Call me naive, but somehow I don't think we'll ever run out of work .. but that's another topic.
Maybe a bit like Jevon's paradox but for work instead of energy .. we'll use what we have, even when we discover powerful new tools that'd allow us to let capacity sit idle with same output.

I know of so many corporations ready to fire everyone and replace them with robots. No joke. And that, in a country with the highest electricity prices in the world. Human workers are an annoying cost center they are eager to reduce.
People in Germany think that everyone is getting laid off because of the economy or war, or whatnot, but they aren't. They're being replaced with automation, is all.
It's so over. ๐
If people get fired, they'll look for a new job .. don't you think that most will find one eventually?
I'm pretty sure there will always be different types of jobs that cannot really be done by robots .. people may just have to move to these .. adapting over a timescale of years is doable.
And if people find new jobs, then they can continue to stack.
