> I'd argue that a lot of knowledge workers in general are about to experience a similar rude awakening.

Hard Agree. That’s why I picked up a trade after 15 years of solid knowledge work, mostly in dev roles.

> To the clear benefit of society as a whole

Hard disagree.

The problem is that a disproportionate part of the benefits will simply get transferred to the people who are already rich. I’d be gobsmacked to see anything beyond moderate benefits for everybody else, while moving the middle class demarcation farther up than it’s already risen. Our society seems to be set up to transfer wealth to the rich almost as ruthlessly as imperialism.
