One might argue the social media companies already did that research before adopting infinite scroll.

Should, but won't.

Let me know when someone halfway trustworthy says it.

I've reread your post a few times and I can't make heads or tails of it. I don't even disagree with anything you've said, it just seems like a total non-sequitur; nothing you've said gives any reason to disbelieve that AI will put (many) people out of work.

Sounds like you have a gap of knowledge and understanding if you're not getting it.

If you can't explain your idea, I doubt it possesses any merit. A commoditization of AI as you're describing does not in any way rule out mass unemployment.

Perhaps there are no such movements because all the men who could start them choose to sit around waiting for women to do it instead?

This checks out: all the confederate flag wavers view conscription just like they view slavery: it's great when it happens to someone else.

Perhaps you missed the memo, but affording basic dignity/respect to those you disagree with is "woke" and therefore bad.

Pedantically, I think you mean Isaiah Berlin's foxes and hedgehogs[0].

> assuming we dont have some incredibly unlikely massive mobilization towards post-work post-scarcity thinking with active social safety nets

The problem being that we're not actually heading toward post-work or post-scarcity. We're heading towards post-knowledge-work. Any chance of UBI or similar will be summarily shot down by the Epstein class, most likely by using their ownership of 90+% of the media to drive a class war between the ascendant blue collar workers and the collapsing white collar workers.

I'm sure they'll welcome us as liberators and we can declare "Mission Accomplished!" any day now.
