    Top 1% is roughly half a mil annually from what I’ve heard, so perhaps mostly not. According to o-net, most MDs make less than half that.

    My shitty point stands though, I think - if we start stealing rich people’s jobs, there will be a lot more talk of fairness in automation.

      Yeah fair enough. My point was also that not even doctors are 1%ers.

      Inequality is so bad already, and as usual the benefits go to those who own the means of production, but AI is so capital intensive very few will get a seat at that table. And unlike previous automation revolutions, AI is on track to progress VERY quickly and VERY widely

      AI may never replace X profession, but with AI 1 professional can be as productive as 3 professionals. What will the other 2 do?
