But it'll be funny to see all the bots crashing on things on YouTube.

This is coming, whether humans like it or not. These factories are already heavily automated, adding one more type of robot to the mix only feels different because of their shape.

We (humans) need to be spending our effort on reconfiguring our economy to work for everyone when labour loses most of it's value, not try to stop the automation. It's possible to do this, it's just a massive shift in how we think and operate.

At the end of the day I don't want a job, I want the things that come from the money I get from having a job. As long as I can continue to get those things, I'm fine.
