Jobs being replaced by machines

Name: Anonymous 2019-06-30 4:04

What I don't understand is why people are never talking about the millions of pencil pushers (doctors, accountants, litigators, secretaries, journalists, programmers, pretty much every office worker, etc) that could be replaced by algorithmic software today but aren't for some reason. Why is it always talking about burger flippers and truck drivers even though they would require developing complex hardware with human-level dexterity at a lower cost than current hourly rates?

Are we witnessing a conspiracy here? Have the pencil pushers taken over society and are now actively suppressing software solutions that would replace them? Are they, too, desperately trying to develop robots to replace other workers so that it becomes a society-wide issue rather than just worthless pencil pushing fags being impacted?

legit I'm curious about this too

every lawyer and nonsurgeon doctor and accountant and javascript programmer can be replaced by straightforward code (rules-based expert systems, no neural network black boxes) written with stuff we have had for the past couple decades
