>So get a different job. That's what I've been told all my life as a truck driver.
When drones and self driving trucks replace you then you'll need a new job, but the purpose of automating work is to reduce the need for humans and the less humans society needs the lower the value of your time becomes. You are not on a different side of the anti-automation problem just because you drive a truck (You do not drive a truck, you are LARPing and possibly Indian)
Everybody who works instead of just owning capital is in the same boat. The "new jobs" created by automation have less total value than the jobs which are lost, because the purpose of automation is to reduce labour costs. You can not tell 10 million manufacturing workers to retrain as engineers and software developers because there are not 10 million roles available for engineers and software developers. The automation of industry removes 10 million jobs and only creates 10 thousand, at best, the automation of every other market does the same thing.
Amazon's destruction of the highstreet created new jobs in warehouses and driving trucks but it destroyed 10 times as many retail and local commerce jobs as it created. The automation of Amazon warehouses created new demand for software engineers and robot supervisors but destroyed 10 times as many shelf stacker jobs as it created. When creative pursuits are automated we will lose 10+ times as many creative people as we will gain in new AI wrangling roles. Do AIfags think this technological advancement will create new opportunities for them to make money by simply typing keywords into a glorified search engine? Then they should consider how many people the world needs to do that and how many Indians could be taught to do something so trivial for peanuts.
Every single step of automation reduces the total value of human labour, while our populations are still growing, this is a problem for every working man and you all have a common interest in solving it.
