> This is a harbinger for a world where skilled workers can be replaced by amoral, skilled automatons. And?

  And we don't have any of the cultural, societal or economic infrastructure in place to ensure that it results in anything besides the top 0.01% capturing an increasing share of wealth. This will have horribly destabilizing effects on society and result in either violent revolution or a repressive dystopia depending on who wins

    Violent revolution and regressive dystopia seem to be necessary impetuses (impeti?) for social progress throughout history. It would be nice if we could avoid them, but will that really be possible when there are so many vested interests supporting the status quo? It's hard to pull roots without disturbing the soil.

    That's because we're pretty far from that utopia where everything is replaced with automation.
