Automatic For The People – Seven predictions for the future of knowledge work

You're spot on, figassis — the idea of "job security" as we've known it is rapidly becoming outdated. Talent isn't going away; rather, it's becoming fluid, accessible, and globally distributed. Your vision of a Slack-meets-Fiverr platform, where everyone collaborates and offers skills on-demand, aligns perfectly with this shift. Political hurdles may indeed slow things down (let's hope they don't), but there's hope. Historically, technology has a way of breaking down barriers faster than they're built. The real challenge — and opportunity — is designing tools and systems that facilitate trust and seamless collaboration in this global freelance ecosystem.
