Hey guys, today's video is something a little bit different. Just some thoughts and ramblings from me today. This afternoon I was watching a documentary titled "Will Robots Make Us Poor" which talked about the advancement of AI and robots and automation and how it could disrupt capitalism as we know it to the point there won't be enough jobs and there won't be enough for us to do so we'll need to go on a Universal Basic Income.
I found it to be pretty interesting and linked to it on Youtube above if you'd like to give it a watch. It got me thinking about a number of things but one thing it got me thinking is that I think in the future having people do things for you will be both a luxury service and a novelty.
I comment in this video how I think it's kind of funny how cyclical society is. Cellphones used to be huge, then they got small, then they got huge again. Back in the day people cooked from scratch and made homemade meals. Then we got the microwave and tv dinners and we leaned towards convenience and now today years later were back to buying artisan cheeses and craft beers. Right now things are going heavily towards automation but I'm almost sure years down the road when automation becomes the norm having a human do something for you will be a novelty service you'll pay extra for it and it will be kinda wierd to have that ability.
Anyhow, just some odd ramblings from me today. Hope you enjoy. Let me know your thoughts and drop a comment below...
