That's a great comment! I am in awe of the cynicism and misanthropy it contains. Machiavelli himself would go "Dang, that's dark dude".

- Man, Uber just perfected self driving cars and closed my account with them, what am I gonna do now? - I hear prostition is still around.

- Shit, some kid in Senegal just released a database server that can create a sensible schema from an excel sheet, even creating translation layers between the insanity the end user put in and the sensible internal representation! There are no DBA jobs left in the world, what am I gonna do? - I heard those rich actors in Hollywood have acquired a taste for their own "best boys" with strong "grip"...

I was using a slightly more encompassing definition of prostitution, though. Basically people whose primary job is to kiss ass for money, whether metaphorically, literally or both.

Greeters, for example, can't be replaced by machines. The economy has been shifting in this direction for decades.
