I just can’t see past all the people who will lose their jobs and livelihood. Love how he starts out with a lie about how they can’t find enough qualified people to operate a backhoe. Bulshit

Unfortunately they don’t care and obviously seem to have different concerns

Small businesses need help cost-cutting, whenever possible.
But, “Big-Biz,” hell-bent on profit, could be taxed for eliminating jobs, to a degree.

M8, you need qualification to operate heavy machinery like that. If you don’t have it how do you expect to be hired for it?

Hacking has never been and is not easy, and as the autonomy tech getting more and more mature it’s going to get progressively harder to mess it up, especially against larger companies with a lot of expertise like Tesla for example. Just look at how often Google is getting hacked, the military nowadays; those days are pretty much over. It has to be a very large effort now from a coordinated team backed up by a government in order for it to work; and where’s the incentive for such a large scale attack?

*When did well paying jobs like that, become hard to fill?*
If you’ve an IQ slightly higher than average, you can learn to use those, fairly easy.
*I may’ve answered my own question?*

“Hard to fill positions” hahaha They haven’t become hard to find workers at all! This is just what they say to make it sound like they aren’t developing them for anything other than making the CEO of mining companies huge money by NOT hiring humans. Robots are already driving all the trucks in the mines and cutting costs by not hiring humans there. human workforce being slashed by automation in australian mining industry by huge numbers in last 8 years due to automation. automation will have replaced 50% of the lower skilled workforce by 2029. Lesson: Learn robotics and programming.

Only a fraction of those that lose their jobs due to autonomy can have jobs in robotics and programming, and it’s not like it’s an easy field to begin with. This is why UBI and very possibly a rework of our entire money system and the idea of what is are going to be crucial to the stability in the west in the upcoming years.

If there were enough workers in the labour pool, there won’t be the economic push necessary to build these robots. It’s the same with truck drivers and the development of automated trucks.
People underestimate how hard it is to do these jobs and the employees are hard to come by.
