Shout out to the engineers for trying to think economically but I don't think these people understand how much of a problem unemployment can be. That's problem numero uno.
The second issue is that if a machine is making that many burgers in a short period of time then that means that farmers will have to supply more to the stores where they sell their ingredients...which means that farmers will have to grow tomatoes/lettuce/whatever at a faster rate. How do they propose to solve that problem?
If somehow they manage to solve that problem then what's gonna happen to earth's already pretty limited resources?Oh well, I guess that's some good news in a way because the reliance on Africa for agriculture is gonna increase at a much faster rate.
Automation is cool but there's nothing worse than a human being with too much time and not enough money in their hands. Societies get destroyed from within because of shyt like this.
Actually everyone would have a business in the community ran by bots. You have to keep being creative. Most people will independently employed with bots making them money while people can focus more on art, leisure, and sex. No need for big time social security as the robots are running our individual business until death comes.
Being creative is not a luxury most people have IMO. Perhaps I'm biased but a lot of the world has been built by human physical labor, while the creativity and creation of new things was left to a few individuals (always) who managed to have their names inked in history. So when you take physical labor away from humans I'm not so sure art, leisure, and sex can really fill up the void.
Not that I'm a psychologist but I believe there's a particular affinity for most men to do some labor in order to help/please the next man, when that is overtaken by robots what happens to that affinity? I think that's a valid question, because although it may go into other aspects of men's lives (such as leisure, and sex) it may also lead to a chaos due to a lack of "something" men used to have.
On the more optimistic side though: the world has been through so much change already, and we haven't destroyed ourselves yet. I guess one never really knows how the invisible hand works. Perhaps this new tech is gonna come mostly for the best. I honestly can't tell.
so far a dozen eggs is less than an hour of work for anyone. a dozen eggs used to be hours or even a days worth 200years ago and that is because technology improved...yet we have less farmers.
people have to adjust and things move faster than it did in the past, but we have adapted so far.....
