It's cheaper and easier to automate white collar jobs than blue collar ones.

Fite me.

I'm a student majoring in accounting right now. If you took one accounting class you would know that you literally can't automate accounting.

Why not? Couldn't computers just record and balance credits and debits automatically, It's just numbers in two row of tables on a spreadsheet after all. Someone would need to enter the credits and debits but that can be set up automatically too if we move to a cashless society that will record every transaction, Which I think will happen.

How is a computer going to prepare a Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flow? How are they going to be able to respond to an SEC audit? How will the computer create the notes required by the SEC at the bottom of the various documents?

>> No.16882037

>>16882018
it could take all the transactions and generate those things, But the money flowing in and out of a company would have to be all electronic meaning no paper money and record every transaction. Until cash is no more then there will always be accountants, This is where AI and crypto come in but we shall see.

That is true. I think some manual labor sticks around way longer than people think. Automating white collar work just takes a pc with software loaded on it. Automating blue collar work takes steel, specifically designed machines, and probably more specially designed programs.

Also anytime a whole industry gets destroyed by automation, there will be tons of people looking for jobs keeping the labor supply high. Therefore, the cost of labor will go down, and everyone will get paid less due to automation.

I work a white collar job and I can easily see how me, and many around me can be easily replaced by machines. I ask many of my friends and they always say "rofl, no machine can replace what I do". I think most guys though have some gene in them that makes them refuse to admit they are inferior and replaceable. I think its just wishful thinking on their part.

I buy crypto every chance I get. I believe a job like mine could be partially automated by smart contracts in the not so far off future. I don't think there is any other way to escape permanent serfdom at this point other than being one who owns things. Hate to be a doomer but I think this is the truth.
