> driving the value of human labour as close to zero as possible

Tech and automation exists to drive the marginal cost of labor toward zero. It's just happening faster now.

Right, it's disrupting you now instead of just dumb people.

This is false. Other forms of tech were not designed to replace humans with some kind of successor species, as they're trying to do here.

Other tech was developed as a productivity boost, and for jobs it may have displaced, it ultimately created more.
