> Many Luddites were owners of workshops that had closed because factories could sell similar products for less. But when workshop owners set out to find a job at a factory, it was very hard to find one because producing things in factories required fewer workers than producing those same things in a workshop. This left many people unemployed and angry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite It wasn't a smooth transition. What happened to horses after most of their tasks were done better by internal combustion engines? It's weird to imagine a world where humans have so few niches, but I thought we were decades away from passing the Turing test.
