Re: World's First Kitchen-Free, Robot-Run Fast-Food Restaurant
#2When I was a teenager the most popular part time jobs among my piers were either working in a supermarket or at a fast food place.
Lots of supermarkets are starting to replace humans with self-checkouts and things like this will probably become standard in fast food.
So how is a teenager supposed to fund his pot habit in 2020?

#3It sounds like they are a long way from actually operating a restaurant. This is just speculative hype.
"Momentum Machines – the minds behind the burger maker — have expressed plans to create their own “smart restaurant” chain, serving burgers made by their own crime-fighting cooking robots. According to the company’s site, the technology will provide “the means for the next generation of restaurant design and operation.”"

In 2020, they will probably be able to grab some weed from the family pantry.
On a different note, I am curious to see how economy and society will shape up once most low entry barrier jobs are automated.

It's a triumph that we're automating these kind of jobs. Why are we wasting human talent on inane jobs like store checkout or junk food production? Every person in one of those jobs is a wasted mind. If we could put those minds to work on something meaningful think what we could achieve.

More importantly, how will people learn basic job skills, like "show up on time" and "do what you're told" if all the traditional first jobs are automated?

I have a feeling that many low barrier jobs will end up being stuff that is either dangerous or morally gray (I forsee a booming market for sex work for example). So a lot of stuff that people wouldn't be comfortable with minors doing.

Isn't that what schools do? Or actually, parents before you get to school age?

True, but of course not all minds are created equal.
There is also the risk that they put those minds to work on something that is not so meaningful (e.g crime).
