   I don’t particularly like the horse to engine angle because it doesn’t capture the issue well.

   When we automated physical activity people that were crowded out moved into knowledge work. Now we’re automating knowledge work so people move into ???

   Leisure? Become a useless class? UBI? Something else entirely?

         You mean my meat proxy skills while wearing a Ratatouille machine-vision head camera that tells me what wrench to pick up and how to crimp the Pex rings?

            You're telling me Google Gemini robot 2 tying a trash bag isn't also gonna be able to crimp PEX rings?

               It will. But having watched the video, I can tie one faster and cheaper. This week. Next week, who knows?
