Are you going to be automated soon?

[Lonestar]

I do both user support(28%), Systems administrator(not listed...but it's actually fairly automated. I assume this falls under "IT Operatiosn Technician" which is fairly high), and some obscure comms stuff(I guess "other telecom professional", 28%).

[Lonestar]

And of course lawyers are at 3%.

[Aeson]

Because if someone tries to automate their job they'll get sued.

The real reason is computers will never lie as well as humans.

Same here.
Or, if we say it with the color codes of the RPG Paranoia Complex:

That is, until we manage to program our first HAL 9000 AI

I believe we can already automate the function of posting inane things online.

Fun activity: find how far you can type "Humans need not apply" before Google fills in the rest for you. (for me it was "humans n")

I'm choosing to reply now

I could at any time

allday

in my undies

maybe you can ask permission later... and join the discussion

[Lorizael]

I'm choosing to reply right now. Later I'll be choosing to learn about quantum mechanics and planetary geology. And later still I'll be choosing to talk to some old people on the phone for a bit so that a company gives me the opportunity to choose to do the first two things.

Likelihood of automation? It's quite unlikely (4%)

How this compares with other jobs: 311th of 366

such a smart guy

and yet

not

[Lorizael]

Well, I'm way happier now doing something with my life than I was sitting around in my underwear all day, so it seems I've made nothing but smart choices.
