Robotics, job losses and competing timelines for abundance
In a September 2026 exchange, one commenter puts abundance 30 years away, with economic disruption and job losses along the way. A reply predicts 10–20 years, depending on how quickly robotics scales.
TLDR
Two forecasts frame a September 15, 2026 discussion about abundance. One commenter predicts a 30-year wait, with economic disruption and a period of job loss until enough people adapt to needed new roles. They also expect more people eventually to exercise greater agency, but say that will take learning. A reply offers a shorter timeline of 10–20 years, contingent on how fast robotics can scale.
