Partial Transcript:
For hundreds, even thousands of years, the horse was humanity’s go-to form of transportation. And in 13 years, that all changed.
Right now, we are on the cusp of a technological disruption that will make the switch from horses to cars look like switching from Coke to Pepsi.
So we talk a lot on this channel about exponential growth, artificial intelligence, the singularity, and that’s a lot of fun, but there is a dark side to all this change, one that really needs to be talked about because the way we respond to it is going to significantly alter our future as a species.
The BBC released a report just a few weeks ago that said that 30% of jobs are going to go away in the next 10 years because of automation.
In the U.S., we’ve heard a lot over the last election about the proverbial coal miners and our current president specifically campaigning to bring back coal jobs.
But coal is just one of hundreds of industries that are taking advantage of employees that can work 24/7, never need a bathroom break, never sleep, never make a mistake and work twice as fast. Oh, and you don’t have to pay them.
Factories already decimated by outsourcing are now losing even more jobs to automation. And as automation becomes more sophisticated, more industries are at risk.
The transportation sector actually makes up 25% of the jobs in the United States, if you can believe that. A full quarter of the population. And autonomous cars… They’re pretty much here, guys.
Famously, the Tesla Model 3, going into production this year, will have autonomous capability, though it may not have the software available, it will have the hardware ready for it.
But less famously, there are a lot of other car companies trying to beat Tesla to market with this. Nissan has a fully self-driving prototype in development that they took a drive in on Fully Charged and it was spooky how good it was.
Cadillac is so bullish on self-driving technology, they spent millions of dollars to create a lidar map of every highway in the United States using their own proprietary system.
This way their cars won’t just rely on sensors and GPS to find their way, the Cadillac system will contain a 3D map of everything, including the roadsigns.
Google’s working on a car, Apple supposedly is working on a car, but the people who are really big on this technology are the service providers.
Uber made over 2 billion dollars last year. Imagine how much they could make if they didn’t have to pay their drivers...
Uber has been working for years on a transportation fleet of autonomous cars, and even Ford has made some intentions known of pivoting in a similar direction.
Many are predicting that cars will go from a retail industry to a service industry, with Peter Diamandis saying that in ten years, car ownership will be an outdated idea.
The fact of the matter is, you can be for automation or against it, you can agree with its use or not, but this is happening. And we need to be ready for it.
Some people are talking about a basic minimum income, a flat amount of money that everybody in a society makes, as a safety net to keep people above water. This is an interesting idea that’s even being tested in some places.
There is a coming change on a fundamental and massive level in this world. One that is filled with amazing advancements and technological wonders. The question is, will we be able to change with it?

Double E... second hardest branch of Engineering after CEl and probably one of the hardest majors on any college campus. Respect. Im amazed at how many EE job posting there are in the LA times everyday. I kick myself for choosing to have my first love experience at the same time I was taking Algebra 2 during summer school of my 10grade year. Needless to say, I totally phone it in for the Algebra 2 class because I was too busy making out with a girl for the first time in my life. It was all downhill from there as far as my math class. Didnt realize it at the time but you cant just goof off in an entire math coarse and still think you can proceed in math without some serious issues. I pretty much new then that I had forfeited any hope of studying Engineering or physics, and maybe even Chemistry. Good thing I was a natural in the life sciences.

I grew up in a railroad town - Galesburg, Illinois, home of the largest railroad switch yard operated by a single railroad line (CB&Q, which became Burlington Northern and then BNSF). Both my grandfathers and a huge chunk of my uncles worked there. Back in the '70s in that town, as a man you pretty much worked either for the railroad or the Admiral/Maytag factory... unless you went to college (rare). Of course that last sentence is hyperbolic, there were car salesmen, waiters, bus drivers, teachers, etc., but you can imagine how much the town's economy relied on the railroad and factory. In a town of 32,000, close to 5,000 people were employed by the factory and 2,500 or so by the railroad and then there were the various trucking companies, machine shops, mechanics, box factories, and whatnot associated with them. In 2004 Maytag closed up shop and started manufacturing in Mexico, killing the factory and all the businesses that depended on it. In that case, not tech or singularity, but cheap labor. Same effect. The BNSF yard is called a "classification yard" - classification is the process of breaking up and reconfiguring trains by pushing a chain of freight cars up a hill or "hump" and then leting each car roll by gravity through a system of switches to its new assigned train. Before then, the work was all manual; a couple men would run a switch engine to push the cars up the hill, a couple men would be there to uncouple the cars as the apexed the hump, switch operators were there to get the car on the right track, and there were safety people and a guy in a tower supervising it all and manning the radio. My grandfather used to take me there to watch, it was kind of fascinating to me as a kid. In 1984, the yard installed its first automated hum system. Over the years, with the advancements in control panel software and locomotive automation, they've needed fewer and fewer people to do the workload. And that's a workload that incidentally has increased many times over thanks to the efficiency of automation. There are now about 900 employees there, and if you factor in the country's closure of about 2/3 of its classification yards, that's effectively 300 people when you compare it to the 1970s worker-to-workload numbers. Meanwhile, the downtown shopping district has languished and the mall is all but demolished… oh but there’s always Walmart! How's the town reacted? Frankly, very poorly. It's getting more and more run down and redneck by the year. Maytag bailed 13 years ago and people are still blaming them instead of looking for solutions. People complain that BNSF is just a greedy, money-grubbing corporation - even people who've never had anything to do with the railroad - as it owes them something. There are a few people who’ve pushed through and found something different to do with their lives. There are even a few who’ve tried doing a rehab on downtown (parts of it) and shooting for that quaint “small town antique gift shop” feeling. I almost feel bad for those folks, except they have the means to get out if they chose to. Mostly, though, the town is run down and redneck. I’m all for driverless semis. I’m for driverless car lanes in rush hour areas (I still want to go on “manual mode” from time to time, like in Demolition Man). Electric cars are going to put a lot of mechanics out of business. I have a Nissan Leaf and pretty much the ONLY significant maintenance item is tires. Amazon is investing in automated deliveries BIG time (drones, robe-vans, etc) and will soon figure out how to track more than 20 people in their Go stores. Automated pharmacy dispensaries are in the works (a vending machine for my Adderall, YAY!). There’s a robot brick layer that can do the work of three men. There are even apps that can diagnose whether your oddly shaped mole is a melanoma or not! I think you’re onto something here… and I think for a lot of people it ain’t gonna be pretty. I just listened to a podcast in which they discussed the idea of a mandatory minimum salary, which would take care of people while still allowing for the idea of social climbing and capital gain. I just don’t see that happening. They DID mention that it would be good to start focusing on things we don’t value enough, like primary education and elder care… things that can’t really be automated. Also, troubleshooting is going to be hard to automate, especially for things like surgery or dentistry or emergency management. Plus, there will be jobs we don’t even see coming. But, for many, I think hard times are coming. Wait. Is this a comment of a blog post? What the f…?

