    Maybe the worry for the next 20 years is that we will only get jobs fixing the robots but the economy used to be 90% farmers that’s not actually worrying to me.

    The scary part is that eventually the robots can fix themselves better than we can and there will be literally no reason for most humans to work. We really have to get working on a plan for that. Our only plan so far as automation has made us more productive is to continue working the same amount but on different things, and AGI is where that really breaks down.
