I don't know why people are afraid of this. I mean, I know why, but I think we should be welcoming it with open arms. It simply means we are advancing as a society as trivial jobs are being delegated to robots, leaving people to A)have more leisure time and B) focus on more important things.
It's very shortsighted IMO.

Ya, I'm not afraid of it at all. I could see a day some time when technology really does free up a great deal of leisure time and capitalism (or whatever economic theory you prefer) may not be needed to efficiently allocate resources due to abundance.
I just don't think this technological shift is particularly close. But maybe it is.
