If machine's make everything how can we have work for everyone? Even for 3days a year

I think the point is to look past the idea of having to work just for the sake of an income.

I believe the saying is that machines makes most of the manufacturing, simple and mundane services. Humans could then focus on research and development (improving machines), improving our living standard, medicine psychology and so on. And have time to do what you like.

If you listen to sam altman the agi, amachine that improves itself and can do research is 5yr away. Probs marketing talk.
