The few men with good jobs (like myself) will have access to incredible amounts of pussy due to female hypergamy. Jobless omegas will have to be content with porn.

It is going to be awesome.

By the time my job can be automated the technological singularity will probably be a month away and I will soon be living in a technological utopia. No big deal.

I think you can make the argument that it won't likely happen in the near or medium term. I don't believe you can say that AI will advance to the point that all white-collar jobs will be automated away, but we will fail to achieve something resembling the technological singularity. An AI with the capacity to do what I do plugged into supercomputers with much more effective processing power than any human brain will quickly accomplish things we couldn't do in hundreds of years

Automation is going to fuck lawyers very early on. For starters the fewer factory workers the fewer workers comp and SSDI cases. The fewer construction workers the fewer elevation cases. With self driving cars PI lawyers are pretty much all out of a job. In most state courts car accidents are 1/4 of the docket! No car accidents = 1/4 of all legal work GONE. Air bags already took a huge chunk of business away. Ask any old timer how much more money they were making pre-airbags. And automation means fewer mom and pops businesses around so the small time transactional lawyer is finished. Mom and pops will never be able to afford $250k robots. Increasingly small business is becoming a thing of the past. Monopolization means you need far fewer lawyers.

"That same hyper-specialization approach could apply to lots of white collar jobs. Lawyers, for example. You could take any routine legal problem and subdivide it -- uncontested divorces, real estate transactions, most standard contracts, and so on. It was surprising where you started to see headsets popping up, and whenever you saw them you knew that the people were locked in, that they were working every minute of every day and that wages were falling."

You don't even need strong AI to do most human work. You just need adequate specialized systems, like a driving module, a delivery bot module, an ordering system with a good interface etc. You can eliminate vast numbers of jobs very quickly this way

If automation really does get as big as people say it will get, I actually support the idea of government employment instead of welfare. Life with nothing to do would be completely meaningless; at least busy work gives you something to do.

the govt may as well employ them and have them do some not fully necessary but nice to have public service. It won't cost much when you offset the welfare expense you're saving.
