Interesting read still for a non gamer such as myself...still waiting for plug 'n play to come along.
As to the universal income you speak of. That just might be the solution and there are places in the world that are trying this although it's a heavy burden on the tax payers to fully implement such.
There's talk of taxing big companies for bot labour as they lay let go of human resources so perhaps this may be a way to take the sting out of less employment.
If this doesn't happen I expect many millions of more bots will be needed for riot control. Things need to reach some form of equilibrium...and soon imo.
