Why not simply hire them to do something that isn't pointless - like dig ditches or clean garbage
You could say the same to tech workers after AI.
And you'd be right. Forbidding efficiency improvements in order to preserve jobs is the correct solution approximately never.

Are you arguing that since we think we're all special that we should be accepting that other people think they're special?
Meanwhile, people getting laid off (just so the jobs could be exported to countries with more poverty and lower pollution, worker's rights, and standards for working conditions) were getting berated that they should "learn to code" for decades, while we laughed and discussed our stock options.
