> they will probably employ top 1% of the people in the intelligence spectrum

Nothing says that the top 1% of the most intelligent people (whatever that means) will want to work in that area.

Because: they may not want to (one could even wonder if they do today), they may not be incentivised to, they may find an even more powerful pursuit elsewhere.

Then, a lot of the skillset is transferable to other professions. The thing is that those professions too may be under pressure of some reorganisation.

Recruiters and hiring companies will also have to adjust how they read the market: multidisciplinary candidates, fragmented career paths are becoming more and more common, and it's generally a sign of adaptive people.
