Well gommunism wouldn't work without jobs either so that's fucked too lel

Basically, welfare states everywhere need to be a thing.

People are just going to call you a Luddite for pointing this out but I don't see any way around it. The pool of skilled innovators is a steadily shrinking tech-centered elite. Even the service jobs of today are going to disappear. They are just charity for businesses to keep a human face interacting with customers. But it won't continue to be practical for long. Eventually the system will only require a handful of technicians and quantum super computers to spoonfeed an entire populace.
As fucked up as it is to say, Marx was right in that communism is the inevitable outcome of communism. It's just nothing like what he imagined and a couple hundred years late getting here.
The future I see is one where humanity will split, with one group living traditionally and the other becoming something else entirely. Maybe something great will come from the later but every instinct I have tells me it will be an absolute nightmare. I just hope I can get my shit together and start a traditional family before my bloodline gets sucked into that artless, decadent abyss.

People controlling the capital use tiny bit of it to provide acceptable level of squalor to the masses.
That's why making the masses into retarded brown horde without any societal cohesion or sense of unity is so critical.

Capitalism could survive, and end up being more like a real time strategy game.
What we have to remember is that this isn't going to happen overnight. As AI and robotics advance, and as these machines get cheaper, the general populace may acquire these machines.
Instead of YOU working, your robot(s) will work for you. Either you may install the mods necessary for them to do various jobs and direct them where to work, or they may become smart enough to evaluate this for themselves.
In either event, those who own businesses will still be wealthy compared to the working class population, but the working class population may all become sub-contractors as such.
Basically, instead of being paid for your labor, your rent out your AI robot. Those who are intelligent may use their disposable income to purchase more and more AI robot workers, whom you can receive more rental income from.
Basically everyone is gonna own starcraft SCVs and just click "go mine this" "go build this"
