It's the start of a post scarcity society. I'll take the not having to work and having a cure for every disease route of history, even if it's bumpy.

There are real threats to the transition though. My honest fear is that the people who discover it make themselves immortal gods and subjugate or kill everyone else.

IHMO post-scarcity could have started long ago. The problem will be that the people out of a jobs can't think of something new to do, at least not as fast as the machines (or the people with the machines).

Subjugation already happens. When it's easier to keep the population poor and just raid the natural ressources of a country, that's the way it often goes.
