Who will do the hard and the dirty work?
“Unfortunately robots capable of manufacturing robots do not exist. That would be the philosopher's stone, the squaring of the circle.”
Ernst Jünger
Is hard, dirty or dangerous work not something people have to be forced to do? And will not everybody try to avoid it and be happy if someone else is forced to do it? Isn't this the reason why one group suppresses or enslaves another to be freed from hard work?
Remember that it will take a while until we can enjoy a cooperative society. Until then most jobs will be automated away. The answer to this question is therefore: it will be computers and robots who will do this kind of work. And thanks to the cooperative society the relevant know how and software is available for everybody to use (and this even in the technologically most advanced variant available on earth!). As soon as we work cooperatively on the software and A.I. of these robots, their technology will advance extremely fast:
- Special 3D printers will „print“ sophisticated houses in a few hours.
- Doctors will be replaced by extremely skilled diagnostic A.I. and surgical robots
- Vehicles will be produced in a fully automatic way
- Also most other products can be made using advanced 3D printers or other digital production robots
- Logistics and transport will be fully automated
- etc.
But there will be always here and there some hard work left for us. This kind of work will be a rare opportunity to make a great gift for someone and to experience something unusual.
