The Labour/Conservative comic seems backwards, but that's just me. Anyway good luck fighting the totalitarian ideology of capitalism

I’m a robot mechanic and I can guarantee that you won’t be losing your job to one in the forseeable future.

Crap! The robot mechanics are already so advanced they're commenting on Imgur instead of fixing our cars! We're doomed!!

this automation scare isn't anything new

It's bigger than people think.

"But without the slaves, who will pick the cotton?" Leading to "But with the tractors, won't thousands of farmers be out of work?"

Really it's our own fault for making robots that are better than us.
strideo
They don't have to be better than us. Just cheaper than us.

If you're that worried then learn to code, repair and service the robots and you'll always have work, @OP

Until computer code becomes self-programming and self improving.

Many trade skills, such as, plumbers, electricians, constructions workers are safe(r) from automation.

I.E. I don't know of any robot that can fix the majority of plumbing issues that a house can currently have.
OpieWinstonliveson
there would need to be sci-fi level, almost human capabilities in order for a robot to wire a house
strideo
Yeah. Currently AI are incredibly specific. An AI that could deal with all the ambiguity and nuance of plumbing in any home would be amazing
