"then it's just going to build the robots that replace agriculture jobs too, so nothing's really safe."
Ironically, there has always been more robots doing agriculture jobs than software jobs. But people do agriculture to escape the bots.
Software bots have often just created more software jobs. Agriculture robots have often just taken more farmhand jobs. Agriculture today is far, far more profitable than it used to be because of the bots. But people don't think the software bots are going to make software jobs profitable, even though all the automation thus far have pushed engineering salaries and demand up.

There are no robots in agriculture, there are machines. Sorry for being pedantic.
