This is the right way to go, automate the boring stuff. Free up work to let humans explore, learn, and expand their horizons. The thing that has to change is the structure of our Society and Economy.
That's all great in theory, but just like these robots take time to be developed and then adopted, the world doesn't just jump from trade based on goods and services to star trek style post-scarcity socialism overnight Things are going to get far worse before they get better, and there's no real way around it
I think it is best to ride the growth speed all the way and automate as much as possible. When the economy stagnates, jobs will not appear fast enough to provide jobs to the displaced workers.
You wrote it wrong. Its like this: ' No, because they have no choice ...✂ Cut........because they will go to retrain for a better paying jobs, some retire(men at 60 and women at 50-55) and travel the world with the rest of 150mln of Chinese tourists.

we should be moving with confidence towards a future where jobs are for machines, everything is abundant and zero cost, the environment is protected and people do whatever they want with their lifetime. Leisure defines human dignity instead of work. These changes are mostly cultural and have got to be worked on urgently, we're losing time. This could have been acheived a lot sooner.

Nothing wrong with Robots doing the grinding. It makes product cheaper. More robots the better for human. We can focus on smaller and easier and safer tasks.
You can definitely see the cultural differences between the west and the east here. I China and the east technology is seen as helpful and people are proud. In the west people are cautious of technology and some are even luddites.
The truth is, absolute automation where all required work is done by robots and AI, won't really work for a capitalist system. If we give our money to companies for products/services but they don't return it in the form of jobs/wages then logically the wealth will rapidly consolidate which will kill the cycle and collapse the system. So, capitalism won't work with automation, hence our hostility to it. That said, unrefined communism and single party states are in more danger as greater wealth consolidated in the wrong officials hands could lead to the creation of a totalitarian state. A state with manufactured suffering/pain designed to bind a population. The only way is a combination of all current mainstream political systems, and significantly more global cooperation ending in a single global economy. No country is getting through this alone.
Well in an ethnically diverse place like US the ceos/corporate leadership may not feel the same social responsibility to ensure society as a whole benefits as the political and business leaders in these asian countries. Remember Asia tends to have more of a group/society mentality than in america where its more individualistic and more of a rat-race to get to the top.
There is a collective paranoia in the West about technology because they don't trust institutions or governments. In the East, people just aren't very bothered. While the US tries to bring coal jobs back, China forges on with solar power. While the US tries to bring manufacturing jobs back, China/Japan forges on with automation.
the problem is that the underlying economic and social system isn't set up for this change. if we continue in the same way without adapting and innovating new organisations and priorities the social problems and unemployment rate will be monstrous.
I think this could be a great opportunity, but also a great threat. Because of that I am happy to see videos like this one, since there's not enough discussion about this topic in my opinion. To properly benefit from automation, I think it's absolutely necessary to rethink our views on economics. We're gonna have a bad time adjusting these advancements to our current systems, but it could elevate us to a new level of freedom if we play our cards right and adjust our systems to the advancements we make.

Vincent Jones Believe what you want, but it tells something that it is lower. Why? Chinese people are not lazy people and I'm not even Chinese. Find me a Chinese in the U.S that is unemployed or poor.
Vincent Jones why is it so hard to believe? Chinese and East Asians in general have really good work ethics, when I was a kid in China, you're told the only way to get a better life is by doing good at school and find a good job. I remember distinctly that in one of my Elementary school class the teacher told us the story about Isaac Newton, she did not mention that he was born smart and is a genius, but she emphasized that Newton became the most important scientist in human history through hard work, even though this was wrong, but it does tell you the Chinese point of view.
estimates are as high as 38% for 2030 if you ask me we will have to replace the monetary model or we will end up repeating history and get a massive disenfranchised class revolting
Univerasal basic income is already here, the thing you all dont realize *YET* is that *YOU* are the currency. Information age? 4th industrial revolution? Clean energy? IOT?? The advent of IPV6, Blockchain, AI, autonomy?? 5G, eventually 6 or 7G?? All that means is all of this stuff needs DATA to learn and YOU are a living breathing continuous DATA PRODUCER. So YOU are the currency and the BASIC INCOME will be YOUR DATA supplying the UNIVERSAL system. Dont believe me? Cool but just remember this comment on this video when it all finally makes sense to you.
