In summary he is saying that your legal instrument is as good as the lawyer(s) wielding them. BigCorp will bury you in the legal process and send you bankrupt along the way.
You need to make it easy for companies to buy you out rather than to pursue the legal route. Sell out to a large corporate, and all of a sudden the legal instruments hold validity.
Ideas are a dime a dozen. In fact, when you think about it, ideas are an expense. It is the execution that matters. What can you build in a short space of time, and what can BigCorp provide you to expedite that process.
In an era of easy replication, it is nigh on impossible to protect the angle of the corkscrew for your wine bottle. Execute quickly, take the market using your lead, or watch the clones come into play. Same with software.
All well and good to say "horse and buggy" jobs disappeared 100 years ago, you will be fine.
There are two key differences that will make a stark impact:
1. Lowered standard of education
2. Faster pace of technological advancement - demanding constant upskilling
The problem here is that our edumacation factories have been designed to create good factory drones, and to help some rise above and get the tools to lead. We are all becoming leaders in our own right with automation. Delegation is a challenge where by the time everything has been explained, you are faster to have done it yourself, unless of course, if you have seen the movie before.
Every 5 years, the reset button is pressed, and everything starts from scratch again. Although the educational frameworks are changing, it will take at least another 30-40 years for that change to realistically bear fruit.
So factory workers and manual laborers will be left with a problem. They need to re-skill, or become entirely irrelevant. The results of this can be seen in rural England's factory towns. Factory closes, 3 generations are left unemployed and unemployable. There is no framework that currently exists to funnel and change that culture and to help and assist to re-educate.
The only realistic incentive to drive this, is drag and headwinds on the high end skillsets - i.e. you can't find enough skilled people, to the point that someone does something about it. Unlikely, as we are all geared to be opportunists these days, and that's "the governments problem."
The other one is that education becomes so cheap through automation itself, that bored individuals who want to do something better can get an entry level education, and hope that the previous statement holds enough so that they can get on the job training.
I love the whole "break down silos" mentality that basically pushes the organisation's role into the "cells" to be self sufficient and startup culture driven.
Like you said, if you can be successful under these operating conditions you can be successful anywhere. Leaves a big question for the businesses though, exactly why are we paying tithe to shareholders?
Never underestimate the power of middle management to corrupt and change the frameworks to becoming ineffective and suffering from a tragedy of commons.
I learned C++ in 1990. Whenever I had a problem, I couldn't google it. I didn't have peers of students and professionals on demand at stackoverflow, hell no.
I had the shitty floppy disks that came in the back of magazines, and when really desperate, programming BBS's that I would need to dial internationally to post questions on. Oh yeah, each question was like $10. Yes, back in 1990. That dial up was an expensive lunch.
And if you want to talk barriers to entry back then? How about a computer being roughly the same price as a second hand car?
One lawmaker argues that the bill is necessary because under the current system if a person phones in a swat call, "there's really no consequence for his actions."
So in other words, the police themselves are saying, whatever you do, don't call the police. If you call the police, innocent people are likely to die.
There are 2 challenges to the automation utopia...
1. The willingness or ability to volunteer or tax funds from the owners of the robots to hyperfund education to retrain the masses to where human effort is now needed
2. The willingness or ability for the displaced workers to retrain and become more cerebral and abstract in their tasks.
The known cure for these problems are time, what we do not have as we approach the singularity.
More importantly, good old Michael Neu probably answered an ad for too good to be true pay for light office work. These guys are called arrows, who receive and fire the money through a series of other persons.
Ladies and gentlemen, if the pay's too good and the work's too easy, no catch, it probably means you're involved in a scam.
Every poker table has a sucker. Look around the table. If you can't find him, congratulations, it's you.
This is just from the group that tried to say "think of the children!" getting tired of their own schtick and saying "think of the environment" for a change.
I'm just waiting for Amazon or Disney to state that consuming any content, anywhere, anyhow, in any shape or form is copyright and patent infringement and that damages must immediately be paid to them.
Sorry for feeding the troll, but I can say if it were my little girl (yes, she's white) that this happened to, then I would be thanking the doctors, even if it failed. What life is worth living under the "natural" state you see here.
I would also defend Dr. Frankenstein to the bitter end. For trying.
I frequently send my guys home during stressful times with instructions to go to bed early. Those that do get sent home again, those that don't get ground down until they say they need sleep.
It's an interesting empirical test within the teams, because the ones that go home early, get sleep, and come back, finish more work than the ones that grind themselves to a nub.
"I need to watch TV/You Tube/Play video games to relax" really doesn't seem to work. At least not according to my metrics.

Yeah, trust me. This stuff will give you shits just as well when the bubble bursts...
So we have blackjack, and the coke and hookers are on the dark web...
Gentlemen, we have a green light on the business plan.
Horsecrap it's harder today.

The pokemon, magic and other collecting cards model seems to be restricted to 18+ now in Germany then!

The robots won't kill us, they'll make us extinct by fulfilling our every desire.
This was nothing compared to the Peruvian "Lama induced" Internet outage of 2014. Six months without facebook.... geez

Just the smart ones, dum dum!
I can see this play out in the USA.
Guy is detected about to commit suicide. Police is sent.
Police first shoot guy's dog, then the guy.

Succinctly put:
People think agile is about "Getting shit done!".
It turns out to be "Getting shit, done!"

"Life savings?" $50 is less than $1000 bucks mate.
This.

Give the government *more* access Mr Ha? Ha ha ha...
