    And my great great grandpa thought horses would lose all their jobs to cars. And they all did and it was never the same again.

    There’s no quick answers, but intuitively I think we all get that the % of jobs not doable by AI and robotics approaches 0 over time.

          The last job is going to be hairdresser, because billionaires have wives (not to assume all billionaires are men), and those wives will want a human to gossip to.
