we could program machines to stack masonry blocks or line up girders and weld them together

but i cant imagine a robot solving the unpredictable problems you encounter when wiring or plumbing a building, unless we can convince people to eat ze bugs and live in ze pods

construction jobs of any type really are kinda like the challenge of self driving cars, there is always going to be something that you can't plan for, so you can't program a machine to do the job 100% of the time

i havent heard anyone in the tech realm talk about how you would program the ability to reason

I am more worried about what’s going to happen to my job with any potential federal Medicaid changes. I had thought we were funded exclusively by the state, but apparently we do get some federal funding as well

And even if it doesn’t affect our jobs directly, any cuts to Medicaid will have ripple effects that will result in the mental health field (and law enforcement possibly) having to pick up the pieces. Also possibly food banks

I’m all for the idea of “tough love” which is removing support on those capable of supporting themselves who have become dependent on that support. But tough love is a long term solution. It is always going to result in a “will get MUCH worse before it gets better” situation

It’s not like when a parent says to a freeloading adult child “no more freebies, son” that the kid straps on his work boots and goes out to get a job. No they first freak the fuck out on the parent. Maybe do some threats. Maybe a little emotional blackmail. Maybe some theft, some property damage. Then after enough time has passed, if they are still alive, they COULD come to the ideal conclusion that all that other shit they were just doing is making life harder on them and getting a job is actually the easier path, even though it doesn’t look like it

This is how I envision pulling benefits plays out on a large scale as well

I don't see major changes to medicaid because it's mandatory spending that requires an act of congress to change which you need 60 senators for unless you can convince the parliamentarian lady that it's budget related for 1 bill per year which they're absolutely using to extend the 2017 tax cuts ASAP. I think he still wants to go after obamacare in next year's session too.

O/U is an Iowa 7. Which ya got?

the cartoon is real good, shit blew me away back in like 2004 or whenever it was playing on Adult Swim

this isnt teerrrrrible but... its missing a shot of the briefcases turning into guns, and therefore I am sad.



But I might watch this tonight.

Still wish for terminator end of humanity tho.

I like this Ai movie.

Yeah no friggen way we're anywhere in the same generation as robot construction crews.

We couldn't even get tesla's to work.

We couldn't even get facebook to work.

growing up we always imagined that the robots would take the labor jobs

it's weird to see how the AI is gonna take all the white collar jobs, including those that built it

like 99% of office jobs are gone

we used to go to see the doctor for access to their knowledge, nowadays the only difference between the doctor and webmd is a prescription pad

Ivy league trade schools?

in the near future it won't matter what school a lawyer or doctor went to, when everyone's handheld device can provide the entire world's knowledge
