Humans Suck: Bring On The Robots

To some this might seem like an odd title.

What is ironic is, whether it is written about or not, this is exactly what is going to happen. Anyone who follows my articles knows how we keep detailing the progress that is being made in this area.

We are going to face a lot of uncertainty over the next decade. Many feel that technology is going to keep creating more jobs than it destroys. I disagree with this completely. In fact, due to the US labor force participation rate numbers, I believe the statement was untrue since the turn of the century. The percentage of working age people who are in the workforce keeps dropping.

The robots are not coming; they are already here.

Humans Suck: Get Rid Of Them

Some might find this offensive but isn't it true? How many people are you around, especially in the work environment, who you cannot stand? Is that a number that is diminishing as time passes or increasing?

The reality is the Corporate America turned into a cesspool. It is a place of backstabbing, self-indulged narcissism where the likes of Jamie Dimon rule the roost. Modern day wage slavery is forcing people into jobs they hate, making the environment that much more deplorable.

Of course, few are going to excel in this atmosphere which causes productivity to continually decrease. Couple that with the fact that most jobs suck and we have a recipe for disaster.

For this reason, corporations are advancing their solution: automation. Instead of dealing with the issues surrounding people, just get rid of them. That is what the participation rate is telling us. We know the GDP over the last 20 years continued to grind higher. Thus, we know they are able to get more productivity with less humans.

Then we have Elon Musk looking to develop the general purpose humanoid. This AI-driven robot will, if the goal is achieved, be able to replace most of the human workforce. Will we ever get to that point? It is highly debatable. However, we do know things are moving in that direction.

Humans Cost Money

Why is driverless Uber so appealing? The simple answer is that ridesharing is a profitable venture at a low price level when the humans are removed. Paying drivers, even without benefits, is not a sustainable business model long-term. Nevertheless, take them out of the equation and we can see how suddenly "robotaxis" can churn a profit.

Consider the same situation with regards to trucking. Consider all the products that are moved via this system. What is one of the biggest expenses? The human element.

Of course, looking at salary is only part of the equation. What about the benefits? Humans get sick and want to go on vacation. They need to have something set aside for retirement. At times, they do things that get companies sued. When in the office, they want coffee, a water cooler, and rest rooms.

Machines require none of these things. Simply plug them in and let them go.

Naturally, robots are willing to work 24/7/365. Humans prefer to have time off. There is a physical limit to what they can work. In some industries, like trucking, regulation is in place to ensure adequate time is taken to refresh. Robots do not need this.

Humans are also sensitive. They get emotional and complain. Quarrels arise within the office as people become rivals. The inability to get along creates a loss in productivity.

Have you ever seen robots get jealous of each other? There are no sexual harassment suits. A robot is not going to get upset over not being promoted. And it certainly doesn't want to leave early to get its kid to the dentist.

Removing humans from the equation removes a host of headaches.

The Inevitability

The reality is what machines can do better than humans is growing each day. This is an inevitable outcome. Corporations are going in this direction already. They claim it is out of need and perhaps it is in many instances. However, it will not stop once the need if filled. Getting rid of humans reduces the largest expense most businesses have while eliminating a lot of bullshit.

Robots do not end up in sensitivity training classes. In fact, outside of reprograming the software, there is no training required for anything.

Another advantage, when you get rid of a robot and replace it with another, you actually get something that is improved. In most instances, when a long time employee leaves, the replacement is a step back. Even if the skills are there, a new organization means a learning curve. The next generation machine is vastly improved from the one that just was taking out the back door.

Few are preparing for this outcome, instead holding out hope that we can avoid it. Sure there will be lots of jobs created in the future. The mistake is for people to presume those jobs will be filled by humans. What is the future of job creation is for machines?

How are people going to live? What are they going to do? How does society operate? These are all valid questions without an answer. Sadly, since we are sticking our heads in the sand (or somewhere else) by hanging onto the myth that it will be status quo going forward, we are not even attempting to find the answer. This means that it will be sprung upon us, with little warning.

Of course, here is warning being issued in 2022. Is anyone listening? Nobody of great importance.

