We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    Then we have reached post scarcity. People won’t have to work anymore. Also, no way that’s happening. There will always be jobs to do.

      There are always jobs to do for the people who can get them. However, if robots and AI take all the jobs, then people can’t get jobs.

      And, in a “post scarcity” world, do the people who control the robots and AI get to keep all of the money and food, or do you have a plan for that?

        So there will be a different system once there are no jobs to do and people can do whatever the fuck they want. The reality is you are thinking of something that won’t happen for the next 2 centuries at least. There might be jobs that won’t ever be automatized. Right now, a single robot was mowing a park. Somehow from this we’ve jumped to “robot is replacing mowing” - to which the logical answer is “so use robots for mowing and find a job that is still needed”. The next jump to “nobody gets jobs” is a way bigger jump than the previous one and nothing that any of us needs to worry about.

          This is just the beginning. Two centuries? More like 20 years, the technology is improving at an exponential rate.

          As a society we need a plan.

            Yeah, and people in the 50s thought there will be flying cars in the year 2000. The tech isn’t there yet and is approaching physical limits. Even if, being scared of “I won’t need to work anymore” is silly.
