            gollark: It also seems unlikely that we would suddenly jump from the current situation where a bit of stuff is automated and quite a lot isn't to everyone being immediately unemployed, so you can notice and do stuff about it in the interval. Restructure the economy for post-material-scarcity or whatever. No idea how that would *work* but oh well.
            gollark: If you can make robots/AI/whatever do any work you want easily, I'm sure you could make a few to produce food and whatever without problems.
            gollark: Also, congratulations on successfully (so far) navigating the horrors of the UK university system.
            gollark: Our culture has such a bizarre obsession with hard work.
            gollark: I don't see how replacing humans in jobs is a *bad* thing.
