I do think that eventually automation will become the bigger threat. The end-game will be a point where robots and completely automated systems create all the food, clothing and shelter needed for all of humanity, and nobody needs to work in order to maintain the infrastructure to provide for everyone's physical survival and a basic modern lifestyle. In order to get to the end-game where nobody works, we will have to pass through a point where, say, 50% of the people have to work -- and it seems like determining which half works, and what sort of accounting is used to justify the non-working half's resource consumption, is a recipe for revolution. Because it's a point that's so far away from what our institutions and culture have been set up to deal with.
