Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Chapter 12: What Will Happen to our Jobs?
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
The bottom line is that there will be a time, and it’s almost here, when
jobs will be sparse because they have been taken over by machines that can
work around the clock for no other cost than repairs, which is something
the robots eventually will be able to do themselves, as long as the companies
provide them with body parts and electricity. This situation is creeping up
on us gradually, but one day many people will find themselves without jobs
in a job market that doesn’t need their services and skills anymore. We can’t
stick our heads in the sand because the time will soon come. Therefore, it is
imperative that we know how to proceed at that point and not become the
victims of circumstances.
