Isaac Asimov said that in the future one third of the population would be scientists working on new discoveries; one third would be engineers mananging all the technology; and one third would be entertainers.

Well, I think we are on track with the entertainers part, at least.

And then due to a rounding error, there were still some admin bureaucrats around, who took what they didn't understand, through the filter of entertainers, from the scientists and engineers, and said that what the engineers had built meant everybody didn't need to do their non-bullshit [Edit: (and bullshit)] jobs any more.

Oops. Why did I bother writing that. Should have got an "A.I." (LLM) to write it for me. Of course! Silly me.
