Out of the Box

 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) COULD REPLACE 300,000,000 JOBS WORLDWIDE...

SOUND THE ALARM...

Elon Musk, the Apple CEO, whoever the hell he is, plus 1,100 are now warning the world that we should slow down with our push to develop AI/Robot technology...

WHY?

Because it replaces frigging jobs that those assholes knew about from the getgo...  who are now realizing that those displaced workers will have nowhere to go...

SHOULD THEY NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FIRST?

Sometimes, people with lots of intelligence are actually stupid and ignorant because they cannot think beyond their focus.

THE GENNIE IS OUT OF THE BOX...   and, it ain't gonna be put back in the box...  not now...  not ever...

WHY?

MONEY...

                 POWER...

                                  CONTROL...

• Robots don't get sick
• Robots can fight wars
• Robots don't complain
• Robots can work longer than a typical shift
• Robots don't demand vacations
• Robots can work through holidays
• Robots don't need to celebrate Christmas
• Robots don't get sick

TECHNOLOGY... has become an intergral part of our lives, of our societies...  and, of our quality of life.  We could not live without our smart phones, iwatches, ipads, and tablets.  We control our homes and vehicles with smart technology.  Social media forums occupy most of our free time and keeps us from being productive at work.  What we cannot find in the stores, we can order online and have it delivered for free.

The auto industry uses robots to build cars.  The medical industry uses robots to perform routine jobs.  Other industries uses robots to perform minor maintenance tasks.

It will not be easy to give up robots after seeing the cost savings.

It is great that Elong Musk and others have seen the future's unintended consequences...  but, it is too late to stop the momentum.
