If Thrun is right about AI "outsmarting people in every dimension", how in the world could more entertaining job training videos organized into "nanodegrees" help us at all? I know this article was just a free ad for Udacity so he had to say self-serving things, but do you think the dude really believes this??? As others have pointed out, the real problem before us this century is to somehow decouple having a basic standard of living from performing work---more specifically from "contributing to productivity". My amateur guess is that even with our current state of food and energy production, the biggest barrier isn't the massively difficult economic and organizational problem, but advancing as a culture beyond our entrenched moral assumption that the means for basic living is something to be earned rather than a human right.
