Isn't this the basic plot of Wall-E?
 
Read it. A little too apocalyptic for me.

I don't share the perspective that low-skill low-pay jobs are better than a UBI, and thus must be protected from automation. I'd much rather people spend their time doing something more fulfilling, and only pick up ****ty jobs for supplemental income. I'm also not overly worried about long term effects of UBI. It is a good idea for today's world. In a 100 years, the world will be very different in fundamental ways that we can't predict. So we'll cross that bridge...

So ya. **** the worker. Give em free money instead!
 
How bout we worry bout world poverty instead of spoilt rich world brats? Hell, I live a cush live style on what you kids consider poverty.

UBI that is like government welfare right? I git plenty government welfare an it has not made me lazy it allows me to work hard at the thinks I like to do an give charity to others. Why do we need to change that? Do like I do an go off the grid work for barter or under the table grow your own food an fish an hunt your dinners. Raise ten chickens for your breakfasts.

Spot on. All the advancements we have made in the last 100 years has not decreased the jobs available, just changed their nature. They will change again as we automate more, and the younger generations are preparing for this in ways my generation and my father's couldn't even really foresee.
 
I think my automation based carrer will last until I retire. I think what i do will be one of the last things to be automated (troubleshooting and repairing automated systems). But i do think self-diagnostics will become common, it just won't fully replace me for a while.
