Hyundai adding jobs in America....fer robots!

[YoDoug]

Hyundai announced plans to build a new GA plant that will build a 100,000 electric vehicles a year. Lots of jobs needed. But there is a catch. They are buying tens of thousands of humanoid robots from Boston Dynamics.

The writing is on the wall. The future is Fucked! Most of us here will only see the beginnings of it. Our kids and grandkids will live in a "brave new world" type society and live of the scraps the overlords give.

I knew when I watched The Terminator that chit was going to get real.

When they asked Lutnick who was going to work all of those jobs, he did say "automation".  I don't know how many people it takes to service factory robots?

"the future "great jobs" will involve maintaining and repairing robots in these highly automated plants"

Until the robots and AI learn to build and repair themselves.

Well now you're just ruining it for everyone.   

Is UBI on the horizon? Maybe Andrew Yang wasn't so crazy after all? 

[JParis]

Just wait until the robots unionize

[YoDoug]

The major problem with this is wages now are set from the bottom up. The lowest skilled, lowest paying jobs are the start. Then as jobs add skill, education, and physical requirements the wages go up. When all the bottom jobs are gone, skilled jobs will be the new bottom. The pay will follow. There will also be that many more people trying to compete for them.

UBI, gov housing projects, etc. You will be given just enough to be a consumer so the big corps can get their money.

Just think Doug. With your vegan diet you'll live into the bad times. I'll already be dead. I got that going for me.

I dunno YoDoug...really feels like the Vegan diet is gone to your head

Now you're becoming a Marxist apparently

I'm not getting the impression that he's advocating for those things. I think this is more of a morbid prognostication?

Not at all, I believe in unity in defeating the elite class for our freedom, but not unity in a Marxist or other tyrannical gov.

I think too many people don't realize how close we are to this reality. They think it is some distant future 50 years from now. Tesla has a target of 2026 for it's Optimus robots to be for sale. Worldwide there are a dozen or more companies that will be selling humanoid robots within the next decade. We struggle to fill positions here. Probably 50% of our jobs are lower skill jobs. These could probably all be replaced by robots in the next decade.