To be fair, though, I don't really want to be an employEE at all - I want to be an employER! (Biological or Robot, makes no difference to me.) But I'm not worried about j.o.b.'s disappearing - frankly, I don't think ANY human should have to work, unless it's what they really WANT to do, and I see the future as quite bright!

If anything, you'll see demand surge as the world population keeps growing and mass migration becomes an increasing problem.

When I was a teenager the IBM PC was just starting to be a thing, and I remember the popular science programme 'Tomorrow's World' on the BBC here in the UK ask, what will we do with all the extra leisure time we will have once computers make us much more efficient, and we could take half the working week off? Well, what happened was the leisure time was allocated to leisure specialists, who were known as the unemployed. Numbers of clerks and secretaries were slashed, with the remaining staff now covering the work that was once done by several people with the help of PCs - in much the same way machinery and automation has impacted industrial and manufacturing sectors. The technology you are discussing promises an even greater dislocation before things settle down. There is reason to be optimistic in the longer term, as the potential for growth in the economy is increased - we no longer all work on farms and things are, generally, considered better. The issue is how a potentially jarring transition will be managed by our political leaders in the short to medium term... Oh. Okay. We are in trouble...

I think a great place to begin a discussion about UBI should be with the economics. The Economist did an excellent graphical breakdown here: www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2016/06/daily-chart-1 Notice how a high GDP per capita country like Luxembourg could give a tax break, and still give every citizen around $15K per year by eliminating most other social safety net programs. Whereas in a low GDP country like Mexico, UBI is a non-starter without taxing everyone 80%+.

If one thinks "Oh, the mindless jobs like assembly-line manufacture or truck-driving are the jobs that will disappear, I'm studying to be a doctor, I'm safe" I have some bad news. AI radiologist software is now more accurate and reliable than human radiologists in many areas of diagnosis including tumours. Most GPs (US= family doctors) use algorithms on their PC to prompt diagnostic discussion and once a diagnosis has been chosen, prompt the appropriate referral or prescription. And frankly why would you want to rely on a hairless ape's dodgy memory if one has access to a powerful medical AI? No professions will be safe from AI.

@Megalomaniakaal 7 жыл бұрын

Most current professions won't be safe from AGI, there's bound to be a few that are, and perhaps even a few new ones created by the very existence of AGI however the real issue is that they will not be enough for everyone. Many of us will have to very likely become farmers for our own sake's again, depending mostly on ourselves and what we produce for ourselves. Thankfully micro-manufacturing and production are becoming a thing. And simpler AI tools will help us engineer our own solutions for automating some of this home-production. edit: the positive of this all is that we will all be more self reliant and in a sense free-er for it, since we will rely less on others and vice-versa. The negative shall be the period of major disruption as the societal shift occurs.

I don't think so. What do you think will happen when we no longer get paid for our work, but instead live off some arbitrarily set basic income? Well, the capitalists are still going to own the businesses and produce everything with robots and they will simply dictate how high the basic income will be. Because rich people always dictate politics. And since they won't depend on our work any more, we won't be able to strike or apply any other real economic pressure and they will own not only the businesses and the products, but they will finally *OWN US* too. It will be like feudalism, only with better technology. That is scary. And that's why we need to transition away from capitalism and into socialism before that happens. If the businesses are democratically controlled by everyone, instead of only a few rich people, then we don't have to fear automation.

And then, when nobody is working any more, we won't be able to strike or apply any economic pressure and the capitalists will finally own not only the businesses and the robots and the products, but they will *OWN US* too.

I think these corporate master will wise up when they finally figure out there will be no one to buy their products or use their services.

No. We will buy products with our universal basic income. But that income will be dictated by the rich, because the rich always end up dictating politics. And once they don't even require people's work, they will basically own not only the businesses and the robots and the products, but they will finally *OWN US* too. It will be like feudalism, only with better tech. That is capitalism's end game. And that's why we need to transition away from capitalism and into socialism before that happens. If the businesses are democratically controlled by everyone, instead of only a few rich people, then we don't have to fear automation.

@Sam Williams Absolutely. Every system has it's period where it shines as superior than the previous one and a period where it begins to show cracks and is outshined by the next.

This may be the most important and terrifying video you have ever made. It put me on the road to learning robotics programming at 60 years old. Combined with your immortality video I'm figuring it would be stupid to depend on retirement in our current scientific and economic situation. Thanks for what you do Joe!
