I think the jobs and "fuck you, scum. third-world workers do 10x your output for 10x cheaper" situation might end up being too much for people.

You can put people through a lot of indignity but once you start having people acclimated to a Western first-world lifestyle now actively competing with AI and people from the third-world and telling that they're not working hard enough if they're not willing to live the debased existence of an AI or that someone from the third world is willing to live for basic first-world access, something must give.

Surely.
