The part about automation is interesting to me. One of my long standing goals at work is to script some of the work we do. My group has six people in it. I think I could reduce that to five within ten years (or do more work with the same six). And this is just with an engineer cobbling together some halfway decent python code. Was that Japanese insurance company artificial intelligence article on Hubski? I suspect the work I do is too specialized to economically automate with artificial intelligence today. But the next generation will have to compete with cheaper and more powerful software. Will the next generation face decimation of cubical farms the way my generation faced the decimation of factory jobs?
