Post scarcity

Post scarcity and the rise of human-automattronic jobs.

I take little pleasure in speaking about the “future of work.” However, because of the kind of research I do, I have to. Abundance doesn’t kill jobs; it births something wilder, something that puts human agency back in play.

Work is over and jobs are starting over

First, I agree with you. We should stop talking about “work” in a future AI context and instead talk a lot more about Jobs and their future in relation to artificial intelligence (AI). Besides, jobs have a nice ring to them and are a lot more elastic than work. The future of work sounds like work—stiff, dreary. When I think of the future of jobs, I think about humans—flexible, alive, kicking. Given this reality, the new research category that “Jobs” unlocks for me is what I refer to as Human-Automattronic Jobs (file under code name: “Leveler”). AKA, Leveler AI. Call it HAJs if you want shorthand. It’s not sci-fi—it’s happening. Look at farmers today: they’re not just plowing fields; they’re piloting drones, tweaking algorithms to outsmart drought. When primed and paired with AI computing, Automattronic Jobs simply work better; function and optimize better to artificial intelligence-based systems as compared to analog skills-based, future of work paradigms. Truth is, HAJs aren’t theory—they’re proving it now. In warehouses, humans aren’t sacked; they’re teamed with bots, troubleshooting on the fly while AI maps the floor. Efficiency spikes, but the human’s still the linchpin. That’s optimization with soul. Everyone sees this shift—AI humming alongside us—but few are rethinking it. To call each thing by its right name, that’s my gig: I’m not inventing Automattronic Jobs (they’ll happen with or without me); I’m stewarding their rise by digging into what’s overlooked, pushing the edges of what they can mean. One of the primary goals based on my research is the wide-scale creation of Automattronic Jobs, along with their scaling automated development for people to (eventually) do. Post-scarcity means we’re not fighting over crumbs—we’re building tables. I see Automattronic Jobs everywhere: teachers curating AI lesson plans tailored to each kid (I’ve lived that as a homeschool parent), or mechanics fine-tuning self-repairing cars. It’s mass-scale, human-led, AI-boosted work. Since one of my few and rare talents is being an exceptional and compelling communicator, I decided to leverage this skill to develop a master protocol for communicating Automattronic Jobs accordingly in a post-scarce, abundant world. I’m no PhD, but I can talk your ear off with purpose—and I’m pouring that into Automattronic Jobs.

As an advanced techno-capital culture, we’ll face advanced techno-capital problems—like AI’s communication problem. It has a major PR crisis: people see it as a job thief. I’m one of them, spooked by what’s coming.

But my change protocol (Açaí) flips that—it’s a digital transformation interface, unlocking a new communications framework to tackle the fear and the millions potentially displaced. I’m optimistic that we can solve job loss, unemployment, and displacement with Human-Automattronic standards in one fell swoop. Skeptics say AI eats jobs. I say bunk— Automattronic Jobs flip that script. One of the most important things set to happen—perhaps it’s already here—is that millions will lose their jobs because of AI.

I’m deeply empathic and concerned about this, but Automattronic Jobs are my counterpunch.

Simply put, I believe in a future of human capital abundance, megalithic fortifications of Chromatic talent AGI, Jobs Futurism Direct, and the imminence of synthetically ubiquitous Automattronic Jobs—the future of work is over and the skills revolution is dead. For my kids, staring down a world of flux, Automattronic Jobs are my lifeline pitch—a future where they don’t just clock in, they create. Post-scarcity unlocks that, and I’m damn well devoted to mapping it.

The Launchpad for Human Agency

Here’s the kicker: Human-Automattronic Jobs aren’t just jobs—they’re a formidable start to unlocking human agency. In a post-scarcity world, they’re the opening riff, blending human spark with AI’s power to push us further. It’s not about clinging to the old—it’s about steering the new, amplifying what we can do. This is just the beginning, and I’m all in—researching, preaching, building it step by step. Accelerate.
