Armies of Expensive Lawyers, Replaced by Cheaper Software

This has been happening. They don't need as many lawyers anymore because a lot of document analysis has been taken over by computers. This is just one of the factors hurting those in the profession. They already have low law employment rates out of school unless you go to a t20 school. I think you're being rather short sighted with this. Tech will create more tech jobs, but they do more with less.



This is definitely true. Tech will just speed up the process. I'm not preaching some doomsday conspiracy theory or anything, but we need to be prepared for the lessening of work available for people due to automation, streamlining, and efficiency.

I've said this since I knew anything about UBI or capitalism, socialism, etc., someone has to take out the trash and sweep the floors. Everyone isn't capable of becoming a doctor or engineer. If we replace these peoples livelihoods with machines what will they do? Just like this college bubble, everyone wasn't meant to go, that's why degrees have become so devalued. That's another thread, but anyhoo...

Capitalism thrives on doing more work with less people. If you think they're not looking to replace the majority of workers you're mistaken!

Spoiler

hopefully the zombie apocalypse happens before any of this can take place

Read the article. Thats just database software to find articles, not actually dping the job of lawyers. Like I said - not happening.

By keeping their prices disgustingly low, it prices everyone out and eradicates competition,

wal-mart does the same thing

That wont be Ubers concern though, they want driverless cars because the car will pay for itself in no time.

Yeah...aiiiighhhttt bring them shyts to St.Louis




Uber manager : So let me get this straight they ordered 12 uber cars to MLK Blvd

You do know the majority of law work is research? Most of this is done from documents. Computers can read documents faster than humans...

I don't know how to explain this any differently. It pretty much summed up the state of things in the first two paragraphs.

I need them to bounce back, just started doing this uber stuff. I need it, please stick around uber

Better start glancing at other career choices my nikka

honestly America will probably face some kind of damn lower class revolution once automation becomes a norm, and America really ain't trying to see the current population going brazy all together. They're gonna need a more pussified liberal crowd before they start making moves like that, people they can stifle

Why do you think their pushing gag and tranny rights normalization on people?

Why so you think they are legalizing weed after a century of criminalization?

They want people passive or high so they won't revolt

Here in Chicago Uber will lease you the car. I believe my cousin pays 700/mo (i know) and can use the car however he pleases as long as he works his schedule. He claims to make about 1000/wk .

Mother of God

R&D costs and apparently they take losses in certain cities like San Francisco where they give drivers bonuses and stuff

 

[GoldCoastSaint]

What the hell is he driving for $700/mo? Please tell me it's a luxury car...

Nope! Its a 2016 Toyota Corolla I believe lol. He has bad credit and he says he still makes it out at the end of the month so..

That's that deal though

That payment covers insurance, and if ur ubering insurance is like $300 x month.

You also have to keep in mind with a typical lease your doing 12k miles per year. If your uberring your doing like 50k miles per year. Obviously your devaluing the car much faster with uber

If he makes the payment every month, I guess I can't say anything lol

I def couldn't do that.

I def couldn't do that.

You wouldn't need to if your weren't drinking 5k miles a month and requiring special liability insurance to protect your customers

nikka stop. I've worked for the NYC Law Department before. It's just database searching. You have to be a rock solid moron to think computers can do half of what lawyers do. Good luck thinking robots have the neural capacity to twist logic and interpret the wording of legal documents. Then you expect them to represent you in court?

Breh just stop. I went to school for Computer Science and took advanced classes in AI and Formal Languages. The stuff you linked in both articles is really basic compared to what you THINK could happen. We've just gotten to the point that stand still robots can mimic some human motions realistically. We're no where close to them replacing waitresses yet alone lawyers.
