> that means that eventually a majority of professions and knowledge work is solved. This is hugely problematic because of the way our society currently functions. Our society has functioned very differently in the past, precisely because the technology level made some things viable (or profitable) that aren't so anymore. One would hope that, rather than abandoning technological progress, we'll rather adjust our society to it. I mean, seriously, read what you just wrote. You're literally saying that solving scarcity is a problem because of the way our society currently functions - because people "need jobs to eat, pay for housing, etc". And you're correct! But what does it tell you about our society that robots capable of producing everything that humans might need is a problem for it?
