&gt; However, this whole &quot;people need more skills&quot; and &quot;we need more jobs&quot; meme feels like a losing fight with reality.<p>In the long-term, sure: if we can successfully build an AI smarter than humans, it&#x27;s unlikely <i>any</i> job will survive. But at the same time, no job will need to; there&#x27;s a balance there.  Planning for a post-scarcity economy makes sense, but the plans that work in such an economy don&#x27;t necessarily work when scarcity still exists.
