Will everyone code? Or become repair technicians? Or will everybody be in a medicinal field? How much automation in society is too much?

We'll be plugged into the Matrix as a power source for the machines.

Half of this country doesn't even work right now as it is. Not much will change. Just more money taken from those who produce and given to those who Vote Correctly.

I mentioned this in one of the threads the other day. I feel for young people, cause a lot of jobs won't exist that exist today, will be done by machines.

If you had ever worked in, on, or around machinery of any kind you would realize how silly this question is.

Automation generally increases output and productivity but as far as being able to replace a human it isn't the case in all but the most specific manufacturing tasks.

Netflix, Hulu, tikTok, wait on my check.

Pretty much what we are already doing for the most part save the few of us (80 million at least) that enjoy independent thought.

Compared to 100 years ago, just about everything is automated. Lots more things are automated now than 25 years ago.

People keep talking about "when everything is automated" when that shite has been creeping for a century.

Tractors and cotton gins automated farming, costing millions of jobs.

I'm all for automation, but it's here and has been here for a long time. This is not futuristic.

Somebody will have to maintain and repair robots. Or maintain and repair the robots who maintain and repair robots.

Those are long term questions - everyone won't code because basic, repetitive coding can be automated. There will be a some positions that require coding, but not some massive amount.

Anything requiring nimble fingers, a very wide ranging skillset and non-repetitive tasks are insulated against automation.
