    I for one cannot wait for robots to be able to do all the mundane tasks, like being a cashier or truck driver, så that people can work in sectors that produce more value per hour spent. This is just an opinion tho :)

      If these jobs become automated, that doesn’t automatically create more “high level” jobs. It just creates unemployment.

      Some people can’t handle a job any more complex. I worked at a payroll firm that had low paying clients. Before that, I never really understood how many stupid people there are.

      Fuck me, we went to sign up a new client and most of the people there were unable to read, struggled like hell with the online paperwork. Not saying they weren’t computer literate (they weren’t), they couldn’t make out the words on the screen.
