So what happens when robots replace all jobs and do everything? Will capitalism collapse?
Some kind of socialism seems to be inevitable. Not because of some Marxist workers revolution, but because of robots.
Robotic factories collectively owned that produce all goods necessary for society for free.

New professions will arise as the old ones become obsolete, as it always has.
If history is any guide, there will be a massive migration to industries that don't yet exist, but it will be tumultuous and plenty of people will be hurt by the transition.
Over 50% of Americans used to be farmers in 1800, but the industrial revolution reduced the need for human labor, so the proportion of farmers dropped dramatically. All those displaced workers then entered the manufacturing sector rather than starving to death.
Basically the free market will find a use for all the unused human capital if there is enough time to adapt.
Who knows? Maybe a huge proportion of the trucking/shipping industry will be replaced by automated driving systems, but maybe Congress passed a law that all automated cars must have human oversight. Then a trucker becomes more like a manager - how do I pilot these 10 trucks most efficiently from the office?
Never gonna happen, jews don't want to lose the cattle mentality imprintrd on the people/ people are fooled into thinking a JOB is necessary for their lives.
That's when they unleash the global plague m8.
Probably through the GM food or some such tinfoil conspiracy that'll eventually be proved correct when its too late. Chemtrails etc they've been practicing. It's why they've building all these deep underground bases on the qt.
So basically instead of fostering and encouraging a technocratic Utopia, laws will be passed so capitalism is preserved and people are still forced to work basically pointless jobs?
>New professions will arise as the old ones become obsolete, as it always has.
thinking like this is kinda the problem. Creating work just for the hell of it is pretty gay. By all means, if there is productive work needing done then it should be expected it is done by those on bennies. But not all work is productive and in the not too distant future, there will be very little work that can be done more productively than humans than robots.
Yes if robots do all capitalism collapses.
there are people who are paid to manage youtube channels, facebook sites, and twitters.
think about that for a second.
they reduce the world population to 500 million consumer slaves with no history culture or identity beyond the products they buy and sports teams they support (all owned by the same people).
Because FB and co are massive. Employing people to do menial shit makes them look good. Certainly a degree of nepotism to it too.
That's not really what I'm saying at all. Not all laws are pointless bullshit, user. Its obviously a good thing that the government creates "useless" jobs by inspecting restaurants for cleanliness and investigating building construction to prevent collapses of building.
Ok...now where do the 99.999% of the remaining 500 million get their money to spend on those things when there are literally no jobs left.
You're confusing profession and jobs. Most professions are superfluous, but all jobs are necessary.
How would jobs becoming automated cause capitalism to fail?
how else do you think 16 year olds make money today?
>robots replace
fucking jew lie
where are they getting their money now? what is money anyway?
Better start grow your garden.
cut grass? shovel snow?
Because unless you give basic income, A lot of people losing theirvjobs to robots=A lot less consummers.
>cut grass
>doesn't understand the nepotism involved in that
>shovel snow
>because people actually get paid to shovel snow year around in Baton Rouge
Gas yourself.
There would also be a lower cost.
Depends if our nations side with the public or not and if our nations win the war against corporations.
It might be terminator 2 judgement day except instead of sky net sending the robot orders it's the 1%.
Ideal world:
>robots do all the work
>post-scarcity society
>money is meaningless as food and material is easily made and available
>everyone has everything they want provided by society
>peace on Earth
Reality:
>Robots run everything
>Gov/Corporations want to keep power
>Less jobs/economies crumble
>People revolt
>NWO
I think it depends how far aoutmation goes. Currently mpeople with little to no formal qualification can still find work doing something that doesn't require much in the way of skills or training. But if these jobs are automated (think driver, check-out clerk, fast food) then you have a massive chunk of people unskilled and out of work. Sure it's impossible to call anything for sure. But with increasin population and fewer and fewer new jobs being created, I see a breaking point. I mean can you envision a new profession or opening in the market that will in the near future employ substantial numbers of people productively? The human skillset is losing market value and I think this will only get worse.
There will be a huge drive to reduce the birth rate, so we will end up with a population that is smaller than now and mainly people over 50 because human life spans are extending there is no need to keep reproducing if the older folk are not dying and in good health. You would only need a few thousand births a year to keep the population at a stable turnover rate.
you are mentally retarded
print out sign for cutting grass. put it up at grocery store.
how hard its that?
money is money shovel show when it snows.
stop being a picky ass faggot and put some work in
Imagine, Tomorrow, Mcdonald go "Alright, Robots are moving in." And they progressivly kick out all their employees, A&W, Domino pizza, Subway follows, Until the last fast food employing people are cliche food shops like "Cafe 80"
Yep. Basically the persistence of the 40 hour work week despite productivity being higher now than it ever has been is evidence of that.
The USA could EASILY get away with a 30 or even 20 hour work week right now.
i think communism could work if the workers are robots
OK, I'm imagining that. Now what?
every human has a designated robot to work for them
robot gets hired, human collects check
spend day living the dream
Im an engineer and have thought about this a lot. Im actually working on a project that will make some people redundant...
The thing is, labour becomes infinite, dropping demand and price; but
>resources are still be finite, and constantly more scarce
Whatever we do, there will be a system to decide who gets what, and merit does seem the most fair way to decide. Problem is, merit doing what? Vidiogame fights? Kek
Robo-Feudalism
