Not to mention this should reduce fatalities at Suncor.
The path forward needs to be UBIs slowly increased and taxation of the profits of automation rather than just giving it to the producer and consumer.

Suspect a lot of this job loss stuff is wildly overhyped. In our lifetimes - the internet went from basically non-existent to impacting essentially every part of our lives and jobs. Whatever jobs were lost due to the internet were replaced with new jobs created by the internet.
Its possible these AIs will be able to replace jobs, but still a long way away because so much of work is inter dependent on other systems.
