Robot hookers????

The possibilities are endless

Program it to always say yes

Hookers rarely, if ever, say no.

You're a robot?

No but sometimes it might be nice.

Robots will have some or majority of the jobs do you fear it such as in the twiight zone do you think your job or any are safe!!!!!!!

No they won't. People with robot partners will have the majority of jobs in 2040-2050. Robots will have all the jobs in 2100 and later...

Don't let their intended purpose stop you.

I think we over estimate how smart computers are.
The key for computers taking jobs is rote tasks versus thinking.

Computers are great at doing rote tasks but terrible at thinking.

If your job requires a lot of decisions or thinking. Then computers right now can’t do your job and probably won’t be able to do it in 30years.

Computers may never learn how to think.

But sure if computers get the ability to “think” they could realistically do all jobs. None would be safe.

I have to say if computers take all jobs that would potentially free human beings up to do other things. Work isn’t our core function as people. So potentially our world would be wealthy enough with robots doing the work and human beings pursuing other passions.

true and if we dont fight back together we will be very poor and a few rich people will be the primary beneficiaries of this new tech as they currently are.

It's far more complicated than that. The wealthy won't have a way to sustain their wealth if there is no one who can buy what they are selling. If total automation happened, the people who own the machines would be able to provide for their own basic needs, and make pretty much anything they want. Once they've made everything they want, the production robots would be moth-balled, because there would be no one else who could buy anything.
It would pretty much be a self-correcting problem, if the problem ever came to be to begin with.

economists say we are heading towards a neo feudal economy.

orwell also described this type of economy in 1984.

i agree with you the system wouldnt work but that doesnt mean it would self correct either.

People will continue to exist, and their needs won't go away. The owners of the means of production won't need workers, but they will still need buyers. No workers = no buyers = no wealth. Automation will implode if it gets to that point. Capitalism will renew itself, as even Marx acknowledged it could do indefinitely.

Tax business. Distribute as universal income.

I look at the way technology is supposedly taking over functions at UPS and I'm not too worried.
