This is an extremely elitist take.
Obviously you're never worried about AI/Computers/Immigrants (underline your "reason" of choice) if you're in the top 1% of your field. It's like people who developed a bunch of their own libraries and then worked as a google Architect for 10 years giving everyone else advice on job hunting.
From a utilitarian point of view, I see his reason for saying it (not a great loss for society if the bottom 50% of some industry falls out), but it's still a very privileged take (some would even say tone-deaf)
