Do you really think given the current available tech and research in computer architecture, AI, robotics, wireless networks, ... that most jobs will be irrelevant in thing incoming 3 decades?
Don't forget that apps already eliminated millions of small businesses but benefited also millions of web hipsters and pajeets throughout the past decade, are we on the path of having mass unemployment and its economic and psychological consequences?

I wouldn't say most jobs, but I would say a lot of jobs. There's over three million truck drivers in the US, they're getting laid off post haste. And that means that all the podunk towns on the side of a lonely interstate that exist to serve passing truckers are all gonna die, too.
It ain't gonna be anywhere close to "90%+ humans are surplus to requirements" or anything. Just a spike in unemployment and benefit/pension programs becoming even more unsustainable than they already are.

Wouldn't shock me if some more progressive countries banned that sort of ai, similar to how in Dune supercomputers are banned because of the implications of hyper advanced ai making people useless (and story reasons, but whatever)

Won't happen. Not only because it'll be hugely profitable for trucking companies, and will cut costs dramatically for consumers and pretty much every other business. But also because there's gonna be a big safety argument to be made. A self-driving truck never gets sleepy, distracted, or drunk. It never falsifies its logbooks. It never speeds. It never picks up hookers at the truck stop. It is perfectly alert at all times. Also trucks spend most of their time on the open highway, which is the easiest environment for AI to handle, and self-driving vehicles already have a vastly lower accident rate per mile driven than humans. And all this is before you add things like the ability to coordinate with other self-driving vehicles in a platoon, which can cut emissions and eventually mitigate traffic jams.
The luddites also harmed their case by crying wolf one too many times. Each wave of automation they said would leave them permanently out of work. Now that the automation that might actually put them out of work once and for all is upon us, society and policymakers have heard their argument a dozen times before, never having come to pass.
>muh job
Yeah NEETs don't gave this problem
There is a lot of talk about it lately but it's mostly based on AI meme science bullshit which journalists and other assholes love to write about.
This has been going on for over 100 years and people across the entire spectrum have been replaced, from mathematics down to the guys who used to pump gas everywhere.

A job isn't an end in itself, the pursuit of innovation mustn't be limited by artificial constraints and obscurantism. Rome wasn't built in a day, I'm fairly confident that the impact on the labor market can be cushioned through skill reallocation and reinvention of our role as humans capable and producing an activity which is authentic and not simply defined as our role in society. When you take the larger scale of a comprehensive structure, prior to any imbued perceived autonomy, supervision is required with regard to the monitoring of elements within society because a job on its own is in ways, a cog in a machine capped by responsibility and supervision which isn't always automated or correlated to output. Efficiency at any cost and as a whole to humanity is the main driver of evolution and times call when the need to transcend our human nature from a tool to employing tools to perfect higher realms for the sake of living instead of working to live and surviving. While inequality is omnipresent, the solution to creating a fairer and just world is found not only on the bottom of a balance sheet but in the contribution to the function of understanding and constant modeling of a better world. Monitoring allows congruence to palliate cost which is too often human. Working jobs that can be automated is masochistic and a disservice to communities with the reasoning of a hatchet chopping means for living, change should be the main driver of progress.

Yes and that merges with the eugenics plans like agenda 21 and NGOs like Bill and Melinda Gates.
So there's a big culling on the horizon.

But went down very fast.
