Make normies obsolete!

Any other cynics happy to be working towards, or watching technology replace normies?

I can't wait until normies are starving in the streets and cannibalizing each other.

No, "technology" won't replace a disruptive amount of the low-skilled workforce.

Replacing a cashier monkey with an iPad is all very well, except that most people are simply too stupid to use them efficiently. You can see it in action with self-checkout machines at the super markets. They take forever because people are dumb and become helpless retards when confronted with even the slightest complexity; using a human checkout operator always gets you out of the store faster.

Now, you may say "omg lol but what about the UI designer who will make it easier tbh fam?" But you are missing the point. People turn into helpless retards when confronted with complexity. Stores that rely on touchscreens and other self-service machines also need a bunch of trained humans to constantly clean up the messes that idiots make when trying to operate a machine no matter what the UI looks like.

Now you are probably saying "smh kek but what about when we make robots to replace those humans?" And this is the root of your misunderstanding. There is literally zero chance that a robot that could perform the same functions that Monkeyshia does in the packaging warehouse or fast food chain can be developed for less cost than it takes to create 100 adult humans who will do the job for a low wage.

Do you know how hard it is to recreate even a simple hand gesture using technology? And I don't mean the programing side of it, I mean manufacturing an imitation hand that can perform functions comparable to a human. Robots will not replace monkey workers. Educated people understand that and it is the reason the only countries blathering on about "tolerance" and how noble it is to import millions of savages are those with declining birth rates.

The fact is, physical work will never be done primarily by machines. It is simply too expensive to develop machines that can operate with even the efficiency of a down's baby. The job in the most danger of being phased out by machines is doctors, since it is cost-effective to develop massively expensive machines to perform medical work since 1) doctors are overpaid and 2) people are willing to pay millions for their health but not for a hamburger.
