What Hacker News says?
Here is a text version of said talk: https://workforcefuturist.substack.com/p/building-a-world-wi... My own opinion: I think it's a tad bit too futuristic, something they admit. That we won't probably remove all jobs. However, even then I find the biggest concern to be our economic system, less work means more opportunities for big corps to be part of the de facto institution as a oligarchy.
