Nah, my wife is from an old coal mining family; her and her family are VASTLY better off than their immediate ancestors. I’d also suspect if said ancestors were alive now, they’d be happy to know that their descendants live in vastly better and safer world
IMO none of this is at odds with what I said. The test would be the ability to interview the ancestors in the past, near the end of their life, after they had lost their jobs. How happy were they then?
And in any case, should we move into a world with real ASI the outcome is going to be very different than the displacement of a single industry.
If an ASI replaces you at one cognitive job, it replaces you at all of them certainly faster than you can reasonably retrain.
