    In many discussions I’ve seen, small or independent creators are one of the focuses of loss and protection.

    Also there’s the acknowledgement that existing jobs will be reduced, eliminated, or transformed.

    How much different is this from the mass elimination of the 50s stereotype secretaries? We used to have rooms full of workers typing memos, then we got computers, copiers, etc.

    I know there’s a difference between a creator’s work vs a job/task. I’m more curious if these same conversations came up when the office technological advances put those people out? You could find a ton more examples where advancement or efficiency gains reduced employment.

    Should technology advancement be tied to not eliminating jobs or taking away from people’s claim to work?

    I know there’s more complexity like greed and profits here.
