What happens when AI, robotics, and automation make it possible for humans to work less—or potentially not work at all?

In this episode of Anyway, I'm Daniel, I talk about where we are as a society, how we've reacted to technology in the past, and where I think automation could potentially take us.

We were scared of computers. We were skeptical of the internet. We thought cell phones were going too far.

Now most of us can't imagine life without them.

So what happens when the next wave of technology—robotics, automation, and AI agents—starts doing more and more of the work we've always done?

Are we going to fight it?

Or are we going to learn how to move with it?

And there's a bigger question underneath all of it: If you didn't have to work a job just to pay your bills, what would you actually do with your life?

Maybe you love painting.

Maybe you'd build things.

Maybe you'd travel.

Maybe you'd spend more time with your family.

Hell... maybe you genuinely enjoy mopping floors.

But if mopping floors doesn't pay enough to support you, you can't exactly pursue it as a passion today.

What if a future of automation and abundance changed that?

What if technology didn't just take work away—but gave us the freedom to decide what we actually want to spend our limited time doing?

I don't have the answers.

I'm just curious about where all of this is going—and whether humanity is going to embrace the future, fight it, or somehow do both at the same time.

What do you think?

Would you still work if you didn't have to?

What would you spend your time doing?

And do you think AI and automation are going to make our lives better... or make things worse?

I'd genuinely like to hear your take.

Anyway, I'm Daniel.
