Comment on The Automation Paradoxparent

Comments

I think the point is that indeed, there are no new "types" of jobs - only variations of the few basic ones. And automation is a problem because it eliminates types of jobs. For each labour-intensive profession you now have a corresponding machine. For each precision-related occupation you now have an industrial robot design. And nowadays we're coding up programs addressing brainpower-related jobs. What else is there? What other type of jobs we have left, and is there anything preventing them from falling prey to technological progress?
