Ah the upcoming "automation utopia" will "free man from the chains of labour" to pursue their passions -- at least that's what they will tell us while SF firms endlessly drive towards automating more people's jobs away while they rake in the cash. My worry is the lengthy, inevitable in-between time of human suffering and corporate greed until something bursts and we actually pass 21st century laws like Basic income, vote in technology-competent politicians, etc. It is my worry, as well.
