Another one who doesn’t see what’s coming:

That’s just one example, and just the very beginning.

Even those whose careers might be the last to be eliminated, will find themselves in competition with refugees from obsolete careers, who went to school to qualify for the dwindling list of remaining careers.

And even then, how will those with careers that are the last to go, get paid when most people work as greeters or are on relief?

For example, trial attorneys might hold on for a while, but technology will likely greatly reduce the need for attorneys with such things as 24/7 monitoring of everyone’s action and/or by fool-proof lie detectors that use brain scans.

That’s just Apple’s Siri with a different form factor. Yes, it will reduce the need for people to look things up, or whatever else it does — but, that doesn’t mean that people won’t find other ways to make a useful contribution.

Granted, it’s likely that we’ll have lots of people who have no useful skills, or who are content with living off whatever wealth is distributed by their benevolent robot overlords. These people will likely take drugs, join in riots, vote Democrat, and otherwise be wastes of skin and oxygen. IOW, pretty much how things are now.
