I hope this is irony. If not you could write the same with little changes about the steam engine. It is a technological advance same as every one prior to it. Those that embrace it and use it will come out on top (not without personal risks of having your own skills atrophy). Others will loose. Just like every person doing horse stables work when automobiles became widely used.

Except this isn't the steam engine or the internal combustion engine/the car, it's tech, and it replaces most jobs rather than just a few.

If you take its future promise as true (I do not, but for sake of argument lets pretend it is as powerful as you're saying), then it's impact is on a completely different scale and ability than even industrialisation. Its silly to retreat to "no one shoes horses anymore" platitudes as if this tool isn't widly more capable (again, if we take its future promise as written) and disruptive.

		So we have in the big shifts: Agriculture workers, became industry workers. (Mechanized agriculture). Industry workers, became service and white collar workers. (Automatization). I don't see a sector for white collar workers to shift to now. Even more service workers? There is room in the serf and capitalist classes though. Hopefully we end up in the later rather than former. But there is a need for political reform to open up the later I guess. 3 day work week and so on the lower the lowering pressure on wages. Progressive corp. tax? But I don't see that happening in the US.
