    At what point do we move from an economy based on working all-together to one where ALL our basic needs are met. One where we enjoy life and when we do "work" we are creating art, exploring space, discovering cures for the common cold. I think once we realize that most jobs are unnecessary, we can come together and be a better species.

    I think we’ll be okay as long as new technology can lead to cost saving for consumers. If I can save money on every day goods, I will then use the money to pay for cleaning services, spa services, maybe I can finally get a dog because I can afford day care and a dog Walker when if I feel like I’m neglecting it because I don’t want it just staying home alone all day. People are always going to just want more. We probably need a cultural change to supporting service sector jobs over buying more junk so we don’t keep making more garbage and don’t put all of our money into automated industries.

I often work with AI, and it is scary how capable it is at taking over most jobs. The greatest issue to overcome for society is that easier to automate jobs are often lower paying jobs where workers aren’t well trained or educated.

Not to mention the companies creating these therapies are back by a lot of venture capital, which is indicative that people who know the market way better than the both of us think it will be fine. Also most genetic therapies aren't even about directly editing peoples genes as it stands.

    I’m a Respiratory Therapist .. Many years ago some people thought nurses were going to take over our jobs .. I don’t think our jobs will be replaced by anything or anyone .. who wants to take this life death responsibility after all ? We are so short now with covid that we can literally work 7 days

    I just started a new job as a chemist at my city’s water treatment facility. While I am doing things like extraction methods that are FAR from being automated, I’m also working with automation on the analytical side of things. It’s really making me take stock in my technical skills and I’ve decided to take up some online coding classes to really up my acumen in computer science.
