This is the first automation that targets directly knowledge workers, and hit almost all of them but those in profession where error can cause people deaths.

Traditionally knowledge workers were the bulk of the middle class, because well it takes 30 years to produce one and not all make the cut, so they are paid market prices instead of minimum wages.

And by that nature, knowledge workers cannot reinvent themselves overnight, there will nowhere left to go for them.

Maybe lawyers and medics and a few other can entrenche themselves with legislation, but if you are a knowledge worker in a non union field things look scary.
