I did a poor job explaining.

See, all the potato-sorting systems and the ones that drive those and so on, those are a hierarchy without end. There'll always be some other efficiency gain. And some other machine. And the whole stack will always need a human to direct and design the hierarchy, design monitoring, remediate failures, and invent new more efficient ways.

AI is not embodied and doesn't have its own drive so it can't subsume human interest and desires - humans will always direct the machines. It will never "be over".

The humans who know this will always always always be at the top, directing the machines & designing the new ones. Yes, some people won't and they will end up in the hierarchy instead of on top. But that doesn't mean it is over. It's just over for them.

You aren't responsible for how others adapt to change. Just.. work out how to not lose. Don't defeat yourself before even trying. I can't tell you how. No one can, it's your journey. But by being here on Hacker News you're already better off than most.
