We've had technology before. What we've never had in the history of mankind is technology that is smarter than humans.
That day is coming, for better or worse.

It’s been happening too. The real apocalypse right around the corner isn’t climate change IMO, it’s jobs. What happens when 30-50% of people can’t work, not because of an economic downturn, but because there literally aren’t that many jobs to be had?

What do we do with all the extra people with no jobs?
The robots have to be built, maintained, and programmed. Just like when computers were touted as taking jobs, they created more, but the skill set of those jobs changed.

Those jobs will be replaced by the making, selling, fixing, buying and marketing of robots.

That doesn't make it untrue. It just means technology development hasn't reached far enough yet. There is also maintenance cost vs human cost, and whether that's cheaper depends on the employer.
You are also assuming the displaced worker finds an equivalent paying job. In reality, many people are forced into a lower paying position due to automation.

And then the world really goes to shite.

Doesn't matter how cheap it is if you don't have an income.

If there is one thing I have learned in my many years it is don't put much faith in a expert's prediction.

I like to think we will adapt in some way.
For the past two centuries we have been coming up with ways to do jobs easier that requires less manpower.
With that said, if a third of the workforce losses their job to robots by 2030, I would imagine there will be a bigger gap in the classes.. Especially the gap between lower and middle class.

same as "pull up by bootstraps" capitalists expect.
Some winners, some dinners.

Actually, I read a book in the late 90s by the founder of the cart project at Stanford, where he said by 2018 it would be hard to tell whether you were communicating with a person or computer . This is probably true if you are talking about some of top AI today.
Also, I'll likely be retired by 2025, so good luck suckers.

What if robots take those jobs too?

Went to a global technology conference 3 years ago. Some of the stuff they are talking about and working on would blow your mind. A few random things that stuck out...
Long haul truck drivers are going to be replaced over the next 20-30 years. Vehicles will not even have a place for a human to sit. Trucks will run 24 hours a day and have full self-diagnostics running all the time. They will go in automatically for service or repair prior to break down. Everything will be monitored, tire vibration, heat of the tires, etc... crazy stuff.
Going to the drugstore to have a prescription filled will be a think of the past. They are already working on "printing" pills. Ever wonder why a 250 pound man and a 130 pound woman get the same prescription for something. In the near future most medications will be adjusted per the person taking it. Body weight, other prescriptions, etc... the prescription will take all of these factors in and then it will tailor printed for you. If you think this is a stretch understand that this is exactly the type of thing Theranos was trying to capitalize on. They envisioned their single drop blood test machine to be in everyone's home. You would test your own blood and the results would be sent wireless directly to your doctor for custom blended prescriptions based on those results. This stuff is much much closer to reality than you think.
Long term outlook for jobs is that sometime in the future, maybe 75 to 100 years from now the government will own every business out there and just about all of it will be handled by robots and AI. Citizens will be provided for. Yes... a democrats wet dream.
This is a small sampling.... some scary sounding shite I tell you.

Honestly, if you are a student of history, we’ve been here before as a society.
During the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions the western world completely and radically changed. Lots of political upheavals and wars as a result.
