    PREDICTION: : There is going to be a harder push for the public to buy smart/AI glasses. Companies will train robots to do trade jobs by using data from smart glasses.

    No vacation/sick time to pay for. No benefits to pay for. Less work for HR. No unions. No liability. Lots of dreams to sell the public that never live up to the promises. <-- this is why people hate AI, along with the data centers.

      Part of the problem for them is that most of that work involves input that they don’t have a means to capture.

      Think of manual work that becomes too difficult or impossible just by wearing gloves and dulling the touch sensation, and even then you still using how it feels as a significant input. Also output is far more complex and not instrumented, and camera footage doesn’t cut it.

      This is why driving is, comparatively, easier for the machine learning approach. The vast majority of input is visual, some audio. The only outputs that matter are the turn of a wheel and actuating a couple of pedals.

      They’ve been trying with remote operation (the glasses don’t do it, but remote operation ensures all input and output can be captured), but it’s just really hard to remotely do a lot of this stuff without just being able to touch and feel things through.

      Open ended manual work is going to be actually trickier than “knowledge work”, and knowledge work isn’t exactly fantastic as it stands yet either.

      Before that prisoners will be operating machinery remotely from their cells. Then they will reintroduce debtors prison.

      We always needed to charge for automation. McDonalds kiosks should have to pay the tax as if they were hourly workers. They would still save on the remaining wages, the sick days and leave.

        I didn’t even think about taxes. Good point. I bet companies would probably also get some sort of substantial tax write off. I don’t understand the end goal of AI and robots do everything.

          Ideally automation makes it so we as a people need to work less, a universal basic income is generated through the taxation of automation.

          Realistically the powers that be, facists and pedos, will emable their peers to pay less for more until we battle for who gets employment.

            UBI likely wont happen anytime soon, since poor people make better Conservative voters, and thats what american regime wants, easy to manipulate into low-wage only jobs, added bonus of being fodder for the armed forces and LEO.

              America is a force for evil, I dont expect anything decent, groundbreaking, progressive or intelligent to come out of there.

              I am hopeful for countries that havemt been playing life on easy and still throwing their toys out of the pram
