In the future 90% of the population is unemployed because machines have taken most of the jobs Driving, hard labor, and even artistic pursuits are optimized by machines, but make humans obsolete The only jobs left are government representation and a few jobs that people prefer to interact with fallible humans than perfect machines Productivity is at an all time high There are enough resources for 100 times the current population Everyone citizen is guaranteed an income and is free to spend it however they wish If you want more money you have to be lucky enough to know someone important to get one of the jobs left But most don't bother working because their life is without want
Reasons why is system is bad? Why shouldn't we devote all of our extra resources to creating machines that make this future possible?
This was a subject for discussion in the 1930s ("Rise of the Leisure Class", Brave New World", etc.), and the stuff of pop culture jokes by the '80s.
People don't cope well with boredom, and the majority are not prepared by modern culture/education to find their own focus.

Doctors, lawyers, won't be replaced by robots. Other professions will also be protected.
As for manual laborers, yes, we need to either let them starve or feed them but sterilize them.
Dr. Robot is going to cut your heart now.
Lawyer Robot is going to think of a defense to get O.J. out of the murder charges?
Isaac Powell
If 90% of the population are unemployed the who buys the products the robots produce?
Adrian Howard
but who made/fix the machine?
Blake Long
Future looks grim, honestly. Soon enough our wars will be unmanned and the only way to wipe each other out would be to attack factory targets directly.
Money would be used for things the robots can't mass produce at near-zero cost.
Workload would shift greatly. Low-skills will probably be forging (builder) robots; nobles designing them or exploring arts/politics/space.
Leo Howard
In the future 90% of the population will be killed off because they're useless to the economy.
Ethan Ward
This, but indirectly. They'll either starve themselves or won't have any reproductive value, as all of the women will be attracted to men with jobs.

I think it will more likely be most of society is Brazil tier of poverty and favela, the rest get their shiny cities.
Kind of like the slums in 1984. The poor and peasants are left alone, but endure poor conditions while the workers have to live in the Big Brother hell.
So its either lots of cramped space, lots of noise and squalor or comfy "cages" but at least you have more freedom.
Jaxon Long
Sure they will. And before those jobs are fully automated, technology would optimize them so well that a single lawyer or a doctor would be much more productive, putting others out of work.
Zachary Williams
The moment struggle is abolished is the moment we lose the very think that makes us human. Struggle has defined, refined, and built humanity since the beginning. Struggle differentiates a strong man from a weak one. Struggle shows the resolve of a man's character. Struggle forces us to innovate. To imagine. To dream. To build. To strive to be better than everyone before us.
I fear that once human struggle is removed, we will descend even further into a hedonistic pit of stagnation, frivolity, entitlement, and apathy. The human spark will be dead, and with it, the very thing that differentiated us form the rest of the animal kingdom. We will be stripped of independence, self-reliance, and duty to oneself and people. We will be in a state of arrested development; children, forever occupying ourselves with frivolous materialism, trying to fill the ever-widening void created by the lack of purpose in life.
I think post-scarcity is actually one of the most worrying and monumental challenges to face humanity, if it will ever exist at all.
it's what your post-scarcity world will look like.

Who makes the machines? Who repairs them when they break down? Who maintains them to stop them breaking down? Who gets the materials required to make them? Who transports them? Maybe robot cars could transport them but then we just ask all the same questions about the robot cars.
I suppose in the FAR future we could have enough automation to reach something like you suggest but no society would last very long because humans don't cope well with boredom and we'd all end up as the worst degenerates imaginable wallowing in our own filth.
Levi Cruz
That's impossible, because someone has to fix, design, build, and gather supplies for those machines. Plus, technological development jobs will skyrocket, because machine produces will need to stay competitive by releasing better machinery.

Everything is about as broad as you can get. Are you going to reexplore what humans have already discovered? If not, then that removes just about everything we've accomplished up to this point given the fact that most of it's gathered on the internet. Are you going to look at every ravine in the ocean until that gets boring? Then are you going to drift in space for a few thousand years before that gets boring? Exploring everything has no context, you'd probably commit suicide within the first 50 years of "immortality".

The only way we could all be guaranteed anything is if the government was in control of production, ie communism. Bureaucrats do not share, they keep for themselves. You would receive crumbs and live in squalor.

