This is going to be such a crazy decade man. The 2010’s were easily the calm before the storm

Really hard question. Percentage of today's jobs that will be irrelevant or non-existent in 2030? Probably many drivers, but not all. Probably a lot of today's manufacturing jobs, but then these same workers will just do different jobs at the same factory. Number could be anything and could be really hard to measure. For example say we made Python programming obsolete by making a better way to program. And there won't be as many python jobs in 2030. Does it mean it's been automated? Or say we made cheap exoskeletons for movers and warehouse workers. So job that previously needed 4 people now needs just 2. But number of jobs went up! Does that mean it's automated? I don't know how to answer that question

Depends on the economics over the next decade. Specifically, how much innovation is held back by state directives. If restrictions are loosened, and capital is allowed to flow, it will naturally find its way to the most efficient and innovative purposes. If it’s restricted and directed to “public funds,” then the capital will be “dead capital.”

Picking the lowest-hanging fruit first, many banking-related works gonna be automated away as the machine calculate the accounting process. Next, manufacturing line workers could be hard hit. Minecraft is known for lots of automation, and even more so with mods. In reality, people designing the system probably will have much better technology than minecraft players. Cutting-edge AI technology provides cheap vision if needed. Drones and programmable multi-directional conveyor belts provide flexibility.

Percent of current jobs or percent of future jobs? For current jobs about 50% for future less than 10%

Looks like I guesstimated with the majority...

Think about how many low wage jobs exists And about a solution to make them automatic, you are basically paying less for humans than machines would cost

Hopefully by 2030 there will no longer be any jobs to automate, because capitalism has collapsed and was replaced by a system that takes care of everyone regardless of their ability or will to work.
