Dont mind me..Im a azzhole
Yes it is.
Creates cheap labor and eliminates the needs for human employment like wages, medical and PTO.
And nobody really gives 2 shyts about it.
Long as you get what you get when you ordered it.
My biggest concern with it is will politicians been smart enough to get out ahead of the issue and implement ubi or will they wait long after the devastating consequences.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
I hope.
Problem is there usually was a grace period be it centuries or a generation. Jobs/industries will pop up and get eliminated after a couple of years in the future.
Don't assume that new jobs being created is a given.
Uber was created, gives thousands of drivers jobs. Uber plans to automate their fleet subsequently eliminating most of those jobs in the span of what...10 years?
My fear is there will either be no jobs or just perpetual gigs that people have to find, but no actual careers. No industries.
Oh you can write? Write 4-5 articles for me for my website next week.
Oh you a carpenter? Come cut a few 2x4's for me on Tuesday.
Oh you can drive stick? Come drive this truck from A to B Saturday.
I need my bathroom painted. Swing over after I get this toilet and sink installed.
You're 6'5"? Come do security at this concert Friday for me.
This will lead to permanent societal underclass.

Change is inevitable...
Most people aren't even aware of economic trends and occurrences...they probably don't even know what automation is
Because the news ain't telling them to

Most aint talking because it's a combo of ignorance and cowardice...folks rather go along to get along with the "inevitable" rather than seem like the oddball questioning the negative effects on a society if a human is not able to earn a living
bubu pick your occupation OR adapt ...it's bullshyt to claim that automation and the recent advancements are similar to the past because unlike the past, the effects aren't bounded by an industry or an occupation...robots are learning to do surgery, let alone stocking boxes and computer programming. No one will be safe or off limits...maybe politicians
Climate change,
animal preservation efforts,
human rights,
DNA splicing,
cross species mating,
country borders
currency
...are a few examples to show that global and industry agreements or unified efforts, are possible. So demanding the same agreement towards a limited use of technology to protect humans isn't far-fetched

It can go one of 2 ways
1 we roll over and let it happen, take a few pennies from the government to keep us content, and sit around continuing to get fat and lazy gorging on media while the corporations continue to ruin the earth unimpeded.
Or
2 people take advantage of the free time to learn skills and knowledge that were thought lost to time. Begin growing our own food, fixing our own vehicles, and other things we look down on now and outsource to corporations. This resets the economy and provides a better scale where services are provided by the people in your neighborhood without having to go through corporations. Local farmers, local plumbers, local carpenters, local clothes etc.
I think option 1 will be the choice of major cities and 2 will be the choice of rural areas.
As the corporations work to lock down the cities, internet, news, and social media will be heavily censored to make the areas that don't submit look bad and to keep people from the cities ignorant to what's going on outside the city limits.
The corporate cities will probably launch a false flag to declare war on the other areas. Civil war 2 pops off and the damage slides the once great united states into 3rd world status.