Freeing the people from the repetitive, day after day, labor intensive, boring jobs, is the holy grail of the robots. Freeing humans up to work with our brains!!!!
Well we humans have welded things that went to the moon and are in space right now. Welding will become more and more robotic but there will be a need for human welders well into the future. Source am a Redseal Welder with 11 years experience in oil, gas, potash, coal, forestry, agriculture, uranium, commercial city buildings and currently am in a shipyard producing ships for the Navy.
Welding safe? Where you get that from? You are inhaling dangerous smokes, it's worse than smoking a cigarette, and I haven't touched up with grinding nor using the flaming torch or how other welders flashes me time to time damaging my eyes over time.... How you get welding safe... Maybe Tig.... nahhh Tig ain't safe still with the smoke. You could try the ventilator but it won't stop all of it. If your work place have ventilator, but most companies don't use them because it cost them money and they don't care. It's not like I can just walk out and leave man! I need the job! I need the money! And it's the only good paying job near me unless you wanna work at McDonald's for 4 hours a day.
@@keithhunchuk3049 you are right but it will be more and more specialized as time goes on and eventfully with enough progress that to will be replace by robots.
I think that robots taking on more work is fantastic so long as those gains in productivity don’t go exclusively to the fewer hands that operate the robots given that automation is way more of an issue for displacing labor than outsourcing. Nations should be excited robots are doing work. This is entirely up to the governments, what their taxation is scheme is like and how they invest those gains back into the community.
I have just bought a robot for home floor cleanning, it is amazing! It is 100% automation and the home floor is spotless,exceps some cornors! Can't wait to see to skynet rising! lol
It's great that robots do the work, that's why we make them to make our lives easier, no need for jobs in the future, everything is automated and everyone gets the same income. Work will be available to those who want more and are willing to work for it.
You don't think robots will make better and faster mechanics than humans? Seems more than a little naive, but you never know what the future holds. Milton Friedman advocated for a comprehensive negative income tax, and I agree since today's automation is last century's mechanization.
Flight Jason That's a little short as argument. The number of things people of the past thought would NEVER be achieved, or that they would have even never imagined. You can be sure of something about our past, but not about what is coming. Maybe our specy will soon be eliminated = no more jobs for humans :\

That is obvious! A few rich and powerful people will eliminate poor irrelevant people so that they can enjoy the remaining ressources on earth for more generations.
If the goal is to build a better future, then we need to start taking care of the regional problems as it will be a much much bigger problem 50 years later.
The fact that the East is embracing robotics far more than the West is telling as to future production dominance. With AI capabilities and robotics exponentially improving this will be the greatest driver of technology well into the next generation, and beyond. It would be fortuitous for American tech firms and industry to lead in this field or we will not be the masters of this revolution but servants to it.
Yayaya123, No. Because robots replacing humans *without* UBI = robots producing goods for nothing, because people don't having money cannot afford what robots produce... Nothing complicated about it really.
@@Alexa27396 Robots won't replace every jobs. They'll just replace the jobs uneducated people do. It leaves plenty of people with salaries to buy the goods.
Yayaya123, Good luck keeping peace in your neighborhood, when all the "uneducated" people from it will lose their job. 👍 (I have to also mention that it doesn't happen over night, it happens gradually...until one day 10 years from now you realize how much different your neighborhood/your life was 10 years ago, better that is (if you can call what we have today "good" at all...)h
I remember as a teen, in downtown Portland, OR., back in the late 80s there was a man on a street corner. He was tall and looked like he stepped out of the show, "Twilight Zone". He waved his hands and said, the machines are taking over, the machines are taking over! He was sounding the alarm. People looked at him like he was crazy. He was right.....
China's promise is to rebuild a new silk road which expands Chinese trade market and the countries within, robotics will give people more freedom of choice and demonetization of labour and world economics and full automations can be reached in three to five years, but we humans need something new and new type of welfare that can help unemployment. In the near our normal work hours which is eight must be changed to six or four hours, since there is so much wealth in this world, people can enjoy better and more leisure time. Plenty of hours to learn Tai Chi, Qigong, Wushu and other classic martial arts.
This is what Jacque Fresco was talking about. Free all humans from repetitive and boring jobs and let them instead study sciences, explore ocean, space etc.
