> I guess your premise is mass unemployment is not worth worrying about, so okay then

My point wasn't that it's not a big deal. My point there is that if AI ends up taking a large % of white collar work you're going to have a huge portion of the population in the same boat. Maybe an overly optimistic view but that'll end up forcing change through politics

..I also think this is a ridiculously low % chance of happening and it would take something close to AGI to bring about. I don't know how you can use AI regularly and think we're anywhere close to that

Contracting an incurable illness that renders me blind and thus unable to work is just as likely and not something I spend time worrying about

> Marginal changes in productivity can make huge impacts to industries employment rates

Maybe? We also have Jevon's paradox. Software is incredibly expensive to build right now - how many more applications for it can people find if the cost halves?
