I agree this is the biggest issue. Too many folks are passing off the potential behind this stuff...this might replace the person beneath me but... As a one person manufacturing business, I've augmented 5 positions that I otherwise would have needed to hire. The end game of this is 10% of the population will be able to produce the goods for 100% of the population. That's the problem statement.

This is already almost true. Only 8% of the American workforce is in manufacturing and about 29% of China's (and about 1/7th is exports to the US). I'd guess that that somewhere around 12% to 15% are needed to manufacture all goods for an advanced economy. Another 2% or so for agriculture. Not really much more to go.
