Why should we have to choose between low paid, dangerous, uninteresting/soul destroying work or unemployment and poverty?
The question about automation, for me, is one of how we can more sensibly organise the necessary work so that we can each share both the labour and its products?
I dream of a world where I can make machines to save work, and know I'm not putting somebody out of a job they need to feed themselves, but reducing the workload for the whole of society, giving us more free time (or more stuff).
