot that presses doughballs perfectly flat, every time, even with inferior dough. I'm 25 and my trade is already dead.

Prostitution is known as the first profession, it may be the last profession as well.

2014 Grey: We're being taken over by artificial intelligence and automation!

2020 Grey: TUMBLEWEEDS

It sucks that I’m in the generation with the awkward gap where the economy needs humans for it to function, but there’s so many robots that finding a normal job is getting more and more difficult.

When playing a Minecraft Tech mod with my gf I realised this.

She didn't want me to automate her work in the game.

I usually always automate any production line I need in the game. Up to the point where I litterarly have nothing to do, and so I get bored and quit the game.

My girlfriend asked me not to automate her stuff, though repetetive, it is still something to do.

We then needed too much material to continue with the same manual labour, thus automating the things that we did not have time for, and instead started to work on the next step. Making sure not to make ourselves unecessary. Much better experience.

The moment when you realize that your job as a programmer is to automate your job.

The YouTube algorithm recommending this to me at least twice a year feels a bit like mockery

[MichaelRicksAherne]

This video needs an updated version! Would love to see what Grey thinks of all the recent advances.

Guy: *Kills person in front of Baxter*
Baxter: *"Interesting"*

Interestingly, my job primarily consists of writing code to do my job for me. I’m quite literally writing a replacement me to take over my job and make me redundant
