    It’s funny that I never considered it, but why would they replace the low wage workers? Capitalism would care most about replacing the high wage workers (except for the CEO and other board members. They obviously are worth every penny and are irreplaceable with ai. ~signed CEO)

      because robots are still 10x cheaper than the low wage workers (in developed countries at least), and low wage worker jobs are usually easier to automate.

      The high earners’ jobs are already mostly replaced by technology, but companies keep employing them and paying them anyway. They mostly schedule meetings.

        the issue if you don’t employ the smart people, someone else will… and you don’t want that typa competition, it is cheaper to just pay them.
