I hope everyone's stocking up on freeze dried food etc. I bet that's a good business to get into right now.

When Ubergooglecar moves to Europe people are gonna go ballistic and push them off bridges. It's gonna be hilarious to watch them riot and prot st about robots taking thier jobs IRL instead of just in movies.

I mean they throw bricks at Uber cars with people in them right now! Put a johny cab driver in there and they are gonna set them on fire.

Orror I totally agree w/ you but also am sure it's gonna rustle the shit out of a lot of people.

am not sure the economy will fail before the russian nukes come raining down.

Stop worrying. The lot of you remind me of ruminating depressants. Most of you probably know being constructive and thinking about things you can actually improve or change is the key to happiness. So do that.

Robot took your job? Find a new one. Maybe break a few windows and go behind bars a while if you must.

The other poster is right, but not really. AI and robots won't replace everything. The rich aren't going to feel sorry for the displaced workers and just give hand outs. That may happen in small amounts, but it's not the real reason people will survive. The reason they will is because people aren't given enough credit for overcoming obstacles. People are going to integrate with AI and improve their mind and find new jobs. People are going to change psychologically. AI/robots/etc can't do everything.

If somehow people in 2015 time traveled into 2068 then yes it'd be a problem.

I think that's half its problem, gotta be difficult trying to start wars/steal oil/help arms dealers at the same time as be the face of democracy and tolerance.

Well, if you look at the entire world during the 20th century, the only countries where large numbers of people were killed off by their own people were the communist countries. So how about we don't go communism, and then we can continue creating new labor saving devices without the need to murder millions?
