Even better explained by CGP Grey:

Why this time automation is different

We´ve spent the last over a thousand years building tools to reduce physical labour. We created mechanical MUSCLES, that helped economy grow and standards of life rise.

Now, we´ve build mechanical MINDS that are making human brain labour easier.

This is an economic revolution not comparable to the previous ones.

For example, get to know the new kind of automation: Baxter, a flexible robot that learns what you want him to do. He is not pre-programmed to do only one specific job. He can do whatever is at the reach of his arms. Baxter is a “General purpose robot”.

Self-driving cars are the first place where most people will really see the robots changing society. But there are many other places in the economy where the same thing is happening, just less visibly.

Professionals, white-collar workers and low-skill workers all have to worry of automation. Also creative people. This is not science fiction, the robots are here and right now.

This video isn’t about how automation is bad – rather that automation is INEVITABLE. It is a tool to produce abundance for little effort. We need to start thinking now about what to do when large sections of the population are unemployable. What to do in a future where, for most jobs, humans need not apply.

Por qué esta vez la automatización es diferente

Hemos pasado los últimos mil años construyendo herramientas para reducir el trabajo físico. Creamos MÚSCULOS mecánicos que ayudaron a la economía a crecer y a elevar el estándar de vida.

Ahora, construimos MENTES mecánicas que facilitan el trabajo cerebral humano.

Esta es una revolución económica no comparable a las anteriores.

Por ejemplo, conozcan al nuevo tipo de automatización: Baxter, un robot flexible que aprende lo que quieras que haga. Él no está pre-programado para hacer solo un trabajo específico. Él puede hacer lo que sea que esté al alcance de sus brazos. Baxter es un "robot de propósito general".

Los autos que se manejan solos son el primer lugar donde la mayoría de la gente realmente verá que los robots cambian a la sociedad. Pero hay muchos otros lugares en la economía donde lo mismo está sucediendo, de manera menos visible.

Los profesionales, los trabajadores administrativos y los poco calificados deben preocuparse por la automatización. También la gente creativa. Esto no es ciencia ficción, los robots están aquí y ahora.

Este video no trata sobre cómo la automatización es mala, sino sobre que la automatización es INEVITABLE. Es una herramienta para producir abundancia con poco esfuerzo. Necesitamos comenzar a pensar ahora qué hacer cuando grandes sectores de la población no pueden ser empleados. Qué hacer en un futuro donde, para la mayoría de los trabajos, los humanos no necesitan postularse.

Grey’s new video about severed corpus callosum. I thought it was wildly interesting, as someone entering neuroscience, but for such an interesting topic, CPG Grey had a distinct lack of sourcing in his video. So for anyone who watches this and finds it interesting, here’s some more thorough information about the effects of this procedure that may go a little deeper than the video:

- A video about severed corpus callosum (A little old, but still very interesting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfGwsAdS9Dc

- Some of the many works by R.W. Sperry:

As with all the content created by CPG Grey, this video is informative and interesting. It's also an excellent, quick over-view for lit students working with olders texts from Great Britian. I know that I've found the historical context of who was in power of England often comes up in my classes, and now I can actually follow along with the names.
