A grain of sand from the era, when it falls on an individual, becomes a mountain. "Computer" used to be a job.

My experience of working in the industry is that many of my peers have had great animosity and little sympathy for blue collar workers who lost their livelihood to globalization.

In the English speaking capitalistic countries, it is traditional for a good portion of the working class to take on the outlook of their masters/boss/landlord a time honored tradition.

Yep

And they expect to be the last ones standing. If they lose their jobs to AI they will not understand why no one has any sympathy for them

Remember when the technologists and the media told blue collar workers to "learn to code" [to adapt to the digital economy] and then when layoffs hit media and other white collar jobs those blue collar workers turned the phrase against those people?

I think they will understand, but it will be a new perspective.

Well a large cohort of us are unemployed yet these companies are still making billions in revenue. Management in Silicon Valley tech is ass

The median tech workers in Silicon Valley have given themselves completely to lifestyle creep. If they don't receive RSU refresh in a single year, they won't be able to cover their nut.

This will never work.
