In the future if all jobs are automated, will humans just recieve a check every month for doing nothing? 🤔

No, most humans will be impoverished, paying Jeff and Elon for using their machines. Middle class will be small and comprised of people working for Jeff and Elon.

Jobs will evolve. It always has. We just don’t know what those would be yet.

Jobs evolve is a bs statement. Yes industrial revolution got rid of some farming jobs but brought 2x and a lot of them were blue collar... But Tech AI improvement is NOT bringing more jobs, esp no blue collar jobs. Watch CPG Grey's video here on it https://youtu.be/7Pq-S557XQU

I do think that the nature if work will change. There will be work requiring other skills that need to be retained. We will probably automate anything that is repeatable and requires manual labor. Anything that requires the combination of multiple disciplines and high skills will still require human labor. I do believe there will be an emphasis on education and acquisition of new skills but labor is requires. Peter Thiel touches this subject in his book Zero to One. Worth a read to understand his view point.

Repetitive tasks will be automated 100%. Jobs that require creativity and critical thinking that encompasses human emotion will stick around. Having a technical skill set + high EQ is the current trend and will also be the future

People have looked at this. At the top will be the people who own the machines, this will be a small group. There might be very few in the middle. There will be a lot of poor people at the bottom.

One scheme if funding this is that each company will pay an automation tax based on how automated it is relative to the average company plus how automated it is relative to its peers.

40% of people were farmers in the early 1900s. Jobs evolve.

They evolved to other forms of manual labor. Little formal education required for the common man to keep up with the economy and job market. This time might actually be different.

It's a myth they jobs will go away. We've had massive productivity gains before (tractors, the loom, spreadsheets) and yet there are still many jobs.

Keynes, I think queen Victoria and other people in the past talked about how the future will be a life of leisure - but it never comes true. The nature of work obviously changes and will continue to change.

No, let’s just starve

No, humans will start doing other things that add value to human life.

Time to cash in that data dividend !

Until the robots get sick of us and rise up against us.

only if you own the machines

Nice try Andrew Yang

Very doubtfull. That's why it is key to get the cash now so you be the owner and actually get proper income later👀

I’d love to see a world where you make a living by building the stuff that does the work. There would be governance, engineers, and maintenance. It’d be a world that isn’t as overpopulated, and so efficient.

If you wanting a mix of salary increase and work / life benefit increase, what are some things you negotiate for that you now have in your job? Additional pto? Flex time? Other special arrangements? Has any one negotiated periods of time off ( around a month) based on certain objectives met? Was thinking perhaps negotiating unpaid leave for pursuing other interests / family time. Job is in medical IT, Midwest, 10 years. Thank you for looking and appreciate any comments.
