It's a joke but that's sort of what happened in the US during the CoViD lockdowns. People weren't at work so they had free time to care about unions, racist policing, civil liberties, etc. Even if AI really could take over huge swathes of the work, there's a fair likelihood of the people who lost their jobs turning data centers into war zones and then autonomous zones.
