i’m pretty confident that a lot of jobs will be resistant to robots for a while, i expect there to be diminishing returns on raw cognitive skill when there’s the long feedback loops of robot invention and manufacture. Lots of people have to fix a mechanical widget in a very dusty or muddy or wet environment, people scuba-weld, etc.
What I’m confused about is will those wages, if the white collar wages go to zero, go up or down? I expect them to be better off than 90% of SWEs, but also society at large is getting a lot richer, and more people will be willing to do those dirty jobs. Lots of factors! I don’t know what to think.
