The idea that high unemployment is likely is just an artifact of bad monetary policy in 2010.

The entire time, automation people like Yang have been claiming unemployment was already happening, and yet it was constantly going down. Unemployment in the US is now lower than it’s been in decades.

It's not so much that it's a bad artifact of something in the past, it's more speculation about what will happen to employment of humans if/when companies can just create human-level AI that operates 1000x faster than fleshy humans for digital/white collar work, and just buy a Boston Dynamics style robot with a similar AI in it for blue collar work
