Humans Need Not Apply

Nabbed from jeriendhal this is a very important and sobering video. So the ideal of full employment is no longer viable for the majority of us in the near future, if not now.

Scary ..

I've been mostly unemployed for two years, making less than $10 a day if you average it out. Fortunately my wife has a good job and we make it. I think the big problem isn't going to be automation replacing a lot of jobs done by people, but greed/capitalism not wanting to support those progressively increasing numbers of people being displaced by automation.

I drove 500 miles Friday for my wife and I to go to my parents, returning this coming Friday to go home. Then the following Monday driving 650 miles to help a friend out in Colorado. I would LOVE to have an auto that I could drive down the mountain to the highway and have it take over, and spend the hours reading. A friend of mine is epileptic, it'd be great if her car could drive her home or to a friend's house if she has a seizure, she gets warning signs before they strike and could put the car in 'take me somewhere safe' mode. It would be a great thing.

Excellent video, thanks for posting it.
