The article is notable for two points: 1. It discusses YC, and while the criticism of YC initiatives is shallow, that might still be of interest to HN crowd. 2. It references the fears expressed by JFK about automation stealing jobs in 1962, and then points out that employment numbers have almost tripled since then. While author hasn't delved into many details and nuances, the basic premise resonates with me - why are we worried about automation, when humanity has found new jobs across many waves of technical advancement? Also, why is UBI a good solution, when history has shown that communism or heavily socialist societies have failed repeatedly?
