ROBOT LOVE &....

"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT."
--- Melissa Fontaine 

hola,
the full  working title of this blog is
ROBOT LOVE & THE MYTH OF FULL EMPLOYMENT

BTW 
1.Ralph Nader sez Cable news is mostly
"reporters talking to reporters"
see Jodi Arias,Casey Anthony and
 Zimmerman hot air pundits.

2. per Z
a.concrete is now a "deadly weapon" when blax walk
or defend themselves on it, jeez just when i thot
Stop& Frisk was the worst.

b.Z can now get his gun back.....

ON TOPIC
a small article and an asshole's editoral inspired me
 to write today even before i spend a hour
or so sorting out my weekly pills
-so this will be short?

how does fedgov downplay unemployment numbers?
simple they DO NOT Count workers
looking for more than a year nor "discourage workers"
who overlap with these numbers.

among most youths 18-25 black and brown
unemployment rates are around 50%
TWICE THAT OF WHITES
DURING THE FIRST
GREAT DEPRESSION, 
try finding that out on the lamestream MSM,.ha..

in my earlier screeds on this blog, when i first began,
i predicted that most jobs LOST (sic)
when Wall $treet crashed/trashed the World Ecomny
via bogus and extravagant
money moving practices and rampant
impossible home loans...
i may or may not have mentioned one improtant factor
in unionized blue collar job loss,
aside from the Koch Bros,Chamber of Commerce and
Mitt Romney style gazillionaire's greed;
Automation.... ROBOT LOVE.

here in "Paradise" s'cruz
we live about  70 minutes south of
Silicon Valley with it's
tech savvy worker bees.
i tokd Z Man who has worked
entry level fast food jobs
that some TECH PHARM in frisco
has developed a fast food robot that can take
and cook and deliver your order
in under a minute,
expect to see this soon.
there are already popular home cleaner
and janitorial/security robots
and NOW (sigh)
Silicon Valley is devloping
per our daily fishwrap,
the s'cruz sentinel -sic-,
a LETTUCE BOT
protoype for picking lettuce and soon
other farm fresh produce.

so what jobs will our youth and
undocumented workers have to look forward to?
in Europe they already developing tech to
eliimante hotel maids, yet another avenue for
economic  improvement...

DARPA  driverless cars prizes seek to elimante truckers
and their imperfect human drivers via autoamtion
and GPS lasers sights,
and an article this Sunday in the SF Chronicle
in the Business section,mentions a
new 330 pound robot that can see,feel, climb
and whatever, originally developed to help
in natural disasters
whereas the pentagon probably intends to cause them?

a panel query on Viewpoint on Current TV last week
asked "IS GOING TO COLLEGE STILL WORTH IT?"
to become yet another debt ridden "barista" before
that job too vanishes?

to improve your knowledge and humanity
tolive a better decent Life,
perhaps?
to lube and repair our soon to be self -repairing
and humanless upgrades and building
Robot Overlords...??????
the so called Kurzweil "SINGULARITY"
wherein robotic computing brainpower
 outstrips our own?
my techie pals are drooling at this thot\whereas i,of cousre,am not.
the old IBM slogan was
"Machines should work and people should think."

so what happens when humankind is needed for neither?
will we become obese fleshy drones hooked into feed tubes
while we spend meaningless lives addicted to
social media (sic)and video games?

it's no wonder that DYSTOPIAN Futures
are so popular now in most of our visual media now
- you can makes your own lists.
have we become primate  dinosaurs
who have  invented ourselves outof all relevance????

just a thot, as you were?
