Hmm my edtech aims for global literacy; so a reading programme for ESL kids who may be disadvantaged enough to only have access to a smartphone.
So that at least frees me from that glum thought of IQ vs Nurture tug-o-war.
While I'm at it, I might as well advertise:

Someone with good tech skills will especially be welcomed, as I'm a bit rusty, and plus it's more enjoyable to make pictures and courses. I'm based in the UK but I'm not fussy about having an online collaborator :)
Hi there. You can come join us on the "light" side at business bootstrappers.

I'm less certain than you are that good online education resources for K-12 would also mean the end of teacher jobs.
The anecdote about bank teller jobs and ATMs comes to mind - https://www.aei.org/publication/what-atms-bank-tellers-rise-...
Not saying that teacher jobs are likely to increase, just that I'm not sure they'd go away altogether, either.
Also, an efficient, nationwide online schooling system (CAVA in California as an example,) would be the end of something like 90% of the teachers in the country. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing? Who even knows...
Everything has trade-offs.
