1) Seems to be increasing accepted. However, it looks like we're still on the early side of it, and the transition is going to be difficult. There will likely be a time when there are nowhere near enough jobs to go around, and not enough aid for the unemployed.
2) I wouldn't say this is widely accepted. On any topic about Universal Basic Income, one of the common refrains against it is "the dignity of work", and that labor gives purpose in life. I don't agree with that necessarily, but it seems to be a view held by a sizable segment of the population. You'll also see it come up in situations where welfare is mentioned.