I think we should move in the opposite direction. Have teams of four lift 1.5 ton palettes with bamboo sticks, have workers dig ditches using only spoons and do all computation by slide rule. That should keep us all pretty busy!
yep, they just took a byte out of something... once they byte something 1024 times they start having kilobytes... and the ones with the biggest mouths, they have megabytes...
Since production demands consumption, there are 2 ways to handle accelerating automation: Tax production and distribute for consumption. Prevent automation monopolies by requiring displaced workers to own the automation
No government mandated minimum wage, no FMLA, no OSHA complaints, no unions, no workmen's comp, no sexual harassment allegations, no racial discrimination complaints, no maternity leave, no medical leave, no vacations, no mandated breaks/ lunches, no lazy employees that don't do any work...no wonder companies are replacing humans at such a rapid pace.
Not only that, the waiting time to park at the right bay door is over... An empty can can basically drive itself away once it has been offloaded. There's no more truck drivers with poor English trying to figure it out to whom to speak with to get the BOL signed...
The potential is huge , and this could be the step for defeat underpaid and dangerous jobs , but it can also turn in a disaster , it all depends on politics and managers . I hope this will finally give humans the freedom to don't worry about primary needs and concentrate on higher jobs or/and pleasure whiteout worries .
It is like he thinks he knows better and then reality isn't meeting his expectations. Instead of reevaluating himself he thinks reality is lying to him and his audience.
He interviewed someone who seemed to have exhibited ZERO empathy towards the idea of laying off his employees in favor of automation. I would have reacted the same way.
All the GOP has anymore is identity politics. Rural white folks who refuse to integrate into the modern world and their grievances against everyone else in the country who are moving forward into the future. Meanwhile progressives are all about building a fairer, wiser world for everyone through sustainable economics that work for everyone, while reforming the corruption that is a threat to everyone's wellbeing. The closest thing to identity politics on the left these days is Black Lives Matter, but they protest black cops killing white people and white cops killing white people too - they are more about "all lives matter" than All Lives Matter is.
Muricans aren't worried by no automation. Great leader Trump is going to destroy all the robots and open a bunch of coal plants, resolving all economy problems for generations to come.
6:41 The interviewer actually thought the workers weren't *allowed* to go back to being farmers lol. Also, nice cut at 7:22... This is one instance where there (perhaps regrettably) isn't much difference to how the American economy works. Nice segment overall though
I go for *universal basic income* , no matter what. There is just no need to force any hard work we don't want to. We can just go out, work what we want to, when we want. Isn't it great? Before you ask: UBI is affordable and can even relieve the environment.
Sam Mousa Thanks for your criticism, I appreciate & understand that (somewhat). But it isn't like I wouldn't expect people reducing an comment on the profile photo. It may come from the "Anime is for Kids only" faction, or the "4chan-badboys",.. It's just another way to put people in one drawer (how I would write in german). Just like skin color, or blond hair... You know what I mean.
Having worked with automated systems and AGV's for many years I would like to warn anyone who thinks robots are great what many users dont realize is once you robotize your system you are then locked to the supplier to support your system which is great for a few years but replacement parts are expensive then there are support contracts to enable 24/7 uninterrupted use and down time then obsolescence in a fast moving environment refitting updating is often required within 10 years some small companies will go bust and youll be left with it all to sort out yourselves like all new products the people selling will only tell you how great it is look deeper get independent advice get assurances in writing as to support prices and parts factor all that in before you buy
It seems that machines are now even starting to grasp the concepts of art and entertainment (at least as we perceive them). We - the masses - have to make sure that those who own the capital and the means of production don't end up owning labor as well.
With all the knowledge that we have now the problem of substituting workers with machines should be solved easily, and with the benefit for the workers ; all that is needed to do is thinking out of the boxes of greed, laciness, and false confort... with machines and robots doing the work humans should be free of tyranny to dedicate on getting back paradise on earth and becoming more creative than ever ...
I think China will be the last major economy to develop using cheap human labour, once the Chinese work force in low end manufacturing is replaced in China, the people will move to service industries, and the next generation is better educated thus more opportunities. BUT WHAT about the rest of the poor population in other countries waiting to get the low end manufacturing jobs from China? how can countries like india or African countries develop a robust manufacturing industry when they are competing with robots? Does that mean the proven model of being developed through manufacturing has come to an end?
