Karl Marx went deep into this argument. He believed that technology would free laborers from the constraints of capital by enabling them greater productivity and consumption with less work. That didn’t turn out to be the case. Capitalists controlled the technology, so they pocketed the value difference created by it, and just had laborers working for less money.

The people will only gain from the growth in productivity if those gains are not co-opted by our masters. The masters’ plan is to use the technology and make the workers obsolete and destitute. The jobless and poor are the easiest to control.