President Biden made headlines by claiming that General Motors pulled America into the electric vehicle age. What a joke that is. GM sold 26 EVs in the 4th quarter; Tesla over 300K. So why did Biden do this? Because GM is a labor shop.

What is Tesla doing? Is it hiring unions? No. In fact, it is eliminating jobs. The latest mega-press going into their Austin factory is reducing their robot count by 300. Even the robots are starting to lose their jobs.

That is how fast progress is happening.

If 300 robots suck and it is better to replace them with one machine, what about 300 humans? Or 3,000?

Here is the short answer: they are gone. It is only a matter of time.

Are we prepared? Of course not. It is impossible to solve a problem without looking at it. We refuse to acknowledge that dealing with humans in the workforce sucks and companies are doing all they can to get rid of them. The robots are here and only expanding their abilities. It is a foregone conclusion.

For those involved in cryptocurrency, I believe are going to be able not only to weather what is happening but also to excel. For the rest, who are still dependent upon the legacy system, that is going to be a rough road. One thing we can count on, people will be royally screwed. History shows how this is repeated time and time again.

It is time for people to wake up. The robots are here and machines are taking jobs. This is a situation that will only keep expanding.

People keep acting like this stuff is taking their jobs but in reality what it's doing is making people not be such lazy A holes. If you continue to educate yourself there's a vast expanse of making money for yourself and most likely something more you enjoy then whatever job you are currently working at or the person you are working for. Also these robots still need people in some way. They need engineers to design them, programmers to program them, maintenance crew to fix them when they break down and so on. It's not taking jobs it's leveling up jobs and honestly jobs I feel you'd be more happy with and less break your back labor intensive.

Yeah, there are truths here! Robots are needed to ease work stress and equally hasten work done.

That is today. Down the road, could the robots being fixing the robots?

This is the incredible thing to consider.

Possible but in that case don't you have the terminator! 👀 lol but still someone needs to manage and program them even if they do fix themselves. But yes a lot will become automated and the idea of "work" for people is going to drastically change. At that point you're going to have to figure out how people are "paid" and buy things when there's just a vast amount of resources. That wont happen however until we start getting off planet I believe.

Nah humans only suck because of other humans too. If people prefer inanimate and emotionless objects then why be human in the first place? 😂

Humans are just lazy and selfish creatures that's why we created machines. Either that or one person just wants to "save money" and do stuff on their own. Probably add greed in there too.

Machines can be great tools, same as money. It is us who use and make them that should become better people instead of just depending on machines.

I am not sure this is the case. We didnt create cranes because we are lazy. Devices such as that increased our ability to extent ourselves.

Also why we need education w/c a lot of "entrepreneurial" people keep saying sh*t abt.

But of course I am talking abt machines like robots and not machinery/equipment like cranes.

Many are defined by their jobs. One major topic in Futurism is humans finding new meaning and purpose in life once the Bots do everything for us. Some think we will all just become Artists and Hedonists.

That is true. People wrap their self worth in what they do, as opposed to other things. If job is lost, many really suffer psychologically.

In my opinion, automation and robots will have another decade of growth. Man will have to do different jobs

There is no reason to think that it will slow down anytime soon. If anything, we can presume the pace will only increase.

robots have been around since the 1970s, but now they have become cobots, that is, robots that collaborate with each other. When I saw them I was impressed and I realized that in the world of robot programming there is something new that will not slow down their use, indeed as you wrote, it may be that their use will increase.

I believe this is definitely going to be true. After so many years and VC investment, Uber and Lyft are not profitable companies. It makes you wonder how they can ever become profitable and I think that will only work when everything is automated by robots.

Isn't this amazing? We find that the users of those applications were actually being subsidized by the wealthy on Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Honestly, before coming across this post of yours , I used to think it will be a bad idea replacing humans with robots in the labor force . After reading this write up, my eyes are now opened to the many excesses humans have compared to the services AI robots will offer .

Whether it is good or bad, it is happening. The key is whether we start to discuss this and plan for the future. It seems people are not going to do this which means we are going to await until it is a crisis.

Of course the greatest obstacle to this happening is the humans been replaced . It will sure be a ding dong affair.