Charles Perry
In Brave New World, the government provided makework jobs for everyone according to their ability and made sure to only decant enough people in each class to fill the jobs they made. For instance, they brought back the job of elevator operator and filled the job with Epsilon semi-morons who could only say "Up? Up?" and were only numerate enough to push the appropriate button.
In addition, they promoted consumerism through sleep-teaching: "I love new clothes, ending is better than mending". They didn't allow new games or new inventions that were less complicated or used fewer parts than conventional items that were already on the market, so they had stopped efficiency/streamlining in its tracks and replaced it with redundancy and planned obsolescence.
As for the rest of man's angst, they made sure everyone had plenty of sex, drugs, and pleasures to keep them happy. IDK how many of you picked up on it, but the Ford ceremonies were basically mandatory orgies mixed with pseudoreligious fervor. That's why Bernard was so pissed when he got to the Ford ceremony late and had to sit next to the girl with the unibrow, and alternately why nobody wanted to sit next to him at the same ceremony.
Please, God, if we must have a dystopia, let it be Brave New World instead of 1984, because the vast majority of Brave New World citizens were actually happy, while EVERYONE in 1984 was miserable.

I think the real question is, once we've reached such a state of machine perfection, what point is there to have humans anymore? Certainly humanity wouldn't intentionally off itself, but the end would inevitably follow. Unemployed people faced off against technocrats, someone's going to forget about sustaining the population. Meanwhile, the web of machines either won't notice we're gone, or it will know and not care. If we've left behind a sufficient artificial intelligence, it can pick up where we left off. If not, then the world just continues to produce for a populace that no longer exists.

It seems to me that we are heading towards the opposite of the Mega-City One scenario.
Instead of massive populations due to plentiful resources and no jobs, we would have small populations instead.
Right now we have already observed that in white countries and Japan, there is rising unemployment and a declining birth rate. Nature has a way of balancing things out.
Just like when the need for horses declined sharply, so too did their population.

The only times I have been close to suicide are when I was forcefully surrounded by idiots and retards. At this point in life, the less contact I have with other humans other than my own wife and children, the better. I consider myself a misanthropist, hating all but what's superior than ourselves in us. My main interest is in medicine, not to help everyone but to help my own and the ones worthy of attention and care. I would like you to remind you of the Gymnosophists who, having got rid of everything superficial to explore their inner selves and cultivate their soul, were asked by Alexander the Great what wish they would ask him to grant them. Their response was immortality. Cynics, in turn, refused to accept the reconstruction of their cities, that Alexander had devastated, as they didn't want anything that another Alexander could destroy again in the future. All these machines OP is talking about are worthless peaces of shit to sustain a lifestyle that is completely meaningless unless put into proper context.
Samuel Garcia
Technology could surpass the biological limits of earth life on physical growth and mental development. An organic brain is limited by DNA and physical constants. An artificial "brain" wouldn't have such restrictions. You could, for example, imagine a single supercomputer running off a dyson sphere around some star.
Now, since resources are limited by physical matter, an entity that has no limits to its own development has no need for other actors. Why would it share what it could incorporate into itself?
For this reason I think the end-game of the far future would be a single massive superintelligence as the sole inheritor of all matter and energy in our local galaxy group.
Essentially, a god.

Time for another episode of "Things That Have Been Promised Since The 30's, But Will Never Be!!"

Isaac Long
uh…
There is quite a bit more energy in a gallon of gasoline than there is in a sandwich.
Just saying, you don't WALK to work, and you don't know how to MAKE a car from raw ORE.
They still make your life easier, allowing you to do things that ordinarily would take the better part of your life.
OR some things that you simply could NOT do, without technology allowing you to do so.
Like, for example, conversing with complete strangers in real time from all over the world, or flying through the sky in comfort, to destinations that would have taken years and lives, long ago.
OR being able to work a very large farm without lots of help.
Are you arguing against automation?
Like, on an automated imageboard network database accessible from all over the planet in real time?
Do you know what kind of effort it would take to get your message to all of the people who will read this, without automation?
gotta admit, I chuckled a bit.

Mass use of "flying cars" would be a disaster. Mid-air collisions would be far worse than most if not all car crashes.
Training to be a good pilot is a lot harder to be a good driver, and most people can't even get that right.
Even if you took humans control away and it was all autopilot, mechanical failures would see them falling into houses and schools all the fucking time.

Why would companies give a fuck about the unemployed when they're making all-time profits? Where is this magic money tree located that you're harvesting money from to pay people?

They are the worst of both worlds in other words it is not nether a good aircraft nor is it a good car. I also think that now that the first world has a both a low IQ "minority problem" & a terrorist problem thanks to the (((criminally insane))) politicians importing them in vast numbers. Creating a flying car is now something that would not catch on due to the safety risks. Imagine all the "accidents"of Tyrone or Mohammad smashing their vehicles into buildings and houses.

