Elon Musk along with others assumes rather believe that humanoid robots will lead to a government-funded UBI utopia, but I think the free market is going to take a different path to solve the loss of physical labor jobs. 10 Years: Automated goods become dirt cheap. A robot-made house or car costs a fraction of what it does today. Mass-produced goods lose all their status value. 25 Years: The economy violently shifts toward the “Experience Economy.” People will pay massive premiums for human-made art, artisan cooking, live entertainment, and extreme hospitality. 50 Years: 90% of humanity is employed in the business of human connection. Robots handle survival and infrastructure; humans become a planet of creatives, caregivers, and entertainers. But I still ponder Can a global economy of 8+ billion people realistically sustain itself entirely on art, therapy, and entertainment? Like what’s the point of being human? submitted by /u/gkv856