This is the right way to go, automate the boring stuff. Free up work to let humans explore, learn, and expand their horizons. The thing that has to change is the structure of our Society and Economy.

Yang addresses this in a number of ways. He’s on top of it. Yang 2020. Not left. Not right. Forward.
Interesting video for sure
Interviewer: "Any resistance from the workers?" Corporate guy: "No. Because they have no choice." (Sez it all, don't it?)
its his company, He built it. He has every right to decide how to run it.
How dare he run his company the way he chooses to, he should totally run it like I and the International Socialist demands it! Those workers should totally arm themselves with AK47s and commit acts of mass murder. ALLAHU AKBAR! 👌
Belmont Kraft communism and socialism are atheists doctrines, so I don't think they will be shouting GOD is Great.
D-railed,
I know, I know. Now try looking at the bigger picture...
I suppose you are worried about workers. I think not. Your mind is on the money, loser
Andrew Yang’s proposal UBI is the way to go! Yang2020
Andrew Yang 2020!!! He speaks the truth!!!
Unemployment 4.6 percent now that's an eye opener.
Vincent Jones Believe what you want, but it tells something that it is lower. Why? Chinese people are not lazy people and I'm not even Chinese. Find me a Chinese in the U.S that is unemployed or poor.
Vincent Jones
why is it so hard to believe? Chinese and East Asians in general have really good work ethics, when I was a kid in China, you're told the only way to get a better life is by doing good at school and find a good job.
I remember distinctly that in one of my Elementary school class the teacher told us the story about Isaac Newton, she did not mention that he was born smart and is a genius, but she emphasized that Newton became the most important scientist in human history through hard work, even though this was wrong, but it does tell you the Chinese point of view.
estimates are as high as 38% for 2030
if you ask me we will have to replace the monetary model or we will end up repeating history and get a massive disenfranchised class revolting
That's right on. Our future depends on economic growth hello?
That is only because of how unemployment questions are stated.
totally agree, very responsible steps to be taken to regulate the increasing automation
this is where a universal basic income steps in
Yang gang 2020
Univerasal basic income is already here, the thing you all dont realize *YET* is that *YOU* are the currency. Information age? 4th industrial revolution? Clean energy? IOT?? The advent of IPV6, Blockchain, AI, autonomy?? 5G, eventually 6 or 7G?? All that means is all of this stuff needs DATA to learn and YOU are a living breathing continuous DATA PRODUCER. So YOU are the currency and the BASIC INCOME will be YOUR DATA supplying the UNIVERSAL system. Dont believe me? Cool but just remember this comment on this video when it all finally makes sense to you.
@Sir Pumpington Of Dumpenshire
if that's all it takes?
@Sir Pumpington Of Dumpenshire
this was not a serious reaction.
i wish it would be that simple!
Freeing the people from the repetitive, day after day, labor intensive, boring jobs, is the holy grail of the robots. Freeing humans up to work with our brains!!!!
"Large industrial robots that do dangerous things like WELDING"
Welding is not dangerous, but humans do it imprecisely and with varying results.
Well we humans have welded things that went to the moon and are in space right now. Welding will become more and more robotic but there will be a need for human welders well into the future. Source am a Redseal Welder with 11 years experience in oil, gas, potash, coal, forestry, agriculture, uranium, commercial city buildings and currently am in a shipyard producing ships for the Navy.
Welding safe? Where you get that from? You are inhaling dangerous smokes, it's worse than smoking a cigarette, and I haven't touched up with grinding nor using the flaming torch or how other welders flashes me time to time damaging my eyes over time.... How you get welding safe... Maybe Tig.... nahhh Tig ain't safe still with the smoke. You could try the ventilator but it won't stop all of it. If your work place have ventilator, but most companies don't use them because it cost them money and they don't care. It's not like I can just walk out and leave man! I need the job! I need the money! And it's the only good paying job near me unless you wanna work at McDonald's for 4 hours a day.
@@keithhunchuk3049 you are right but it will be more and more specialized as time goes on and eventfully with enough progress that to will be replace by robots.
The most important issue of our time is taxation on production resources. Share the money automation generates to state for distribution to population
Steam engine - Electricity - Information -> Now is robot, a natural progression.
You have to start showing links to the research done by MIT so that people who are interested could easily research this topic further
God its depressing how far behind we are in the US when it comes to robotics.
