This is basically where I stand to source optimism.

I think tough unemployment for white collar jobs is coming. The best automation allegedly exists in whatever that catch all term for corporate processes tech, and there’s that data that tech recognized lung cancer scans better then radiologists. Also, I think the odds of redlining and deep invasions of privacy for insurance rates via always-on apps while your drive or w/e are pretty high in the short term.

But, the full-on oh no dystopia is an ETL/data eng challenge and resulting innovation away. That’s also the area that’s usually a mess with companies aggregating and using the data to do XYZ.

Jaron Lanier/Siren Servers makes an argument that basically that ETL challenge will be what stops a really bad outcome, as the Siren Servers that do the analysis will collapse under the weight of their data.
