"Automate things" is an incredibly coy way of saying "destroy other people's jobs" unless or until all of the magical information economy jobs politicians and industry mouthpieces have been promising for the last 30 years start to materialize.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoNo. There won't be more "information economy jobs". You need to index the work week, wages, and entitlements to productivity. As less labor is required, we ask less of labor and pay it more for what work it does do.
- knieveltech 10y agoI agree wholeheartedly. The grim reality is there are no market forces presently that incentivize the system you are describing.
