Ultimately this needs to be solved politically
Making our work more efficient, or humans redundant should be really exciting. It's not set in stone that we need to leave people middle aged with families and now completely unable to earn enough to provide a good life
Hopefully if it happens, it happens to such a huge amount of people that it forces a change
But that already happened to lots of industries and lots of people, we never cared before about them, now it's us so we care, but nothing is different about us. Just learn to code!

We did. Why do you think labor laws, unions, etc. exist? Why do you think communism was appealing as an idea in the beginning to many? Whether the effects were good or bad or enough or not, that’s a different question. But these changes have demonstrably, grave consequences.
The difference is in how many industries AI is threatening. It's not just coding on the chopping block
