> How will his labor reconstiture itself into something new?

That's for the job market to decide. It'll be whatever people still find valuable to do.

> What if the most capable model you need to use to stay competitive costs $10k a month so you're locked out?

What if a capable computer needed to stay competitive costs $10k? Or if all SW jobs turned remote and electricity costs for computers cost $10k? I think the problem with this line of thinking is there was no logical path to this happening that was presented. You're raising a problem of an unrealized conclusion without a solid premise.

So you never considered

1. Some are simply permanently displaced and homeless

2. What the market wants is an arguable set back to overall society?

If all white collar work is obselete and you can't retrain, you're back to working on the fields or being sent to die in wars. If you have a bad leg or arm or eye, you're discarded by society. Is that a future to strive for?
