"For the most part, all our jobs being taken by robots isn't that bad a
thing. What that would mean in practice is that we would have the same
standard of living that we have now, and wouldn't need to work for it.
That's actually pretty great.

The problem comes when the benefits from increased automation accrue,
not to society at large, but to one small subset of society: the robot
owners."

Share and enjoy,
