When I was a cab driver I picked up a guy first thing in the morning and took him to the airport. He told me that he worked for an insurance company and they were flying him out to somewhere in India to train someone to do his job. I pointed out that when his job moved overseas he would be made redundant. My customer told me that it wasn't important because of two things. One, if he didn't do it someone else would. Two, he got the free holiday anyway.<p>Working for UBER in any capacity is self-harm.<p>This company is bent on taking VC money and subsidising the workers who are paving the way for their own redundancy.<p>Not just UBER, others too. When robots/ai/automatons take all our jobs, how do we earn money to live on?
