While it is true historically that we have adapted to technology advances with steady growth and opportunity over time, this new entrant barges into the widening divide between the haves and have nots with the few positioned to benefit against a mass of those displaced potentially faster than our economy can absorb them meaningfully. This disruption may not be as smooth as in the past with AI and automation quickly disenfranchising an entire population and spawning an unsustainably growing underclass. This is a scenario our military is watching and studying carefully as we know what happens when people who are left out have nothing to lose.
