I know what you mean. This seems like an argument for universal basic income.

People clearly need money. But I don’t like the idea of people forced to stand around doing the same little thing over and over all day. It’s just a recipe for RSI, and as many of us here on HN know that’s not fun.

Seems like those people could be put to work doing something better if a robot can do that job. Creative things, human things, whatever.

I like the idea of automating more things. But I agree we need a solution for the people who are displaced. To make their lives better. Just dumping them in the corner without money certainly isn’t an improvement.
