Eliminating jobs should be the point of progress. When we get worried that we're going to ruin lives and economy by eliminating jobs with technology what we're really saying is that our system is too fucked to deal with progress.
Of course, we already knew that. See: bullshit jobs, artificial scarcity, etc. But we'll keep on regardless, no matter how many poors have to suffer.

- romankolpak 4y ago"too fucked" sounds a bit too extreme, but I agree. it's an interesting problem that we need to learn how to solve - what do you do with people whose jobs have been automated? capitalists won't do shit, so governments need to step in and make sure the portion of the profit from automation progress gets invested into the professional transition assistance programs to those who need it.
