It seems we are running out of ways to reinvent ourselves as machines and automation replace us. At some point, perhaps approaching, the stated goal of improving quality of life and reduce human suffering ring false. What is human being if we have nothing to do? Where are the vast majority of people supposed to find meaning?

I don't see why machines automatically producing art takes away the meaning of making art. There's already a million people much better at art than you or I will ever be producing it for free online. Now computers can do it too. Is that supposed to take away my desire to make art?

Where do you find meaning in life today? What do you do on weekends and vacations?

Another place to look is the financially independent. What are they doing with their time?

I've been lucky enough to build and make things and work in jobs where I can see the product of my work - real, tangible, creative, and extremely satisfying. I can only do this work as long people want and need the work to be done.
