its annoying that robots are going to take intellectual jobs before physical ones. it feels way more likely for my project manager to become an agent before the lady that makes me a burrito at chipotle.
- hn_throwaway_99 10d agoI think this is very true, but robots are definitely coming for the burrito makers, too. Bill Gates talks about this in his recent missive, but as robotic technology improves (and, perhaps more importantly, as the cost comes down) there will be huge competitive pressures for companies to replace workers with robots wherever they can.
- bluefirebrand 10d agoI don't get what the point of this is. Robot burrito makers for who, if no one has jobs and can afford burritos? Something very huge has to change before all of this happens
- SirMaster 10d agoWell doesn't it make sense to replace the more expensive worker first?
