Honestly, I am a skeptic on that. It is what they said about tractors, typewriters, almost every invention you can think of and it never has happened.
Oh come on now :/ Please watch the video and comment back! It really is an important topic, if not the most important topic related to UBI. It's very bothersome that no one is worried about this.
Marx predicted the end of capitalism once we reached a level of automation that kills a large percentage of jobs. It already happened, and he was wrong. Capitalism is remaining, stubbornly, as the only way people think the world makes sense. As the video warns, we are not prepared for this.
I work in technology, and see colleagues getting laid off left and right, after building self-sustaining systems that require almost no human to run reliably. The field in which the middle class is relying now, is the field of killing jobs through technology. How come corporations already know the most profitable future (for them) is automation replacing humans, but politicians/intellectuals refuse to take that future seriously?
