People whose jobs can be taken by AI means every human. ALL OF US. It's just a question of how soon. Some jobs will still need humans for several decades, others will not.

What we all collectively need to do is acknowledge that we are winning. This is the endgame of civilization, and our victory condition is 100% unemployment, because no one should be required to work.

But we need to acknowledge that tying a person's means of living to a 'productive job' is no longer viable, and people need to live even without doing something 'productive'.
