Tens of billions of dollars invested in the transition, which could be used for other interventions. The broad economy is different from pure-software companies. Software can eventually only manage information - but many businesses eventually operate on physical things, where people matter much more than software. 0. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33441368/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33441368/
