Work does not guarantee the right to a good life. Rather, it is political power. Nobody is saying 'AI will automate landlords out of a job', because everybody knows that's nonsensical. Being a landlord is primarily a right to extract value guaranteed by political power. It is not primarily a job. If you have no political power, it doesn't matter how fundamental to the economy you are, you can expect to have no rights whatsoever. Slaves were the entire economy of the US South, for example. If you have political power, you can be as useless as most landlords are, and you can still expect to live well. Trying to game the system by being useful to wherever you guess industry is going to be in ten years is stupid. Just do what you can, and devote your energies to organizing.
