Tech Dystopia@lemmy.ml•Europol predicts a 2035 with no privacy, robot police, robots displacing workers, debates about "robot rights" and criminals commanding hundreds of drones simultaneously
1·7 hours agoMost jobs in history have already been automated, so I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. Farming has been automated, clothes making has been automated, copying books has been automated, message bearing has been automated, translation has been automated, art creation has been automated, article writing has been automated. Not all of these to the same standard, but the point stands.
The rest of your comment didn’t make any sense to me. Machines aren’t exploitable? They work for free, they just need energy, which costs much less than what human workers require. If they were conscious then we definitely would say they are exploited all the time.
So something can’t be called an x unless it meets every definition of x? I don’t think that’s how definitions work.

4·1 day agoYes, and the AI threat is also worse than everything mentioned in this article. The quote from the researcher at the very start is apt and should be taken 100% seriously.
StopTech@lemmy.todayOPtoNeo-Luddites@lemmy.today•Does technology provide more jobs than it takes away? A case study: The British Agricultural Revolution
1·1 day agoI agree there will still be some things that people can do that they find enjoyment in. But look at how people use their free time today. Do people who like gardening spend more time gardening or on non-productive things like watching TV/YouTube/TikTok? Do people who like playing musical instruments but don’t do it for work spend more time doing that or watching TV/YouTube/TikTok? What about people who like painting? Only a fairly small percentage of people do gardening, play music or paint, yet most people watch TV/YouTube/TikTok. Because passive (non-productive) pastimes are more attractive than active ones. Yet it’s passive pastimes that make people depressed and feel like their life is meaningless (at least when they are used for more than a couple of hours per day). In the future these can be even more attractive with virtual reality and involvement of the other senses, including sexual stimulation.
I expect if people no longer have to work then even people who continue to have passionate hobbies will not want to spend more than 50% of their time awake on them. And since they will no longer have to prepare any food, clean the house, manage finances or do anything, the remaining 8 hours of their day (assuming they don’t sleep excessively - also bad for mental health) will be on purely passive pastimes. And currently people spending less than half this time on social media are already depressed.

11·1 day agoI don’t see what the contradiction is in what I said there and my other comment.
In a world where everything is done better and easier by machines I have a hard time imagining people wanting to spend years of their life learning how to program, how to paint, how to make furniture, how to do science and so on. Hardly anyone makes complicated software in assembly code now that we have higher level programming languages. Hardly any farmers don’t use machinery. Hardly anyone mills grain by hand. People in developed countries don’t wash their clothes by hand. People don’t do things that we can now automate. Those things that everyone used to do now feel like way too much hard work. So I don’t understand why you would think people would still break their backs to do productive things when others are getting better results by asking a robot to do it.

13·1 day agoeven if we get to that point technologically
We’re pretty much already there. We have robots. They have AI. Most jobs aren’t that complicated - a good proportion could probably be replaced by robots with small improvements in dexterity, predictability and human interaction. Robots just need to become cheaper to make and run which market competition, mass production and nuclear power will gleefully enable.
capitalists have no workers to steal surplus value from
They don’t need to get value from human workers, they can get that from robots. Money is only a means to goods and services. Robots can make the goods and provide the services. Lower class people won’t be needed at all. Even the purchases can mainly be done by the wealthy and businesses. Lower class people will not only be uneccessary but entirely non-beneficial to this economy. The only reason those in power might have to keep them around is to inflate their egos by making them prostrate in exchange for their UBI.

1·1 day agoWhere did I say otherwise?
You may not need external pressure for some things but you still need motivation. And I think motivation would be very rare in a society where everything can be done by robots with a simple request.

11·2 days agoI think it’s quite obvious that for someone to do something that they know will take a lot of effort they will need some motivation to do it. Anybody who did anything did it out of necessity, some perceived benefit to someone or some personal interest in doing it. Nobody ever dug a hole for no reason unless they were extremely bored and had nothing else to keep them occupied but a shovel and some dirt.
