The article was a bit far fetched, but even accepting it on its face there are significant issues that aren't explored. Deciding what everyone 'gets' to share as part of a no-work system is a huge unresolved issue. Most would argue that you shouldn't be able to have cigarettes. But they would not argue against wine and beer. There's no difference eventually. Lands that could be used to grow crops to feed the hungry could be used to grow grapes and hops and tobacco. Choose one and lose the other. Even if a machine is doing all the work and we're just left to consume the approved list of shared goods, who decides what is on that list has all the power in the system.
