The Blue Collar Delusion: Why the machines don't have to climb up to us

한 기계공은 블루칼라 직종이 AI와 자동화에 더 안전하다는 통념에 반대하며, 실제로는 산업 구조가 로봇과 기계에 맞게 재설계되고 있다고 주장한다. 자동차 제조업체들이 차량을 수리 불가능하게 설계하고, 공장과 작업장이 인간 대신 로봇에 최적화되는 사례가 늘고 있어, 기계가 인간의 작업 방식을 그대로 따라잡을 필요 없이 작업 환경이 기계에 맞춰 변화할 것이라고 설명한다. 이는 블루칼라 직종도 AI와 자동화의 영향을 크게 받을 수 있음을 시사한다.

A coworker is going to see #Springsteen at #MadisonSquareGarden next weekend. I used to love Springsteen--saw him twice in the 1980s and he put on an amazing show both times. Tickets were $25, which was pricey at the time.

Seeing how much his tickets are these days (cheapest I saw for the day she's going was $411)? How do people still think he's a man of the people, that he supports #BlueCollar #workers? He's a fraud. This is probably not news to anyone here, but it's just irking me today.

I bought these tools, I'm gonna use em, dammit #bluecollar

Sometimes #IT looks a little #bluecollar too. Just a little, as a treat 🩷

로보틱스의 긴급성이 커지고 있으며 작성자는 화이트칼라 업무가 문자 그대로 12개월 내에 완전 자동화될 수 있다고 주장. 다음 전선은 블루칼라 작업이며, 극히 뛰어난 블루칼라 노동자는 미래의 'NBA 선수'와 같을 것이라는 비유를 통해 블루칼라 자동화의 중요성을 강조.
