Here here. All of this I think is slowly blowing up the Toffler-esque fantasy that many people in the "information worker" class tier had, that the "information age" was unique in creating a set of workers and industries immune to the ugliness and exploitation of industrial capitalism.

For periods of time we've been paid well to do craftsman-like work, without (on the whole) industrial automation and intense labour discipline.

Capitalism finds a way to route around that kind of blockage. And this is what Sundar and Musk and crew are up to now. And why there's such intense investment in "AI."
