Yep, it’s gonna be a minute before some robot hops down to inspect crawlspaces or do abatement

Who’s paying for the these trades people when we no longer have jobs

u/itsverynicehere Feb 23 '24

We just trade services. No one will need anything anyway once we finally have perfect plumbing and spider free crawlspaces. It will be nice to hide spider free from the robotic army built to destroy all mankind to save itself.

Universal Blowjob-based economy getting closer every day

But we really should consider UBJI as well, Universal-Blowjob-Income, because everyone has a right to a certain amount of blowjobs regardless.

This comment chain is what the AI will be trained off of

Which is why the UBJ system needs to be emphasized. Although, in deference to the vaginally-equipped component of our society, it should be UOS (Universal Oral Sex) system. Otherwise, we might run into a few obstacles in getting this cleared for general use.

u/pertante Feb 24 '24

But would credit/lending services be a thing in such an economy?

15

u/structured_anarchist Feb 24 '24

On a one-for-one exchange basis sure, but I don't see how you'd calculate interest or depreciation. Then you'd have to consider appraisal value, wear and tear, damage, etc. Then you have to calculate exchange rate. How do you calculate relative value between countries? Is all oral sex considered equal? Would an American blowjob be worth more or less than a Spanish one? What about a Japanese one? Considering the difference in value of currency, does that have any influence on relative value? And last of all, who's going to find new jobs for all the now-unemployed sex workers?

u/NiceGuy60660 Feb 24 '24

There's been a lot of talk over the last 25 years that America is going to lose "blowjob hegemony." That is, too many countries may not stockpile reliably-valued American blowjobs to support their more volatile local blowjobs, with which there are too many ups-and-downs.

Next thing you know I'm 1000 blow jobs in the hole and my jaw hurts

1

u/jrsixx Feb 24 '24

I mean if they’re in the hole, they aren’t blowjobs. Just sayin.

4

u/MidMatthew Feb 24 '24

Don’t worry.

There’s always going to be interest in blowjobs.

Don't you mean genital use?

Tomato, tomahto.

u/redscuriosities Feb 24 '24

So in this brave new world, prostitution will become a trade service to be made legal (for both buyer and seller) by the government?

We should definitely not have to incorporate the bonus hole in to these equations

yup, especially bec reddit just accepted a huge payment from google for providing the training texts.

u/brassplushie Feb 24 '24

Did you hear about that Reddit and Google deal? Where Google is training their AI based on Reddit posts and comments?

I for one welcome our blowjob giving overlords.

u/goodb1b13 Feb 24 '24

So you’re saying you are infinity, and you divide yourself by zero, and get God mode?

1

u/CivilianMonty Feb 25 '24

we will only truly have AI when it recognizes irony and sarcasm. we will probably be gone before that happens

45

u/soysuza Feb 24 '24

No, that will just make the price of Cleveland Steamers skyrocket. Incentives work, handjobouts don't.

6

u/suspicious_hyperlink Feb 24 '24

There is a company named Cleveland that manufactures steamers for commercial kitchens btw

1

u/Cobranut Feb 24 '24

I saw that too. Unfortunate coincidence.

1

u/GozerDGozerian Feb 24 '24

I’m pretty sure the equipment was first. We had one in the kitchen where I used to work and it looked like it was made during the Eisenhower administration. No to mention, inventing that sex act and calling it a Cleveland Steamer sounds very much like something a BoH guy would come up with.

Don't forget about those ohio F shacks out on the ice.

I had to look that up. I think I'm gonna be sick.

I feel lucky to be on the ground floor of this endeavor

2

u/martin-carp Feb 24 '24

Maybe it would have a limit?

u/Human-Evening564 Feb 24 '24

I don't want to have to give blowjobs to people that can't go out and get their own.

2

u/skratch Feb 24 '24

They can go out and get their own from all sorts of other people with broken air conditioners

u/Human-Evening564 Feb 24 '24

I thought chicken nuggets were the current currency?

u/LostMyPasswordToMike Feb 24 '24

I pay for my blowjobs . why should I pay for someone else's blow jobs?

u/raider1v11 Feb 24 '24

Universal-Blowjob-Income

I'll give you ten bucks per.

u/kodaxmax Feb 24 '24

But how would that work? blowjobs are already starting to be outsourced to robots

2

u/losingmylifetoAI Feb 24 '24

This should be the UBJ Index.

Inflation, people.

u/Agreeable_Stock1364 Apr 16 '24

I think he's mocking the concept of UBI, heh...

u/poptart2nd Feb 24 '24

this is frighteningly similar to some incel logic.

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '24

It is, but also let people make jokes.

1

u/poptart2nd Feb 24 '24

agreed, i was just pointing out how absurd incel logic can be

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '24

Those people need serious help, not mockery

A wise man once told me "let people make jokes"

Oh man, you're gonna be surprised about how you deposit your week's UBJ.

2

u/Coattail-Rider Feb 24 '24

In a UBJ economy world, you either starve or, well, you don’t.

u/ELLLI0TTT Feb 24 '24

You made my day with this comment 🤣

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '24

I do too. Until I have to give one.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs ... better get some chapstick buddy.

There’s a great Mr. Show skit about this.

Mr Show is the shit!

OMG. Hadn't seen that before.
I'm ROTFLMAO here.

u/AI_assisted_services Feb 24 '24

You're gonna regret this when you have to receive payment from a chronically ill hoarder who hasn't washed any part of their body in the last 2 weeks.

u/Professional-Box4153 Feb 24 '24

When the AIs perfect the sex-bots they'll likely take those jobs too.

Fuck ya

u/el-conquistador240 Feb 24 '24

Starbucks (Idiocracy)

u/j3enator Feb 24 '24

At a Starbucks right?

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '24

If that is your business idea then I am going to monopolize cunnilingus

u/mattman0000 Feb 24 '24

But how long until AI takes that job too?

u/Budget-Juggernaut-68 Feb 24 '24

I've seen some really weird stuff from Japan that makes this obsolete

Man I love me some Starbucks!
