So where are the 300,000+ AI computer companies that all these tech workers across the whole sector will so easily just migrate to?

The argument is always "the new scary tool will just come with its own needs that need to be serviced which is where the displaced workers will go."

Yeah... IDK about that. The coal miners were supposed to be retraining to be programmers, we just decapitated that idea, so now what?

I never had much of a great view of the future, but it only seems to be getting worse...

The coal miners will be mining for burgers at McDonald's
