That was true for horses until the combustion engine came along and it certainly won't be true for humans forever. If we automate all useful work that can be done by someone at 100 IQ or lower than half of the population will be unemployed.

No. I think that means people with low IQs will be able to do high IQ work.

You’re not going to take someone who takes twelve hours to learn how to fold a letter for an envelope and teach them a demanding cognitive job like programming.

I don't see how that's relevant to the point.

Because them stopping to build AI won’t stop AI impacting them. It’s like being afraid of the impact of guns — simply not owning a gun yourself won’t necessarily prevent you from being a victim of gun crime.

We are talking about a gun manufacturer, not an owner.

Doesn’t matter. If a gun manufacturer stops, does that mean others will? All you’re doing is consolidating the market into even fewer players and presumably companies whose policies you disagree more with than the one you owned.
