    Would be cool, if it wasn’t so hard to find a job already. Now androids are going to take the rest. If I would be able to buy an android for doing house chores then yes it would be cool

      There is always going to be jobs. Else, there is nobody who’s buying products from Amazon. It’s a self-regulating system. New jobs will be created when old ones die out. Just think of the millions of workers doing manual sewing that got replaced by mechanical sewing machines. Or all the farmers and oxes that got replaced by tractors.

        There will always be some jobs. That’s no guarantee that there will be enough jobs for everyone to live modest lives on.

          Some will be left behind. It’s not good. But if you look at the course of our past 10.000 years history, it has always meant progress and a better quality of life for the majority.

        What jobs will delivery robots create? Mechanics? What about summer time jobs? One has to begin somewhere. No one is born an engineer with experience
