I don’t understand how this, in the context of people like Eric Schmidt lecturing people about AI, is putting it in stark terms. Starkly is to contrast these millionaire’s/billionaire’s ambitions to put them out of a job, permanently. But as usual the Silicon Valley tech disruption is put in terms of “democratizicing” X (scare quotes or not), just like taxi side hustling has been democraticized I guess.

People aren’t afraid of being out of a job, they say. It’s the usual jealously guarded guild expertise, by people who haven’t even entered any professions yet.
