soon things like this will be everywhere in our lives, on subscription, and can turn into police or military at any time like an agent smith. sleep tight!
Or just running down the street looking for an electric outlet to plug into
How do I subscribe when the robot took my job?
if you look at how many people will need to try to find new jobs after AGI and mass human robotics, its devastating. i've seen estimates in the tens or hundreds of millions.
just self driving cars alone could cause a global depression.
Taxis / Uber, food delivery, truckers, towing, garbage collection, construction hauling, couriers, bus drivers, etc, etc. I agree this will be devastating at first. But it really doesn't have to be in the long run. As a society we need to stop equating someone's value to their labor.
