  1. always gonna need technicians to maintenance the robots. And technicians to maintenance the robots that were made to maintenance the robots. Yes, the singularity will have the opposite effect on humankind, more jobs will be created for everybody, assuming, of course, that the people continue to seek knowledge and education and do not give into tyranny and serfdom. The road to serfdom, as it were.

  2. robots have already taken plenty of human jobs. Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Toyota, Daimler, et cetera, they all automated their factories decades ago. I remember watching Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood as a small child in the 1980’s, on PBS, and one of the episodes showed the robots building the cars way back then. Yah. So yes, robots have replaced many human jobs already and will continue to do so, regardless of whether or not full artificial intelligence is achieved in robots. Regardless of whether or not the singularity occurs. Both of these men know these facts, intrinsically, through and through, already.
