jobless jobs

[The Liffey Lip]

Picked up a body this morning working on the new Tesco in Liffey Valley she says the new shop will require 40% less full time staff than other Tesco stores .The checkouts  half of them will be self service but in two years they will all be clever trollies that will register the price of the goods as soon as you put it in and take the cash direct from your bank as soon as you pass a check out post ,she says the goods in will be able to tell what is being delivered without any body checking it in but the bit i likes was she said the supplier only gets paid when they sell the goods so when they do stock taking goods out plus stock in store subtracted from goods in ,if there is any shortfall then that stock must of been stolen or not delivered so the supplier picks up the losses not the retailer .The just in time system will reorder stock autimatically based on how quick it is selling and how long it takes to deliver from supplier .A lot of jobs to be done away with before driverless cars take ours

 You need to apply to Equity for a role in  Westworld, Mr Erm...you remind me of the android employed to tell all guests they're special.

I believe these self service machines and trollies aren't yet foolproof... as the residents of Neilstown will undoubtedly demonstrate. Should contribute to Tesco's "No Time For Waste" campaign objectives, I guess.

Just thinking the advantage of the computerised smart trolley eliminates the tills speeds up people keeps a check on stock it makes sense but a driverless taxi cant drive any faster costs the same on fuel probably a more expensive vehicle ,The cheapest part of the operation is the operator does driverless taxies actually make economic sense .

You are running away from your own answers..

The Future Doesn’t Need Us… Or So We’ve Been Told.

With the rise of technology and the real-time pressures of an online, global economy, humans will have to be very clever – and very careful – not to be left behind by the future.

From the perspective of those in charge, human labour is losing its value, and people are becoming a liability...........

Could it be that the biggest threat we face isn’t just automation and robots destroying jobs, but the larger sense that humans could become obsolete altogether?

Having "intended" sex with a mythical person might just be setting humans up for the big one....as Orwell put it...."thought crimes". And no doubt, the "thought police" will say it's okay to have vigilantes setting pervs up...........we're fucked, Mr McGrath....and we deserve to be...
