I have often thought about this subject of jobs disappearing through automation, and now even middle-upper class jobs are at risk of disappearing because of blockchain. Who needs accountants, administrative and finance employees, notaries or even CEO's in the age of blockchain and DAO's?

If we give technology enough time, there's not much we can't automate away. The only jobs for humans that I can foresee in the far, distant future would be in the fields of:

• Policy/Decisionmaking/Responsability
• Entertainment (humor, creativity, art, etc.)
• Possibly science in some delegatory way (arguably this falls under decisionmaking)
• Possibly psychology

So basically if you're not interested in politics or invention, the only thing left for humans to create of value to others would be in the field of entertainment because that's where AI would fall short. It's hard to imagine an AI will ever be able to create something truly creative, or understand the deeper facets of being human, required for humor or perhaps drama. It's an attention-based economy where we appear to be headed; the value is in your attention as a consumer.

Maybe in the future, we'll all be bloggers and youtubers. In a way that sounds fun. On the other side, it sounds terrifying: if the only value that we can add is to entertain others, does it mean that we have advanced into a high-tech society of clowns, essentially?
