But long term, how does that pan out? The majority of people will be unemployed and have nothing?[/quote]

The next phase is Universal Basic Income, by which Musk and Thiel decide how much each unemployed peon deserves to receive. More money for each additional white Christian baby. Welcome to Hitler's America![/quote]

Not either of the PP, but even though this sounds outlandish -- it is really what the end result of automation looks like (coming from someone who has taught Econ 101).  People are divided even more extremely than they are now into the class of haves (owners and stakeholders of AI/automation) and have nots (people without employment/people who's productivity is too low to be in the labor force).  Then it is decided how much to compensate the lower class so that society is relatively stable. In addition to how much to compensate (universal basic income), the other important question is who decides this question.  These days looks like it's more likely to be a small class of multi billionaire.[/quote]
