Can you imagine a world where nobody has to work? A world in which people are free — really free, to pursue their hobbies and their interests. A world in which people don’t have to decide between watching their children grow up and working to provide for them. A world without poverty and the pressure to earn money. A world without bullshit jobs that have no use and purpose whatsoever. This vision, this utopia, is called fully automated luxury communism. What is it?
And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future

A form of basic income scheme is a step toward that future. The question if the government is the appropriate vehicle to implement and fund it is a different topic.

I will say that anyone who knows how to code or is learning how to, keep doing so. Navigate things well and you'll be the god of the new world for a good period of time as AI augments your abilities.

For now I see the cloud being a place for the workforce if you are not down to spend years of your life learning to be an engineer. I'm not down for that I, instead, want to have something chill while I build up a business and invest in these new crypto that is worth checking out per FT. I plan to get started in cloud work so as to get a chill job that lets me also analyze how everything is developing in our society. I'm not sure if anyone else sees other possible places that will become workforces as both white collar and blue collar get shaken up in this decade? There is bound to be some places that start having trends before they get announced to everyone as to where opportunities will lay for getting new age work.

Making sure the government sends us our weekly basic income check on time is the only "job" we'll have as citizens in society. :lol:

Hell naw man lol. The US military was a great example of that sort of basic income check and I can say I want to never again be subject to such an experience. The problem with UBI is that it will come with stipulations and unlike the military there is not a very socialist or social program involved with it. At least in the military UBI was paired with dental, housing, etc though it was not the best of course. In the civilian world it won't make a damn difference if everything is so dang expensive. I prefer to have UBI be a source of income flow not income itself!

A robot will soon be making your tortilla chips at Chipotle.

Addressing his company's partnership with Chipotle, Miso Robotics CEO Michael Bell told "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," Friday the tortilla chip-making robot will combat the labor shortage in the U.S. and suggested that "automation is the solution."

"The restaurant industry had a labor gap before the pandemic… the pandemic just accelerated this big gap between the number of jobs and the available labor," he remarked.

Bell stressed that the labor shortage isn’t "going away soon," and mentioned that there is a big demand to automate tasks in restaurants.

How to Compete with Robots
April 13, 2022

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/949485

Introduction:
(Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne via EurekAlert) When it comes to the future of intelligent robots, the first question people ask is often: how many jobs will they make disappear? Whatever the answer, the second question is likely to be: how can I make sure that my job is not among them?

In a study just published in Science Robotics, a team of roboticists from EPFL and economists from the University of Lausanne offers answers to both questions. By combining the scientific and technical literature on robotic abilities with employment and wage statistics, they have developed a method to calculate which of the currently existing jobs are more at risk of being performed by machines in the near future. Additionally, they have devised a method for suggesting career transitions to jobs that are less at risk and require smallest retraining efforts.

"There are several studies predicting how many jobs will be automated by robots, but they all focus on software robots, such as speech and image recognition, financial robo-advisers, chatbots, and so forth. Furthermore, those predictions wildly oscillate depending on how job requirements and software abilities are assessed. Here, we consider not only artificial intelligence software, but also real intelligent robots that perform physical work and we developed a method for a systematic comparison of human and robotic abilities used in hundreds of jobs", says Prof. Dario Floreano, Director of EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent System, who led the study at EPFL.

The key innovation of the study is a new mapping of robot capabilities onto job requirements. The team looked into the European H2020 Robotic Multi-Annual Roadmap (MAR), a strategy document by the European Commission that is periodically revised by robotics experts. The MAR describes dozens of abilities that are required from current robot or may be required by future ones, ranging, organised in categories such as manipulation, perception, sensing, interaction with humans. The researchers went through research papers, patents, and description of robotic products to assess the maturity level of robotic abilities, using a well-known scale for measuring the level of technology development, “technology readiness level” (TRL).

For human abilities, they relied on the O*net database, a widely-used resource database on the US job market, that classifies approximately 1,000 occupations and breaks down the skills and knowledge that are most crucial for each of them
Don't mourn, organize.

This is probably the main reason for a minimum income for all humans in our society. No one should be homeless! No one should be totally without the ability to eat either within my opinion...How does it benefit society to allow either? It simply doesn't. It cost more for people to be homeless in our society and they're less able to pay taxes and provide for the economy.
