I don't remember where I heard this line of reasoning, but it was a Matrix-like point of view: "In the future there will be those who control the machines, and those who are controlled by the machines, and I intend to be in the first group!" I do very much worry about people who are already slipping southwest of the center of your super-high-tech data viz: those in the "3" category. We've often talked about the loss of agency by peoples' value as producers being converted into value as consumers, but the AI-assisted grind that magnifies skills but diminishes impact is a concern.