We're behind Asia in everything let's be honest.....
It's robotics, ML and 3D printing that will be the core of manufacturing in the next 20 years
I think that robots taking on more work is fantastic so long as those gains in productivity don’t go exclusively to the fewer hands that operate the robots given that automation is way more of an issue for displacing labor than outsourcing. Nations should be excited robots are doing work. This is entirely up to the governments, what their taxation is scheme is like and how they invest those gains back into the community.
I have just bought a robot for home floor cleanning, it is amazing! It is 100% automation and the home floor is spotless,exceps some cornors! Can't wait to see to skynet rising! lol
Robots could be very useful in underwater salvage recovery.
Absolutely. I also think fire fighting and other dangerous jobs would be a good application.
It's great that robots do the work, that's why we make them to make our lives easier, no need for jobs in the future, everything is automated and everyone gets the same income. Work will be available to those who want more and are willing to work for it.
if anyone is worried, consider the fact that these robots break down, someone needs to repair them. so learn how to be a robot mechanic /!
You don't think robots will make better and faster mechanics than humans? Seems more than a little naive, but you never know what the future holds. Milton Friedman advocated for a comprehensive negative income tax, and I agree since today's automation is last century's mechanization.
robots will NEVER displace all human labor
Flight Jason That's a little short as argument. The number of things people of the past thought would NEVER be achieved, or that they would have even never imagined. You can be sure of something about our past, but not about what is coming. Maybe our specy will soon be eliminated = no more jobs for humans :\
That is obvious! A few rich and powerful people will eliminate poor irrelevant people so that they can enjoy the remaining ressources on earth for more generations.
Meme ḍǿƗJPG,
Never? Maybe. But surely to an extent and soon enough to make it not you, your children homeless...
what an incredible time we live in
and here we are in the U.S worrying about immigrants.
oosveluzo levso R.I.P. Molly Tibbets
well that's just more competition
You praise competition then you refuse it
Its those immigrant robots ...
If the goal is to build a better future, then we need to start taking care of the regional problems as it will be a much much bigger problem 50 years later.
We are a six-axis force sensor manufacturer in Shenzhen, China, hoping to help foreign buyers.
This is why I vote for yang2020 for President. If you haven’t heard of him go check Andrew Yang and his policy out.
His policies are dumb and made for non educated people who believe those are great ideas to solve everyone problems
@@tehflooper actually his policies are too complicated for dumb people to comprehend.
The fact that the East is embracing robotics far more than the West is telling as to future production dominance. With AI capabilities and robotics exponentially improving this will be the greatest driver of technology well into the next generation, and beyond.
It would be fortuitous for American tech firms and industry to lead in this field or we will not be the masters of this revolution but servants to it.
We really need to start talking about *Universal Basic Income...*
Wisakedjak Archetype in Germany it started to get serious in 2005.
Why ? So stupid people that couldn't get an education live off the money provided by the smarter people ?
Yayaya123,
No. Because robots replacing humans *without* UBI = robots producing goods for nothing, because people don't having money cannot afford what robots produce...
Nothing complicated about it really.
@@Alexa27396 Robots won't replace every jobs. They'll just replace the jobs uneducated people do. It leaves plenty of people with salaries to buy the goods.
Yayaya123,
Good luck keeping peace in your neighborhood, when all the "uneducated" people from it will lose their job. 👍
(I have to also mention that it doesn't happen over night, it happens gradually...until one day 10 years from now you realize how much different your neighborhood/your life was 10 years ago, better that is (if you can call what we have today "good" at all...)h
For people cringing will become more important than at any other ages that people lived in.
To what end? What will they manufacture once all consumers are gone?
Can't wait for UBI!
"They'll get new jobs quickly", possibly, but what happens when those other companies replace their workforce with robots too?
Better Days new economic system is needed
You will see money system collapse wery soon
Do not afraid of change. It is on its way and you don't have a choice! !
Learn about Resource Based Economy!

I remember as a teen, in downtown Portland, OR., back in the late 80s there was a man on a street corner. He was tall and looked like he stepped out of the show, "Twilight Zone". He waved his hands and said, the machines are taking over, the machines are taking over! He was sounding the alarm. People looked at him like he was crazy. He was right.....
