gollark: I said "not".
gollark: - I think automation is generally good as it could/should lead to less work generally or more intellectual/interesting jobs- people are not sure about whether there will be/are people who can't find work given increasing automation- if there are then it appears as if there are not functional systems in place to cope with it
gollark: Probably.

gollark: Greetings, mortal.
