AI-enhanced Smart Machines and Software Will Endanger Some White-Collar Jobs

It’s certainly the case that low-skilled immigrants will not be employable in the coming automated economy when robots can perform simple tasks cheaply 24/7 with no coffee breaks.

Some Believe Life Will Improve for All in the Automated Future

One of the reactions to the dire predictions of mass unemployment in the automated future is to claim that it won’t be a problem at all.

Self-Driving Car Introduction Will Be Postponed

Serious technical difficulties regarding the safety of autonomous vehicles have been noticed by the executives who run automotive development, according to the New York Times.

Robot Dishwasher Promises Less Human Scrubbing Will Be Done in Restaurants

Dishwasher seems like a perfect job for newbie unskilled immigrants: English is not required and training is probably an hour, max. It’s one of the more basic jobs. In fact, an open-borders booster website says, Immigrant Dishwashers Do the Jobs Americans Don’t Want, so we spoiled citizens apparently need foreigners to keep our plates clean.

Artificial Intelligence Will Revolutionize Society within 30 Years Says CEO

In Washington these days, even the supposed defender of sovereignty, President Trump, now admits he thinks increased immigration is needed to fill job slots.

Baltimore: Catholic Church Issues IDs for Illegal Aliens, and Police Recognize Them

Vaticrats have long had delusions of governance, extending even to the United States. In fact, it’s not the first time the anti-borders church has handed out fake identification for illegal aliens whom the church hopes will be suitably grateful: last spring it was a Dallas catholic church handing out rudimentary fake IDs.

In years past, […]

Did Robots Help Donald Trump Win the Presidency?

During the last presidential campaign, I paid close attention to hear any mention from the candidates about automation as a cause of future job loss, but it never was forthcoming.
