Yeah that makes sense and that’s what helped me understand, we’d have clear goals in mind, ie we need x amount of hospitals.

On the software side of things, specially the algorithms, I dare say we are already making great strides into this system anyway.

Even if socialism doesn’t need it per se, looks like it’s coming and will make our job much easier and economy much more effective.

It really feels like in the near future society will either evolve to socialism or descend into a feudal like society where machines produce the large sum of products while most people get by on some sort of UBI plan or become mere entertainment for the lords.
I don’t forsee capitalism surviving automation.

Worse yet because of climate change and the coming refugee crisis we could see a fascist rise which starts a nuclear war, but this seems least plausible to me.
