Computerized computer programmers (at 48%) - strikes me as a science-fiction distopia in the making.  :D

Much the same as computerised taxi drivers.

This is not the home you were looking for.

Robot cooks?
Why not?  I'm surprised no fast food places have those yet.  With margins as small as they have they should really be interested in automating that.

I hope computerized taxi drivers are like the one in Total Recall. :)

If the future hasn't improved since Total Recall, I for one don't want it.

Does the order of magnitude of the inequality matter to you?

Nope.

Nope.

What about the growing lack of social mobility?

They'd all be modelled after models. With A cups. And the personality of your average sit-com, while reminding us of our mums.
The future is going to suck sweaty elephant balls.

That is dystopia for you.

Gotcha.

So it seems you agree with facts the article describes, but not the conclusion it draws.

What about waiters?  I'd love to be able to order my restaurant food with an ipad.  I've seen some high-end restaurants in China do it.  It is perfectly workable.

Not sure how you would automate the delivery of the food.
