You know if we really pushed it, we could automate every single job on the planet in the next year.
Lawyers: obsolete Machine learning algorithms going through all the law books on the planet analyzing all case histories, looking for all viable avenues.
Doctors: obsolete Watson supercomputer deployed across the planet.
Scientists: obsolete Automated research centers, slicing dicing staining, robotic probes roaming the planet.
Police: obsolete robots incapable of corruption patrolling the streets, running on machine algorithms to predict crime before it happens.
Teachers:obsolete Online pre programmed courses teaching people whatever they wish to learn.
Military:obsolete Robots control the battlefield stronger faster smarter, incapable of PTSD, emotionless cold machines assessing and dolling out the appropriate response to a threat.
Cooks:obsolete Automated machinery designed to cook any meal you like is already available.
Government:obsolete The internet can already bring about world wide direct democracy.
Programmers:obsolete Machine learning algorithms and A.I. systems with neural chips on neural networks constructing any program required.
All we would have to do is learn everything these professions do and just script it into a program with machine learning algorithms to methodically improve their preformance.
If we can do it, I think we should. Go immediately straight into a Autonomous Corporation controlled model or a resource based economy.
after all it is only a matter of time, we can do this now... It will only take one person scripting their entire profession into a database with machine learning to automate them.
Edit: here are a couple examples I've seen over the years.
A.I. Law

Programmers: Sorry man, they got an app for that too. I have no doubt... that those A.I. that are capable of programming are already out there, they're just classified.
