>stop doing our useless jobs and go back to the real world

LOL ... that's almost an exact quote of words once spoken by an exasperated, major university philosophy professor at a departmental meeting

Like being a medieval monastery copyist, it beats ditch-digging.

Anyway ... thank whatever gods may be for universal basic income!

I guess I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t consider these useless, but also think that very few of the HN clientele holds any of these jobs.

Whatever real-world jobs they expect knowledge workers to take on after we are all replaced by AI... we at least know they will pay less than our current "useless jobs".

Really optimistic to assume such jobs will exist in the volumes needed to absorb all of the knowledge workers

...and they will also likely pay less than they do now because there will be more labor supply, which the people currently doing those jobs won't be happy about.

Well, we need all those things. And AI can't do them.
