We lack a socio-economic system where common people truly benefit from automation. We fear automation because it may replace our jobs. No worries, we'll make up some new bullshit jobs. Or maybe you can keep your job, and we raise the expectation of your output. It's all "running to stand still", not to mention sustaining yourself becoming ever more complicated and stressful. I wish we could escape this "job for job's sake" and to always output more in perpetuity. At what point do we have enough stuff and can start utilizing automation to improve people's lives, for example with less work hours, more economic security? This is an area in which zero progress is made in decades, if not negative progress.
