I would be spending all my time banging a sex robot.

Nope. I am a DBA. Oracle has been trying to take our jobs for years and has failed every time.

I have been building machines that working in the semiconductor industry for the last 3 decades so when thr rest of you are bowing to our new robotic overlords, I will be fine
I am the TEKNICIAN that build and fixes them

somebody will still be needed to change the JIZZERVOIR on the sexbots
no worries for me

On the technological side, the video is 100% correct.

Economically, I think there is a great deal more uncertainty. Henry Ford made his fortune by making sure his employees could afford his technology. This model seems built on the idea that ultimately only a very few could afford the technology and its benefits. The math doesn't work for most people to be displaced from their jobs, even if the technology is capable of displacing them.

I think a disruptive event rests on the horizon:

A revolution from the disenfranchised?

The benevolent billionaire movement expands to take care of us all?

After the singularity occurs, robots view us a pets worth keeping us around similar to dogs and cats?

After the singularity occurs, robots eliminate us?

This is going to be so cool to see what happens.

Me too.

Very interesting video.

I'm a welder robots are already taking my jobs over...

Even if robots take over all major manufacturing there will still be jobs open for skilled craftspeople.

Its one of the problems I have with Star Trek is that there still will be scarcity in some areas just not limited by resources like now but by labor. Having hand made items will become symbol of status just like it is now.

If robots can jerk me off, then yes.

And they use proper punctuation, too!

I wouldn't be so sure. Right now and for the next 10 years or so, your golden.

I just don't see how a virtualized system can't automatically tune a DB in the future. Ensure integrity and access to the rows of data. We have been doing this successfully with networks and Servers for years. Why not DB's?

You already have virtualization and live migrations happening in every shop. Two months ago, I architected a multiple site enterprise solution using SAN without EMC/Netapp etc. Just used Windows 2012 and file services role. Virtualized the network.

It's changing fast.

Not mine. Robots can't create art or design. Well, maybe they could with artificial intelligence. What about talent though.

They could replace the more menial parts of an artist's or a designer's job.

My other job, cleaning the house. Sounds great. Bring them on.

None of which is caused by capitalism, since we don't particularly have capitalism. We have cronyism and it's growing.

This was a concern before but other jobs would be created as they have before. No one can predict how markets will play out. There's always someone to come along and do something that can upset prediction. Humans are like that.

This is the first step toward Terminators.

You didn't watch the video.
