And then when AI researchers come along to make it so we don't have to be logic gates in that computer, we complain about "losing our jobs."

Well yeah because this is capitalism, and those lost jobs will be lost forever, and everyone who was working them will suddenly have no source of income with nothing to replace it. Instead of taking care of those people, they’ll just be collateral damage.

Sounds like the problem is with our economic system. There are ways to fix that. Even ways to fix "capitalism" so that it isn't necessary, without changing the fundamental concepts of freedom and personal property that people are so worried about.
