This would be good news in less shit economic system where access to food/shelter etc isn't tied to employment.

We need to focus less on protecting jobs, and more on protecting people.

The problem is that any job is going to be targeted for automation in high income countries because the cost of the worker is going to be far higher than the equipment.

The problem is the system that requires people to have jobs just to live.

Yeah, but it is going to be an adjustment for society to decide what to do when a large segment of the population will never be economically or otherwise productive.
