    I hope that’s how it works out. I guess it will depend on how the balance of power is set up between workers and employers in your region and profession. In practice I’m worried that it won’t work out well for most of us.

    The rich folks still need everyone earning money though otherwise nobody will buy their stuff so hopefully some kind of solution is reached that can benefit everyone.

      To be fair, if we could achieve a fully autonomous robotic workforce (read: roboslaves) that can do everything a human can do, it would go one of two ways:

      1. Everyone benefits from the reduction in labor needs and humanity works toward a post scarcity future

      2. The wealthy hoard the workforce, and keep everyone else under their boot.

      Which do you think would be more likely?
