Changes are good. But as the skill requirement keeps rising, more and more people will find themselves unemployable in principle. Sure, it may be a transitional period, but what are you going to do if suddenly half of your extended family will depend on your income?

Well, let me lay out the plan for you that Zuckerberg et al have in mind. 1. Create AI 2. Purge 80 - 90% of humanity in a WW 3. Live as kings of the planet indefinitely (since AI will have figured out a way to stop aging in humans by then). Personally, I have no problem with this plan even if it means my death, and that feeling is confirmed every time I turn I read the news.
