Interesting and probably true

There are geographical differences, but in most places their upkeep is expensive and they are mostly used for racing or as beasts of burden. They don't need much health problems to loose their worth and go to the butchers real easy.

It's a bad metaphor. Tractors are actually useful, AI is garbage.
Just because you might not understand it or see any viable use-case doesn't make it garbage.
Maybe to you. I like LLMs and use different ones for different needs, knowing their limitation. -
Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs?
No judgment towards "unskilled" but some jobs just die out and create new jobs.
The horse's carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork.
I prefer a car over a horse-ride.
And a house over a hut.
And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons. -
The working class genuinely believes they’re “middle class”

And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.We gave up "all-flat-terrain", carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got "this road is not paved so I'll shake you so much that your baby will die", "created new jobs: climate disaster control", "just currently getting some self-driving capabilities".
I'm half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.

The middle class is a lie pushed by the rich to keep the working class subservient.

There's an almost unlimited amount of work to do. The elderly/children to care for, the art to be made, the research to be done, etc. Tractors freed up a huge amount of the world population to work on other things, current technology does the same.
The problem is that humans have made a system of tightly controlling what work gets valued, how much it gets paid, what should be done and gatekeeping qualifications/resources to be allowed to do things.

To cRazi_man's point there is some work that does needs to be done in order to ensure everyone has food, water, shelter, healthcare, free of poison, etc.
However the vast majority of human labor does not go towards those goals and is instead dedicated to who can get the highest score in 'slave games' while that necessary work is grossly undermanned.
It's not "unlimited" but holy shit is there a lot of damage from the last ~200 years that needs to be undone. Learning and teaching people to rest is a very important one.

That I'd wholeheartedly agree with. We long have reached a state of extreme productivity. Yet the spoils of labour is basically still the same. At least for the 99.9%

Reminds me of a visit to amazon where there were a ton of people packaging and labeling stuff into boxes and then into the robots. At the end of the tour we got to see a machine that eats a roll of cardboard and creates boxes on the fly for objects that are flowing into the machine from another conveyor. So the next phase will be people just taking stuff out of the truck and putting it on a conveyor.
