I throughly appreciate the thought experiment, as well as the detailed outlining of core effects of workforce stratification. As my focus is Education, I totally concur it's "time to reimagine curricula." Unfortunately, those systems move too slowly and right now the 'heritage' workers, for the most part, are either not not that interested in moving it faster, or are so totally overwhelmed they are frozen to act. There is intensive dialogue amongst teachers on how exactly are they to prepare students for a future no one can really foresee. So, for the major of students, not only does education continue to focus on teaching for specific jobs, but it also focuses on memorizing disjoined curriculum with no overview of understanding. I profoundly agree, that education" needs to focus on skills that complement AI, such as creative problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and ethical decision-making, alongside technical skills in AI interaction", for that is the reality of the future. So, I'm pondering how the schools CAN not only teach critical thinking skills ,and problem solving, both which require significant knowledge laced with understanding, so that students CAN collaborate with machines. AI-augmented workers, or augmenters. It might be an even more challenging moment in schools than in the workplace.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. It is sad to hear that schools are "frozen to act." I hope to offer some solutions.
