I see the solar energy, 3D printing, AI, and materials handling technology all creating a situation in which most jobs are unnecessary or voluntary in another 2-3 decades.

Once the technology that produces the petri dish veal ‘marries’ the 3D printing technology, you will essentially have the replicator from Star Trek. So long to starvation, as long as stuff (anything really) carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen is around to feed into the machine.

Want something made? Even if it is a house, download the software, make the parts for it, and ‘rent’ some robot time to put your house together.

That software can’t be free and neither can the design be free, otherwise there is no motivation to create it. Want a cool house? We’re looking at an explosion in design options and variety, an explosion in novel materials and construction methods. Cheap it cannot be, though. Look at the supply chain required to make that cool house possible. They’re not slaves.
