This thread is nothing but a forum for humblebrags about jobs. Come on, I know some of you are cotton pickers or something.

Again, even cotton pickers aren't getting off the hook.

I cut bags open and dump them into buckets.

I can see them automating your job, but I don't see them ever automating the buckets' jobs.

Your job has already been automated. As a robot, you just don't have the self-awareness to realize it.

I have worked in a factory for a long time cutting open bags and dumping them into bins. It still looks like a long ways off that it is automated. Lifeline foods here in st joseph is the same way. You get 16 an hour for sweeping corn. You would think that they would automate that but there is no plans or talk of it at all.

automation won't be for your job, your job will be eliminated because of better processing equipment eliminates the spoils and/or need to hand load material.

That is why eventually we will have no choice but to move to socialism. Its going to suck. If even 35% of your workforce cant work - then government & society needs to start paying people just to exist & take shits. Universal Basic Income. The idiots you see now playing video games on Twitch, making YouTube content. They are ahead of the curve actually. That is where we are headed and how many will make money.

Uh as a sys admin, I spend a decent amount of time already automating monotonous tasks. However DevOps is bringing a lot more to play in my area of field.

If I had to guess, i'd say 25%. Not everyone is bleeding edge either due to manpower, knowledge or money. It's not cheap to implement, let alone manage. I think most managers think once you automate something, you step back and forget about it. But there's care and feeding to keep it going.

.6% woo woo!

It seems like automating the job of 'professional football player' would solve a lot of the challenges the NFL is facing. No more concussions, no more big contract demands, no more domestic violence scandals, no more drug testing...you know they're working on it.

So would you watch football if it was played by robots?

Wouldn't it be the exact same team....just with a different logo and uniform?
