It's the opposite. The reading from the consensus experts is that the labor effects of automation aren't unemployability, it's worsening job prospects and increasing inequality.

Those are different things which require different solutions.

I'm the author. I linked to 30 or so sources in the article, most of them academic publications from the most respected researchers in the field (David Autor, Daron Acemoglu, etc.)

The article is basically a literature review and vulgarisation for laypeople audiences. It's not some theory I just came up with.

> It’s a problem that can only be understood through first principles reasoning.

3 papers by Daron Acemoglu linked to in the article do that and test their theory against recent trends to see if it holds.

Wow, hello. I’m about to clock In the for the day so I’m afraid I can’t address your sources until later tonight. But in the meantime, saying that other people think this is true doesn’t advance your argument in my mind. I don’t care what “experts” say, although I have no problem picking it apart, because there are no experts in AI that doesn’t exist yet. Nobody has first hand experience studying a real world example of what we are talking about. High level signal processing is the only thing that humans monopolize. The more of that that gets automated, culminating with AGI, the closer we are to the obsolescence of humans. It’s just blindingly simple. And please don’t call me an alarmist. I’m genuinely concerned here. I don’t ruminate in this because it’s fun.
