What people mean when they cry to be freed from their labor, is the requirement to labor.

They want to be liberated from bills. If the angle were "AI is going to make your bills go away" everyone would be ecstatic about it. Instead it's "AI is going to make your job go away... so you can't pay your bills".

Yeah. That is the current angle. We have not setup another one and I don't know that any one institution can.

I think it's laudable (and unprecedented) that AI companies themselves are fairly gloom about some potential prospects, and give people opportunity to rally against them. Still needs work towards a solution, though.
