    Yes, it’s inevitable. The problem is that between today and the point where every job is replaced by AI and robots (and we’ll work figurative jobs 4 hours a week, and every human will have a comfortable life because everything is produced with zero cost, thus extinguishing capitalism), there’s a transition period (which has already started), where jobs are destroyed faster than alternatives are created, and corporations fight for profits amidst the looming singularity.

    If society and civilization survives the abyss, eventually it’ll reach the other side.
