Sure, AI may break the American economic system – which would be negative both for me, you, and the entire world. I would not relish that and I think we should ask our brightest young thinkers to imagine a world in which the productivity gains from AI don't simply accrue to capital holders. Getting back to Cal's point, I think there's a lot of legitimate questions and uncertainties about what knowledge work will look like over the next decade. You say that technology will remove jobs...and I think you're right directionally, but I can't tell you the timeline for that, nor it's effects. While I love being a software engineer, what that actually looks like on a daily basis has materially changed _a lot_ every few years. Sitting for a day debugging why my SCSS won't render is not the core value I bring to this world as a human.
