  • Elon Musk believes that even with automation, there will be a labor shortage. He also implies that the decrease in costs of goods and services from automation may raise the quality of life by a very drastic degree. What do you think? Will jobs no longer be a necessity at some point? Do those that might lose their job to automation need a support system to catch them, or will there be plenty of job opportunities for them to move on to as Elon suggests?

    1)Labor shortage is not universal across all professions around the whole world. What that means is that, while in country X a specific type of job is in short supply of workers, in country Y that same job might be fully saturated and even going over the current demand. In country X high degree of automation will improve the situation, however in country Y it will leave people on the streets.
    2)While in a perfect world more automation would mean cheaper production, leading to lower prices, we all know how the real world works. Especially for companies that have a de facto monopoly in a specific area, high degree of automation would remove more workers, while increasing the profit margin for the few on top.

      Yes, but overall as a whole it'll be better for society just like all technological revolutions have been better overall. The AI world will free up a lot of people to do idea generation instead of mundane/monotonous jobs.

      ​@@galanoth17Nope, the idea generators are not the ones that will loose their jobs. Jobs will be lost for predominantly by those lacking the talents needed to absorb a higher education. And you do not choose whatever you should be talented or not, that is genetic. You will never find any successful engineers with an IQ of 85.

    Elon is making a red herring, yes currently there is a labor shortage but that has nothing to do with the hypothetical.

      No, he's right. We aren't reproducing, so this is going to get exponentially worse across time. We need to automate faster before it's too late

    If you replace all humans and they become jobless, who will consume your service?

    How can Musk seem so positive here when he’s so cynical about AI at other times?

      Because it isnt bad in itself the technology is neutral it is what WE do with it and since a lot of us tend to be dckheads

    As with introductions of all technology, some jobs will be lost and other will be created.

    The 15$ a hour job at McDonalds is looking for workers while the 30$ a hour job with the city has someone who has had the job for 30 years or the 85k a year technician role at XYZ company isnt hiring. Noone wants to work for 15 a hour id rather just be unemployed... The jobs worth my time are filled.
