The Blue Collar Delusion: Why the machines don’t have to climb up to where we are, because the work will descend to meet them

I’m a mechanic. I want to make the case, at least for my field, that the trades are sitting in a worse position than people realise, and the safety we feel right now will likely get pincered from multiple angles. I have sat on this thought for a long time, assuming someone else would point it out. But I have never seen it personally. And yet, every single day, I see the talks about how blue collar is substantially padded from AI disruption. Blue collar work as it exists right now is genuinely hard for a machine.
