Fully agree! I should say I’m writing a series of posts on the AGI economy and one of the next ones is exactly that there are some “singularity-proof jobs” like the ones you describe. I don’t think we can all move into them so I would still except a shifting labor to capital ratio—but it’s definitely not zero.
