    It will design the machines to build the autonomous robots that mine the cobalt… doing the jobs of several companies at one time and either freeing up several people to pursue leisure or the arts or starve to death from being abandoned by society.

      Have you seen the real fucking world?

      It’s gonna make the rich richer and the poor poorer. At least until the gilded age passes.

      You know EXACTLY which one it’s gonna be.

      It isn’t the intelligence of the machine designer that is the issue, it is the middlemen and the end user.

      Continuously having to downgrade machines. Wouldn’t want some sales rep seeing something new.

          Work a blue collar job your whole life and tell me it’s possible. Machines suck ass. They either need constant supervision, repairs all the time, or straight up don’t function properly. Tech bros always forget about the people who actually keep the world chugging.

            They suck because your employer wouldn’t pay me more for a better machine. Chemical is where it is at, outside of powerplants and some of the bigger pharms the chemical operator is a dead profession. Entire plants are automated with the only people doing work are doing repairs or sales.
