People expect "coming for our jobs" to look like our work being automated directly.

It doesn't.

It looks like the very kind of job no longer paying the bills because it's been devalued, sidelined, or the economics of something nearby changed a ton.

To automate something you _change the world to make it automatable_.

@aredridel reminiscent of (the much more positive, in another context) “make the change easy (this may be hard); then make the easy change.” Automation as refactoring problem.
