const capital = () => [capital(), capital()] Humans are an implementation detail in that scheme. Economic power (the ability to extract, move and transform resources to perpetuate the economy) is gradually moving from people to capital. At some point in the future, it will not make sense for the industry to keep on feeding people, and people won’t have any power left to do something about it. The jobs you mention are peripheral things meant to keep meatware happy while it is still economically relevant. There are people who are starving today, whose will to live and imagination is as strong as yours. It turns out they are not economically relevant, and thus we let them die. I don’t expect an automated industry to care more about about us than we do about the unfortunate folks I just mentioned.
