I think it's not true that there is no more work to be done. We are just stuck with the idea that jobs come with growth, and that only jobs that yield growth should be paying salaries. I believe if we sat down and talked we could find hundreds of jobs around us, it's just the money that is lacking, if we could access even a little percentage of the huge money spent in wars, entertainment, gambling,... Many cities, forests, beaches need cleaning, people and animals that need care, understaffed hospitals, etc... These jobs just don't pay. I'd be happy to hear your opinions on this.

You've hit the nail on the head. Some jobs come from unnecessary complexity in the system (civil servants, accounting people); some jobs exist because they're too complicated for machines (for now); some are just plainly unneeded (stock brokers, hedge fund managers and the like). As AI and robotics advance, progressively more classes of workers will suddenly find themselves superfluous.

What will they do then? My biggest fear is that most will simply fall into consumerist lullaby mode. I have no doubt big corporations will find a way to make non-labour-bound income work to their advantage.

Rendering healthcare possible for everybody and -thing, up to planet scale, is certainly an enticing aspect of this labour revolution (these activities need humans and human intelligence, which are currently all locked up and undervalued in traditional jobs).

It gives us time to think. For the first time in history, an entire civilization gets the opportunity to work on its intellect. See my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13042772) in this thread.

That all these jobs don't pay just shows how ill-equipped our current system is to handle free-thinking people, and freedom as a concept.

Aside for intellect, I wouldn't mind trading some desk time for time spent in the forest cleaning / doing research or anything useful...

Nice! The Turbolinks 5 presentation was really impressive

I joined as second employee after angel funding (seed stage) and a few months before the first VC funding and got about 0.5% equity. After a series C this went down to less than 0.3%... I didn't know anything about stock options before joining, don't you think I should have negotiated for more? This article says I should have got about 3% when I joined
