This is why I was so excited when I first heard about this concept. Projects like Steemit is revolutionizing the concept of labor. Many of the economics theories on labor, capital, and wage cannot apply in the future with mass technological unemployment and the way cryptocurrencies completely changing the way we view and understand the concept of money. Steemit is one of the first of many new platforms of the future where anyone can make a living online just by doing what they would otherwise normally do. We are living in exciting times.
Also, I've recently bought a book called Trekonomics: The Economics of Star Trek. It's pretty interesting.
Microlabor and microjobs are already a thing. AI has to be trained and only humans can train it. So even if all the smart work and hard work is eventually done by AI the AI would still need to know our preferences, our ideals, in the end we will merge with it in my opinion or we'll destroy it. We can't compete with AI and shouldn't even entertain the idea.
