I think it reduces jobs the same way as having tools like electronic screwdrivers available cheaply reduces jobs.

Instead of everybody having to create their own screwdrivers prior to starting a construction job, they can focus on building whatever they want to build.

I would argue that's a good thing: it increases productivity and decreases duplicated effort.

many people have a statement like this, however most of the jobs would probably not be needed any more because of the new tools and new end to end automated systems. and there are not so many new jobs to be created all the time.

once the productivity is high enough, most of people in the world would probably not able to find a job.

people who control the asset would probably control most things and others can hardly live.

open source is kind of accelerating the process
