We should be thrilled that menial, manual, backbreaking labour is no longer required. We should celebrate the removal of these jobs.

I would love a world where people could choose their passion and follow it, safe in the knowledge that they would always have housing, warmth, health and food available to them.
“AI” and robotics could save us all and lead to a flourishing of creativity and human happiness.
But in the world where Amazon - and many other large corporations - can have an effective 0% tax rate and only the shareholders win out, this entire plan can go f*** itself.
And unfortunately it is neigh on impossible to imagine how the alternative could exist.