The capital will shift from automated jobs to people who do other menial work, just like before. All kinds of (what people would consider nowadays) silly jobs existed before that were mechanized or automated throughout the centuries that people don't even realize today because they are so used to not see a human do it now.
>reach singularity
>robots turn into leftist commies trying to overthrow the human bourgeois
>mfw
Basically it means nobody has a job or money to spend on anything except for the ownership class and the whole system comes tumbling down.
Sorry about grammar mistakes, im a bit drunk. Hard week
>Baton Rouge
Wanna fuck my pussy?
How is that a collapse of the system?
Because when people can't work to feed themselves a massive chimpout will occur. How do you not understand this?
How many people do these huge food chains put to work, And don't tell me "They can all become Robot repairman" Because even with just 1 man for 15 Robots, That's not enough robots for a single man.
So now, You got 14/15 people (Working in fastfood chains) without a job, And that won't get one because migrants flood the market. Sure, Your bigmac will cost lower, But those people will just have an incredibly tough time finding a job, Since other places will start automating too
Most Trade jobs, where people work on a job sites, can not be replaced by robots.
I dont see how a robot could ever run wires, put in windows, HVAC, or weld on a job site working on the outside of a building 40 floors up.
If you work in an office or factory robots and software could easily replace you, that's just life.
I want off the ride
The present owners of capital will carry on as if nothing has changed. Wealth disparity will widen unless they become charitable or laws are passed divesting them of ownership.
...
Maybe. I'm struggling imagining what that menial work can be though. I mean if we go full dystopian, all those not involved in designing or running the machines will end up as playthings for the rich. Whores and jesters everywhere. Unless sexbots...
OK, so those people will either find a way to make money, or die. I don't see how that is capitalism collapsing.
...
Everybody loves puppers.
My ex-Bernie sense is getting trigerred by this post.
This is the same argument that was tried during the industrial revolution. Man's wants are infinite, and while we still want things there will always be something to do.
I've fount the solution: Shitposting offices.
Just because you don't see it, it doesn't mean it couldn't (or even doesn't) exist. Examples:
Brick walls: youtu.be
Bridges: youtu.be
Welding: youtu.be
And others. It's only a matter of programming logic.
Building robots will be filthy cheap to build so I can see farmers having robots that do the laundry, and laundryhouses-owners having food robots. Professions will shift from being job-centered to hobby-centered.
Planet of the Apes tier chimpouts.
>Millions of people will just lay down and die when robots can literally do everything for free
top kek
As if this is hard? Those are some of the biggest sites on the global internet. They are so wildly successful that there aren't many alternatives, thus everybody with a computer seems to use them.
I can't believe they used "behind blue eyes" for the credits and sources part
What a great documentary
>Professions will shift from being job-centered to hobby-centered.
This is where I see an issue. Not everybody's hobby will make bank. Not everyone will become grandmaster of their chosen vocation. This is why I think we need some kind of UBI in the not too distant future.
and I dont see anything i was talking about.
I dont see robots installing curtain wall systems on skyscrapers / tall buildings, caulking gaps, and putting in office glass walls, glass store fronts, and glass doors.
I dont see robots running wires, install outlets, switches, running wire through walls and floors
I dont see robots running HVAC, installing vents, running them through walls and floors, and AC/Heating units.
I dont see robots running pipes, installing sprinkler heads, and cutting holes in the floor to run pipes through.
***ON JOB SITES** not in factories
I didn't say anything about bricks layers because that is easy as shit to automate
I didn't say anything about install roadways or railway because that is also easy to automate
There ARE trade that will NEVER be replaced by robots.
Not yet you don't. But it's silly to think you never will.
Mediocre people make money off their work every day, the difference is that they will work to pay for robots that do things that they pay others to do today. There will be a lot of room for programmers in the future, professionals or not.
>it's only a matter of programming logic
It doesn't exist NOW because the automation era has only really started. At one point or another, all the things you listed will be automated in one way or another, either by robots, or 3D printers, or pre-built houses, or whatever.
unless its a human robot with AI that can solve problems on the fly, which will not happen in my life time or my kids.
to many small complicated movements and to many problems a rise for a robot to do these things
we will all be forced into using self driving cars before that even happens.
The last thing to be automated will be complicated Trade jobs that where tradesman install stuff on job sites.
t. tradesman on job site
But its not a question of if. It's a question of when and this is what this thread is focuses on.

i fully expect the elite to kill the vast majority of us off and enslave the rest
i'm surprised they haven't done it yet. they seem to be trying a slow burn instead of a quick extermination
why would the elite want to share their wealth with us? they've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they hold nothing but contempt for the 99%
tldr we're dead
They have.
Agreed. We discussed that with friends a lot and came to the same conclusion - there will be a serious depopulation.
I guess, they are not ready yet. There should be a one world government first, then every possible rebelion suffocated. Then we'll be wiped out.
WW3 would help. US just passed it so women can be drafted. That's the first step. Maybe its coming.

Everyone hates em
Sure
what kinda engineer senpai
Yes. Time to wake up, capitalism is outdated by now
Sure, the world needs a lot of experts in women studies and things like that
I'm a construction worker. Robots will never replace me
I'm a machinest. It won't be even remotely feasible for "robots" to do what I do for at least 100 years (if ever). The nuances of troubleshooting, offsetting/work shifting tooling and recognizing tool wear and breakage are beyond the scope of AI.
>(if ever)
come on dude
