I mean, the problem isn’t the existence/obviation of jobs, but what we do next when it happens. If the people whose jobs are automated away are left out with no money or employment, that’s a serious problem.

And not just software vendors, but chip and board manufacturers with at least security fixes for at least the same length of time, but maybe like X+2 years to account for devices being released after the initial components
