Let’s Hope Machines Take Our Jobs: We Want Wealth, Not Jobs

I found the article to be a bit hand wavy. Specifically the bit about one hour of work being worth $.01 but $.01 being worth $15,000 in todays dollars. These numbers were just plucked out of thin air for rhetoric.

However, the article's essential argument that efficiency will improve quality of life makes sense. As we automate difficult tasks, the products created by these tasks should have a reduced cost.
