People simultaneously seem scared of AI automating jobs, and of there being too many old people for young people to look after as they'd be too busy with jobs. Wouldn't those cancel each other out?

They don’t cancel out because any gains are eaten by the top 0.1%.

Losses are social; gains are private. It’s all about reverting labor practices towards 1890 until we get labor riots again. This time maybe they can murder union people and laborers with tech and robots, and don’t need to be as scared of the masses as they used to be.
