SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the future professions in an increasingly automated economy, highlighting the potential rise of unconventional jobs such as warriors, gladiators, and entertainers. Participants express skepticism about mainstream science fiction scenarios, particularly regarding transhumanism and brain-computer interfaces. The conversation emphasizes that while automation will change job landscapes, it may lead to a demand for more niche and entertainment-focused roles rather than traditional employment. The forum moderator ultimately closed the discussion, citing adherence to forum rules against speculative topics.

What do you think, what will be the professions of future, when we can automatize more and more jobs?

Could be the list changed by introducing transhumanism? (I rather think in direct brain-computer contact than someone willingly replace limbs for example.)

This trend is already well in progress. More jobs for warriors, gladiators, prostitutes, and show girls. Rich people go for frivolous excitement.

I can imagine things going into different directions, but any such is not mainstream science fiction and discussion of such is against forum rules.
 
The purpose of this forum is not to skirt forum rules. Closed.
