We have "global warming" and "climate change" as snappy titles for an important looming issue, but we also need one for the growing loss of jobs and the decay of job quality due to ever-increasing automation. At some point, machines will run nearly everything. It could become a humanistic utopia - but only if we elect leaders who recognize this social change as worthy of their attention, and start programmes to prevent their countries from falling into widespread and devastating unhappiness.

@lritter It's also important to recognize that automation is 1) inevitable as long as human ingenuity exists and 2) is not the enemy.

The ideology that prescribes that you need to have a paid job in order to survive is.

@drq @lritter Finally someone who sees it this way. I cringe every time I see "Automation bad" and "AI evil".

I'd love to see most of my job made obsolete if the added productivity benefited those who no longer need to work instead of those who already have more than they could ever need.