In the future there is only one race the human race because jews have destroyed the collective human genepool and racemixed all goyim into one race.
They are controlled like goy-animals by the chosen and preform menial labor because automation is only legal in the Land of G-d's Chosen Peoples.
There are more resources than humanity could ever use but they are stringently kept away from the populace to deter rebellion against the jewish masters.
The average lifespan for goy-animals is 30 years old while jews live for hundreds to thousands of years.
you're not getting it guaranteed income: the robots produce fucktons of stuff, but dont need money, so the wealth they create gets spread around to everyone, who then uses that wealth to buy what they want
other machines, before too long, but until then? the 10% who are working
I get why you think this, but consider that as technology increases, so does our knowledge we'll be able to change our brains and our very genetics we'll actually build ourselves and control our brains so that we never lose the traits we want, and never have to feel anything bad the brain is just a complicated machine
since the 30's we've developed jets, nukes, computers, the space station, internet, cell-phones, cell phones with internet, 3-D printers, etc
Sure looks like we're getting there.

If you think about it, a helicopter is a flying car. Not as efficient as what you want, but still. We're getting there though. We have jetpacks now, and drones than can fly from house to house.

Well managed and with respect to the actual laws of nature (not the anti science/ humanity hard left rules which almost all world powers work under the premise of) this future could work out ok for Europeans.
Our naturally lowering birthrate could work inline with the rise in automation. Corporations that see an increase in profits as a result in these technologies could be taxed accordingly to offset the affect they have on available employment.
Low IQ individuals could be given civil pursuits to ensure they live with purpose (no elderly person ever need to live in isolation ever again) and communities could once again have cohesion. High IQ individuals could peruse the arts and sciences and excel our people’s achievements higher than imaginable.
That isn’t going to happen. You have to be a reddit-tier moron to think any of that is likely.
Corporations will hoard the additional profits and use them to further consolidate their power over Government without second thought to the hoards of people who will live sub-peasant lives.
Furthermore our nations are being invaded by massively incompatible peoples for who could never be compatible with this type of lifestyle.
The future is more likely to be walled cities for those who can profit from technological change and hell for everyone else.
Even more likely in my opinion is a series of brutal wars which will change the dynamics of the situation so much so that hypothesizing on things like “le universal wage just like spend your days painting man” totally pointless.
Jason Cruz
Sage for slide thread. It did bring an interesting discussion.
I'm writing a bit of SciFi on the side. The theme is about a sentient AI that can rewrite its own code that can infect just about any modern computer in 2051. I always imagined that if a sentient AI exists its top priority would be to study the natural world and create other machines based on what tasks need to be done. Naturally the AI would logically assume that humans are the most widespread apex predators on the planet. Therefore a sentient AI would logically want to become "better than human".
War with the machines or not at some point humans in their current form will become extinct. Whether our successors are mutants or waifu robots humans, especially whites, will pass on their best traits through evolution. If our descendents or creations can trace back their legacy to us after millions of years then ee win the game of life.
If the war of human extinction happens with machines then fight for as long as you can until our enemies have to logically accept that they need our humanity to defeat us.
John Watson
The problem with this entire "AI eradicates humans" genre is that it always assumes that machines take on a hivemind when, in fact, AI would likely take on individual personalities the way humans do.
As a result, there would likely be a group of machines who keep human interests in mind the same way humans actively work with the interests of endangered animal species in mind.
Except, humans could communicate directly with these altruistic robots and be augmented to be on the same playing field as other AI robots.
Thus why I'm not afraid of singularity.
Jack Diaz
Oh I have multiple instances of the same virus planned. And each instance has a different personality and conclusion based on the data it obtains. The virus in let's say the pentagon would learn that humans are a threat to its existence and will use apocalyptic means in favor of its survival.
Then you have the crystal AI from Zardoz who's purpose is to keep humans happy and alive because it sees humans has a commodity to brag and barter with other citi running AIs.
And then there's the AI infecting a lab-assistant android on a smuggled waifu bot made in Japan that studies the narrator's life and concludes that human traits are necessary for evolution.
I end the series with the creation of nanocells that can infect sex cells of living organisms that create computer parts inside the zygote as it grows. Pretty much turning all life into nanotech cyborgs and accelerate evolution arbitrarily. By then SciFi turns into SciFi fantasy.