China's promise is to rebuild a new silk road which expands Chinese trade market and the countries within, robotics will give people more freedom of choice and demonetization of labour and world economics and full automations can be reached in three to five years, but we humans need something new and new type of welfare that can help unemployment. In the near our normal work hours which is eight must be changed to six or four hours, since there is so much wealth in this world, people can enjoy better and more leisure time.
Plenty of hours to learn Tai Chi, Qigong, Wushu and other classic martial arts.
This is what Jacque Fresco was talking about. Free all humans from repetitive and boring jobs and let them instead study sciences, explore ocean, space etc.
7:28 The rest of his sentence clearly got cut out.
I think we should move in the opposite direction. Have teams of four lift 1.5 ton palettes with bamboo sticks, have workers dig ditches using only spoons and do all computation by slide rule. That should keep us all pretty busy!
This age excites me
God Makoto it concerns me

*The robots look like they're eating*
yep, they just took a byte out of something...
once they byte something 1024 times they start having kilobytes...
and the ones with the biggest mouths, they have megabytes...
They are, humans.
they are eating humans
Why you do this 😱
lol..they work 24/7, they eat terabytes.
Since production demands consumption, there are 2 ways to handle accelerating automation: Tax production and distribute for consumption. Prevent automation monopolies by requiring displaced workers to own the automation
I for one welcome our robot overlords
There's a new world coming
high quality content, keep it coming WSJ
This is why we need Andrew Yang. Yang2020
ShopptimusPrime he dropped out
Now we're going to live as healthy as possible without disease and save the planet and have jobs that machines can do better.
They should make robots to replace the CEO and the owner of the company
No government mandated minimum wage, no FMLA, no OSHA complaints, no unions, no workmen's comp, no sexual harassment allegations, no racial discrimination complaints, no maternity leave, no medical leave, no vacations, no mandated breaks/ lunches, no lazy employees that don't do any work...no wonder companies are replacing humans at such a rapid pace.
The biggest impact is going to be truck drivers.
This year.
Next year, fast food and retail.
Things will move faster that's great.
Not only that, the waiting time to park at the right bay door is over... An empty can can basically drive itself away once it has been offloaded. There's no more truck drivers with poor English trying to figure it out to whom to speak with to get the BOL signed...
Not really, just write to legislator to ban self-driving truck, that is it.
Alex Tigre
yes most of them are gonna lose their job in 10 years time
The potential is huge , and this could be the step for defeat underpaid and dangerous jobs , but it can also turn in a disaster , it all depends on politics and managers . I hope this will finally give humans the freedom to don't worry about primary needs and concentrate on higher jobs or/and pleasure whiteout worries .
The Geopolitical Check out Andrew Yang! A presidential candidate talking about what you’re addressing
The Internet of Things (IOTA) might even enable secure machine2machine payments in the future.
Hallo wall Street Journal you are doing a great job. I need more theoretical videos on automation.
They should invent robots that can buy stuff, because people cant at some point in the future!
Alexa is already doing that for people... Lol
SurvivalSquirrel ..perfect
Are you really sure? It seems to be the opposite non offence but I m sure you buy much more than your grand father
Excellent work, congratulations yur Dream work
i dont like this guys judgemental face. as if he knows better then everyone else. his questions are something out of a 60 minutes show.
That's been a common complaint with stories he's done in the past.
It is like he thinks he knows better and then reality isn't meeting his expectations. Instead of reevaluating himself he thinks reality is lying to him and his audience.
This is so called "free speech", the interview was clearly "well clipped".
Cant you see the irony of your statement?
He interviewed someone who seemed to have exhibited ZERO empathy towards the idea of laying off his employees in favor of automation. I would have reacted the same way.
i love how the cut his response away at 7:29 w
Galactic Vortex Exactly where ever you are who ever are you have no choice. You have to go where ever the ride takes you.
Yea, I wonder what was the full response, I bet it wasn't as bad as it was made to sound.
All major political leaders in America are totally AWOL on this issue.
dems too busy playing identity politics. reps usually longer term thinkers though
All the GOP has anymore is identity politics. Rural white folks who refuse to integrate into the modern world and their grievances against everyone else in the country who are moving forward into the future. Meanwhile progressives are all about building a fairer, wiser world for everyone through sustainable economics that work for everyone, while reforming the corruption that is a threat to everyone's wellbeing. The closest thing to identity politics on the left these days is Black Lives Matter, but they protest black cops killing white people and white cops killing white people too - they are more about "all lives matter" than All Lives Matter is.
