"No humans. Are you starting to see the picture? I know you want to be hired full time by me. And I want to be doing my part. But please understand: I’m running a business. I want to make profits. And these tools are letting me make more profits by employing people only when I need them rather than carrying them on my payroll."
The Systemic Risk (grossly oversimplified):
-------------------------------------------------------
A. -> all businesses in all sectors strive to maximize profits while...
B. -> ...employing less and less people nationwide with shrinking incomes (part-time jobs, smaller paychecks, etc).
A. + B. => Economical collapse in a longer term: you can't have profits (esp. growing profits) out of population being slowly reduced to poverty by increasing pressing trend of partial or full unemployment.
P.S.
No way I buy this article and its arguments from a guy who runs 10-person consulting firm and just writes occasionally. Most consultants (in any disguise) I've met were charlatans - the proverbial borrow-your-watch-to-tell-you-the-time - who were after a fat check for dubious services from a far bigger company with real production, capital, management, and workforce.
Sorry, but Joseph Stiglitz is far more knowledgeable on the matter.
And, by the way, just saying "we use this, we use that" and listing some on-line applications and platforms is not convincing in itself.

Well, this is already delusional.
