Manual labor has been my general thought but the progress Tesla is making on their robots makes me question that assumption. I imagine in the next decade, we're going to see large swaths of the population unable to do meaningful work that isn't already done by machines.

We're looking down the pipe at a truly dystopian future.

I'm very worried constantly. This is the story of the bear, where you just have to be faster than the other guy. For now. The bear is getting faster and faster and it won't be long before it eats all of us.

I am also terrified of my job prospects in the near future.
