But how this transition will even happen?

Soon we will have some machines that can replace 50% of jobs, and this will happen basically overnight...

The steam engine replaced a lot of jobs. Tractors replaced a lot of jobs. Calculators replaced a lot of jobs. Computer used to be a job description before it was a personal device. There will be new jobs.

    If we truly would get robots with AGI doing anything a human can do but cheaper|better|reliable, it's not comparable at all to history IMO.

    It's not "a lot of jobs", it's "all jobs".

    Entire towns got decimated when their jobs went away, such people fill their lives in drugs and vote for politicians who promise to bring back jobs.
