I assure you, even if the technology one day is fully unsupervised, with minimal involvement from the humans, no carbon emission, etc, people will still publish the exact same articles, form unions, protest, etc: we are abused, there is inequality and exploitation, the productivity gains of technologies must be equally shared regardless of the contributions, introduce ever higher taxation, and so on.

Amazon apparently pays around $25/hour to its starting warehouse workers. That’s 1k per week for 40 hours per week, or around 4k/month. That’s more than what French government pays its rocket scientists. People can discover their market rates based on their skills, and are free to work for another employer. There is no lock down.
