Ask the rich, what do you want for Christmas? They'll answer no labor or minimum wage labor.

The best thing for the wealth extraction class is machines that work 24x7. The second best thing is nearly complete automation with minimum wage workers like at McDs. This is going to far worse for tech, because prompting llms can be done by any minimum wage worker anywere in the world.

It's almost like the only hope that the rich don't receive the Christmas gift is that AGI never arrives. AGI is literally that machine which will outperform even the best of engineers who then won't be needed at all.

If it ever does that, it will outperform even the best managers, economists and politicians. Yay for AGI, it can't come soon enough, people will be amazed by what they've been missing.
