Yes, it is and the article isn't going there enough what options we have as societies. I think this is because the article is still trying to convince you that the white collar job losses are indeed coming rather than taking this as a given.

If we take it as a given but don't consider a Terminator/SkyNet scenario within the next 10 years, then we do have some options:

- Taxing token usage

- Requiring local data centers - Requiring AI oversight

- Nationalizing the AI companies

- We probably need Chinese-style national firewalls to prevent companies moving their AI compute abroad

- Charging companies per displaced worker

- Requiring human worker to token consumption ratios in companies

A lot of these could help soften the blow of the rapid changes so labor markets can adapt.
