For workers wondering how far artificial intelligence could go, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has a straightforward answer — AI is going to change the job market, whether people are ready for it or not. Some jobs will disappear, others will change and new ones will likely emerge. But Dimon warned that the speed of that transition could matter just as much as the technology itself.

"As a business person, my view is don't put your head in the sand," Dimon said at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in January. "It is what it is. We're going to deploy it. Will it eliminate jobs? Yes. Will it change jobs? Yes. Will it add some jobs? Probably."

They spend so much on eliminating jobs and social programs. The government enables this by giving them tax cuts with money obtained by taking food out of the mouths of children? We could never "afford" universal health-insurance, but we could afford to invest in eliminating human workers that just want to put a roof over their head?

Seems like a recipie for guillotines.

there are still people making cloth by hand, though. They're able to do it because there are others willing to pay a premium for handmade goods or simply because they have their needs met and are thus free to do it without worrying about profit.

The same logic extends to basically anything, the only thing holding us back from having people do work is that we as a society have decided that it's ok for a few people to exploit everyone else and keep resources out of our hands.
We more than have the technology to live in what for all intents and purposes is a post-scarcity world.
