?

> Top 10% includes everyone pretty much in HN.

I would suggest you take more caution with statements like that. There are people who read this page and don't have much luck in life. And foremost, what does HN mean in the scale of society? Should HN commenters high five and carry one because the are not the bottom part of the society?

> AI investment for job displacement is necessary for overall prosperity and efficiency.

AI will boost efficiency at expanse of society. I will give you some random examples to ponder about, maybe it will touch some people hearts:

1) What will happen to hundreds of thousands of managers and office workers in the US and EU who built mortgages and families when economy recovered after COVID if AI wipes out their jobs?

2) What will happen to hundreds of thousands of people in English-speaking counties in Africa who earned they daily bread by providing remote help desk services when AI takes heir jobs?

3) What will happen to hundreds of thousand of CS grads in India whose family spent life savings to give them "good" education in Bangalore when AI takes their jobs?

These and many more changes happening rapidly all at once?
