Making our work more efficient, or humans redundant should be really exciting. It's not set in stone that we need to leave people middle aged with families and now completely unable to earn enough to provide a good life

But that already happened to lots of industries and lots of people, we never cared before about them, now it's us so we care, but nothing is different about us. Just learn to code!

Whether the effects were good or bad or enough or not, that’s a different question. But these changes have demonstrably, grave consequences.