Muricans aren't worried by no automation. Great leader Trump is going to destroy all the robots and open a bunch of coal plants, resolving all economy problems for generations to come.
I'm not surprised "Muricans" aren't worried about automation. 72% of Americans, on the other hand are. Guess "Muricans" are the other 28%.
Check out Andrew Yang
the stuff you can make on a 200 dollar 3d printer alone is mind blowing.
They took our joooooobs!! they took ourr jeeeeooobs
6:41 The interviewer actually thought the workers weren't *allowed* to go back to being farmers lol. Also, nice cut at 7:22... This is one instance where there (perhaps regrettably) isn't much difference to how the American economy works.
Nice segment overall though
I go for *universal basic income* , no matter what. There is just no need to force any hard work we don't want to. We can just go out, work what we want to, when we want. Isn't it great?
Before you ask: UBI is affordable and can even relieve the environment.
Sam Mousa Thanks for your criticism, I appreciate & understand that (somewhat). But it isn't like I wouldn't expect people reducing an comment on the profile photo.
It may come from the "Anime is for Kids only" faction, or the "4chan-badboys",.. It's just another way to put people in one drawer (how I would write in german). Just like skin color, or blond hair... You know what I mean.
We need Universal Basic Income, communal apartments and residency permits!
Eff UBI... Quit being lazy asses and go learn a skilled trade. It's not expensive if you do a little research and planning.
UBI == Soylent green
"No energy system can produce sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it" (The Fifth Law).
Yes. But "energy" in this context is money or expensive human labour. And the wear and tear on the humans. (In china easily replaced, tho)
Having worked with automated systems and AGV's for many years I would like to warn anyone who thinks robots are great what many users dont realize is once you robotize your system you are then locked to the supplier to support your system which is great for a few years but replacement parts are expensive then there are support contracts to enable 24/7 uninterrupted use and down time then obsolescence in a fast moving environment refitting updating is often required within 10 years some small companies will go bust and youll be left with it all to sort out yourselves like all new products the people selling will only tell you how great it is look deeper get independent advice get assurances in writing as to support prices and parts factor all that in before you buy
It's time for Resource Based Economy (The Venus Project) ! ! !
*yes*
ROBOTS ROCKS
Better hurry up with a basic income, because jobs are getting scarcer, incomes are stagnating, while profits have have been sky rocketing.
No
So get exploited then. I'm not stopping you.
Definitely, basic income, re-training, and other programs. Crazy times ahead here.
It seems that machines are now even starting to grasp the concepts of art and entertainment (at least as we perceive them). We - the masses - have to make sure that those who own the capital and the means of production don't end up owning labor as well.
People are concerned with robots replacing unskilled labor but the easiest jobs to automate are skilled white collar desk jobs.
"They can easily get jobs!" Sure, for now. Won't always be true, bub.
Jobs in China is never ever a problem. At least, you can go construction firm if you have no expertise.
Chinese people normally work over 70 hours per week, with gross income of $1500/month. That’s why it’s easy for Chinese to find a job there.
With all the knowledge that we have now the problem of substituting workers with machines should be solved easily, and with the benefit for the workers ; all that is needed to do is thinking out of the boxes of greed, laciness, and false confort... with machines and robots doing the work humans should be free of tyranny to dedicate on getting back paradise on earth and becoming more creative than ever ...
There is nothing wrong with automation. There is something wrong with an economic system in which automation is a bad thing.
Very informative on new ways of selling products and services
Its ok, my workers have no choice O.O
When that hit him in the shoulder it hit pretty hard. I wouldn't want that in my eye.
Then put on your safety glasses.
I think China will be the last major economy to develop using cheap human labour, once the Chinese work force in low end manufacturing is replaced in China, the people will move to service industries, and the next generation is better educated thus more opportunities.
BUT WHAT about the rest of the poor population in other countries waiting to get the low end manufacturing jobs from China? how can countries like india or African countries develop a robust manufacturing industry when they are competing with robots?
Does that mean the proven model of being developed through manufacturing has come to an end?
We'll need to focus on education so these countries can be able to add value in this new economy... not an easy task
