Machines will soon overtake us, just like how the use of horses in transportation just few decades ago because of the invention of vehicles which uses steam engines that is more efficient and less maintenance than an animal who needs food and water and ofcourse needs to rest just like humans do. Actually we as well are slowly replaced by machines or artificial intelligence in terms mass production because machines are more consistent on doing heavy work that humans can't do. To be precise they are called industrial robots, the ones that are taking our jobs, that a recent research shows a dramatic degree to which they are replacing human workers and will lead to forcing our wages down.
According to George Dvorsky Blog "ROBOTS ARE ALREADY REPLACING HUMAN WORKERS AT AN ALARMING RATE" each industrial robot in the United States reduces the employment by almost 6 workers and this robot that is added is equivalent to 0.25-0.5 % wages drop of a thousand human workers. This is also the conclusion by Daron Acemoglu of MIT and also Pascual Restrepo of Boston University.
For this new research or study , Restrepo and Acemoglu tred to look at industrial robot's effects on local labor markets on the duration of 1993-2007, defining an industrial robot as "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable and multipurpose machine.
This study of the two specifically concentrate on machines that doesnt require human efforts to do the tasks for example painting, assembling, welding, packaging and handling materials. And with these rough informations maybe humans in a few more years will be no longer needed to work manually thats why this cryptocurrency mining using human body is a good start so that human works are still needed in future's economy.
Take your time to watch the short video above made by The CoinTelegraph. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, this will greatly affects our usefulness in work or jobs specially on intellectual labor. That is why the INSTITUTE OF HUMAN OBSOLESCENCE invented this machine or equipment that can make human labor still matter even up to the future by means of biological labor.
The IoHO explores this scenario & tries to ask questions on how to reposition the role of humans in today's society , particularly how to cope with a labor-market dominated by machines - according to http://speculative.capital/
BIOLOGICAL LABOR
This will explore our potential to produce capital by cryptocurrency mining through our body's heat. Just alone in Netherlands there were approximately 1,700 KW of not used to the maximum benefit electricity to be harvested heat from human body. Now what we can benefit from it is that the electricity extracted can be used to run cryptocurrency mining through wearing the body suit that runs computers, and this computers are the ones that mine the cryptos. No worries ladies and gentlemen because we can work just by laying down on a bed doing nothing day dreaming lol, its because of the reason that the body-suit maintains our body temperature while wearing it. Maybe you wanna sing "THE LAZY SONG" of Bruno Mars while mining haha.
That is all for now guys hope you learn something from this post. I also put the reference right down below so you can check it out too. And dont forget to follow me too @julstamban.
