Most tech isn't "Anti worker". What determines pro/anti worker are laws and government policies that reciprocate with the cultural norms we adopt. At the moment, money in U.S. politics is the most anti-worker phenomena I can think of. The ultra wealthy have a monopoly on the incentives that create policy and how our lives are ordered. The only power working people seem to have is the ability to impose consequences via rogue guerilla acts of protest and violence (Luigi Mangion) . Hopefully, AI is a Frankenstein monster the public learns to wield to facilitate more of these "consequences" and upend the monopoly the super wealthy have on policy incentives and change the way politics is funded for good. It's a new world and a Hawaiian or New Zealand doomsday bunker isn't going make a difference.
