Don't confuse a reduced number of jobs that can be replaced by machines or algorithms with total capacity or demand for human labor.

- dgunn 14y agoI'm not sure anyone would confuse those things. I just think eventually, employable people will be greater than the number of jobs to perform. In a world where you've always received money, food, etc as a result of your contributions, how do you get these things without a means of contributing?
- groby_b 14y agoWell, we've been there before - more people than needed to do all the work available. As a result, we instituted the idea of servants. So get used to a future where you either have a personal entourage, or will be busy doing errands for people who actually have money. And chances are much higher for the latter.