Humans don't suck because they still have stuffs to offer that robots cannot. I believe that the whole idea of robots is to reduce labour time, ease stress, enhance productivity and more. However, we shouldn't advocate for a world where humans are seen as irrelevant.

The things that humans can do that robots cannot decreases each day. Extrapolate this out another decade, and the difference will be much less.

Robots and software move at a much faster pace than humans. And this is only speeding up.

This is true when we are looking at work (work done/ rate), manufacturing and production only. But there are areas that robots will never be able to compete with humans nor come close. Areas like human resource management, customer service, interactions in a workplace etc.

There's definitely no way robots will totally eliminate humans in the workplace. Humans will still be needed to operate these robots we are talking about.

Omg, this chain is so ignorant.. No wonder hive stays around a 200 rank coin. Only reason i stay here is for the free transactions. I'm going to try to bring some smarter people around here. @bitcoinflood says people are lazy this will make them harder workers, lol.

So he's saying truck drivers who drive for hours on end across the country and coal miners should learn to code. Because she's an idiot. it's the everyone learn to code argument. Listen the human cranium is only so big. The storage capacity of your brains einsteins.. can't grow much larger. you never ever going to outpace that machine or be as useful or effective.

@stefano.massari says it's about 10 years off. Maybe but you don't really know that. The machines are here now

10 years is no time. Some say they'll have to be monitored. it doesn't matter having one guy monitor thousands of machines means millions of jobs gone.

i did a video on this dumb trucker who doesn't believe driverless trucks can replace him and he's catching hell right now

Yes humans suck but the greatest philosophers in the world say no story is worth being written that doesn't involve the human heart. I'm getting tired of trying to save a bunch of dumb humans who will wait 5 or 10 years for catastrophy. No jobs and no means of living means strain on the government when it's not a good plan. Sickness and increase in crime and mental illness and drug use.

You guys creating all these dumb small businesses on the chain. Read up on Trace Mayer and Jimmy Song on why businesses on the blockchain are horrible ideas and you not even creating good businesses.

You selling jpegs from centralized servers for outrageous amounts of money is all utterly stupid, lol. Automation is a problem up there with nuclear proliferation. climate change, world war 3, global pandemics. You all tread light on this. Only project in the world that seems to have a chance in hell of solving the problem seems to be bitcoin myk and bbd.. and for you people like @edicted and don't mention stupid ubi programs on ethereum that gotta pay $50 in fees just to receive a buck. .that's lunacy.

Who goes where's your support nobody supporting you... It's only like 3% of the dummies in crypto that this likely not impacting right now. However, don't worry they'll join me because they'll all be jobless and where the hell do they have to go? lol

I'm not sure that the US labor force participation rate numbers are necessarily the best metric to use here since it's a percentage of US residents... which has gone up from 280M to 330M in that same timeline... and I'm not sure if people working via Instagram/Fiverr/Upwork/Onlyfans/YouTube, etc etc necessarily make it onto the labor force numbers.

Your point is extremely valid though... the pandemic especially showed the benefits of an automated workforce over a human one... and while robots are taking on manual labour, AI and ML are ripping through white collar jobs too.

My prediction is that the people who excel will the same types of people who have always excelled... ie, the people that own things. I've only recently learnt that owning things is way more profitable than doing things... which is bonkers to me, but that's the way it goes.

Maybe we'll make a living wage from owning tokens that represent decisions or decision-making? Or telling stories? Or looking after others?

If humanity could figure out how to better support creativity and progress such that humans spent their time working jobs that advance the human race, I'd be all for mass automation through robots.

The problem is, humans just can't figure out their own greed long enough to look up and see there are major obstacles coming down the pipe that need to be solved. Humans are amazing problem solvers, more so than robots ever could be. I wish more jobs supported this aspect of humanity :S

Personally if I had the choice between humans and robots I would have robots. All depends what your company/business does though as robots cannot do everything human can.

I spent many years managing staff in a service-driven industry. I have been out of that for a few years now and one thing has since become abundantly clear... the caliber of the average employee is way down as a whole. Competence, speed, and efficiency are qualities seldom seen.

Bring on the robots...
