My main concern with stuff like this is that our economic and social development is lagging behind technical development. If we had something resembling world-wide socialism, I’d cheer for our robotic replacements all day long.
That’s only true under capitalism where people are forced to work for the sake of working. Under socialism, automation should be celebrated as it frees up people from drudgery.
Automation doesn’t automatically translate to more stable worker conditions under any system, but yes, socialism is better equiped to deal with automation than capitalism. That’s where I would agree.
Not thrilled about this development tbh. It only highlights how replaceable workers are. That’s not a positive story.

Not only is socialism better equipped to deal with automation, but automation is generally seen as the development path towards communism.
