RE: Steemit - Place for work after basic income becomes reality & What differs us from the machine
Automation is really just an increase in efficiency, there will be growing pains, but long-term standard of living increases. Blockchain technology will unlock a lot of economic potential, just as the Internet has and continues to do. Becoming future-proof requires investing in higher level skills, things that are difficult to automate. That and investing your acquired capital smartly. If Steemit wants adoption by the masses, it needs to invest in its user-friendliness. Or face stronger competition...
I can agree on all points you have made. I'm also interested to hear on what improvements on user-friendliness do you have in mind? There might be devs lurking
As you mentioned people need to start investing in higher level skills, but is everyone able to do that? We are not all the same and this is what worries me. Ceiling keeps climbing and as more jobs get automated, the competition for remaining ones keep rising. In the end there will be AI's everywhere with robot bodies that have access to all of the data in internet and that can draw their own conclusions and improve on their own at the task they were set to work at 24/7. Stronger competition will be everywhere
