That’s an interesting thought, and probably along the lines of what @astazangasta was getting at.
I guess work has been shifting toward service industries for a long time now, particularly in the west where a lot of labour has already shifted off shore.
I do notice a tendency in these discussions though to underestimate the impact automation and machine learning is going to have in the near future.
I’m glad to see this kind of discussion becoming more common, it’s a looming crisis and I think we already know that government is ill-equipped and unwilling to act.
Edit: OK so apparently the issue is so topical at the moment it got covered in Tom the Dancing Bug, where everything I said was surmised in one pithy panel. I’m the one who’s out of the loop…
