Even if it does, if the rate of job automation is so quick that there’s no way for new workers to be trained before the job becomes obsolete, then it’s effectively unscalable? I’m not saying we’re in a post-scarcity situation yet, by any means, but it seems inevitable that if humanity continues in the same general direction, it’s only a matter of time before it happens. At which point, such a discussion is unavoidable.
