Judging by how often this meme gets upvoted on HN, a lot of entrepreneurial-minded people are thinking about it. My initial reaction, conditioned by years of reading startup news - and it's probably the same reaction many of us have to these articles - is "how would someone make money off this trend". I'd like to see how someone can make money off reversing this trend of human unemployment. Meaning to say, can entrepreneurs create profitable businesses by finding ways, or creating markets, for average humans to stay genuinely productive and feel valuable and independent? A world where those basic needs aren't being met isn't going to be safe for anyone, except maybe those rich enough to maintain their own (robotic?) security force. We see a lot of activity in the "train to be a hacker" arena, but as has been mentioned, probably not everyone who wants to make a living is fit for that type of work. There are comments in this thread about how it's better to be on the side that's winning than the side that's losing, and there's a sense of resignation.
