Work: 70-80 percent of jobs will disappear in the next 20 years. There will be a lot of new jobs, but it is not clear if there will be enough new jobs in such a short time.

If 70-80 percent of jobs disappear, then the number of people who can afford to buy all this stuff -- especially robots -- will be drastically reduced. The AI applications that will replace humans will not be paid, and will not have money to buy stuff.

I'm not sure what happens in that environment, but to my simple human brain, it appears to that the economic disruption would certainly disrupt the timeline suggested in this article.

Oh, come on. The government will just give us money, we won’t have to work.
