What's the solution to rising job loss due to technology?

Leave it to the crazies to whine about the booming economy and worry about "job loss" 85 years from now.

They hate that things are going well under Trump, that turned their entire world upside down.

What can a human really do that advanced AI won't eventually be able to do better? Every time this conversation is had somebody inevitably makes the terrible argument that we'll need people to fix the machines, so there's nothing to worry about. Do you really think robot maintenance jobs will offset the massive loss in jobs across the entire board? Do you really think these robots won't eventually be maintaining themselves?

In the next century we will be seeing human labor become largely obsolete. There will be less and less fewer and fewer jobs, and therefore more and more unemployment. What happens when 40-50% of the population (or more) can't find work because it just isn't there? How is that sustainable?

Dynamic Dynamo, Not Static Stagnancy

Throughout modern history, technology has created more jobs than it has replaced. For example, the invention of the telephone. In other words, it creates activity that had never been done before and jobs that had never been done before.

Well, obviously both wings of the establishment think the solution is to keep the borders wide open and let another few hundred million wander in. What could be better?

n these forums. But just think, no work! Spend more time with your family, learn to play a violin or piano, study painting, a whole world of books to read, on and on.

Go With the Flow

Creating jobs manufacturing family-together products, jobs in teaching music, artists' jobs, and writers' jobs.

I don't think it will be the same. We will have AI that outpaces humans in every way imaginable. It will learn and do the news jobs faster and better than humans ever could. I really don't believe human labor will be useful for much longer.
