Brian Merchant, a senior editor of VICE, wrote an article
about Aaron Bastani’s view of work being done by non-humans. Merchant talks
about how Bastani and other luxury communist see a post work society, “where
machines do the heavy lifting not for the profit but for the people.”
(Merchant). In other words, Bastani believes that this technological
development of machines working for humans is a perfect vision for a post work
society. He believes that replacing humans with machines will reduce the amount of work that is required by humans to do. Although I agree with Bastani up to a point I cannot accept his suggestion
that automation will replace wage labor in society, especially those who are hard driven and motivated to work hard their long hours.
Fully automated luxury communism is an article that Brian Merchant editor of the VICE wrote about Aaron Bastani's idea of machines doing work instead of human labor. Aaron sees machines as huge replacement to people being able to most of the hard work for them just leaving the worker to operate it. Mr. Bastani sees no end to machines and their ability to replace human workers there fore altering wages of the employee which i agree about.
ReplyDeleteBrian Merchant, a senior editor of Motherboard, and VICE’s science and technology channel, writes an essay of how technology will mostly likely overcome and do everything for us, like having personal robots. He state ,”The automatons of this new age offer a number of advantages beyond automation that promise to make drudgery redundant, including 3D-printing and algorithms smart enough almost to pass for human. An age of machine-abetted plenty appears to loom around the corner.” We are headed in the direction of machines doing most of the work for us in our jobs. Yes to speed up the process but for our benefit. Although we will still have to do work such as quality control but that would be a small amount. I agree with most of what Brian states, although I disagree that machines will ‘take over’ most of our jobs to say that we are far from that. Some jobs it may help, although the jobs that we work help us see what labor. So it would diminish our hard working attitude.
ReplyDeleteSenior editor of Motherboard, Brian Merchant writes about Aaron Bastani's theory on how robots are more than likely consume and take over. They will be equipped to do mostly anything we can do. Taking away numerous amounts of people's jobs. They will be modified to have the same or even higher mental capacity and basically function as a human can. Although this can be beneficial for some cases this is not quite helpful for the people who will be losing their job. I agree with the majority of the essay for the actual benefits and claims but I do not agree with it taking away people's jobs.
