I think the 'grow at 10%' refers to the incremental part of the entire world/market.

during the industrial revolution(steam/electricity/internet), the world was growing, there're trains, cars, netflix

bussiness grown with productivity growing, even so, we lived through 2 world wars and dozens of economic crisis

but now is very different, when you repair the tank with LLM's help, when the labour value of repairers is decreased, there's no addition value are produced

there's a very simple thought experiment abt the result of productivity growing alone:

let's assume robotics become to a extremely high level, everything humen work can be reduced to 1/100 with help of robots, what will happen next?

We work 35 hour years instead of 35 hour weeks?

It's always worth reminding people that wealth accumulation in the insanely rich isn't the only option

You’re describing exactly what happened during both the Industrial Revolution and the advent of computer automation.

Prior to computerization and databases, millions of people were required for filing, typing, and physically transporting messages and information. All of those jobs, entire fields of work were deleted by computerization.

Even "computer" was originally a job title. For a person.
