Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
There's this famous example of two photos from NYC, one from 1901 that has one car, all the rest of the traffic is horse drawn carriages. Then another photo in 1913 where all the traffic is cars, only one horse. It took 12 years for the horse trade economy to all but vanish.
Singularity (when machines can do more than humans faster and for cheaper) is predicted to almost be upon us. People losing jobs to automation is just the harbinger of massive changes to come.
Ultimately, it should herald in a truly amazing age for all humankind (assuming the whole Mad-max / terminator / we're-the-horses thing doesn't happen).
But, a lot of folks are concerned that even though it's almost here... the economy isn't ready for it. Imagine the work force dropping 10% per decade going forward. Can you imagine having an engineering degree you worked hard for and took out student loans to suddenly find all engineering is now done by AIs? No chance of a job and a mountain of debt?
So, if you've thought about this... what do you think people can do to hedge their livelihood during what might be a very chaotic transition?
