> humans won't need to do "work" for all of our needs to be met. Ie, we can all go on perpetual holiday and/or work on things we truly love. Unfortunately that's sci-fi utopianism - capitalism doesn't work like that. We've made enormous productivity gains over the past century, and yet we're still all working roughly the same hours (albeit with some additional worker protections) as workers back then, many of us at "bullshit jobs" that don't really need to exist. When our sectors are automated, guess what - the only people retiring early will be those who own IP or have stock in the corporations who own the automation. Those automated out of jobs will have to find something else to do.
