What do you mean, “don’t need to work anymore”? It’s not as if we’re moving towards some Utopian collaboration where humans pursue their deeper, artistic natures while machines do the work. Humans are simply being forced further and further down into the dirt.

There will never be a time for the vast majority of us when we do not need to work. The form that work takes may differ; for example, I may need to forage and hunt for food because human jobs are so scarce that most of us can no longer use them as our form of resource allocation.
