Really interesting post which much gives greater nuance to worker resistance to AI than the conventional dismissal of Luddism (tho the Luddites did in fact have the same nuance at the time, they just lost the narrative, as well as the fight). One of those posts where the value is front loaded - the description of worker anxieties is much better than the prescriptions on what to do about it. Simple fact is companies need to share equity share for employees, and materially give them reward for AI optimisation, currently beyond the pale, our collective job is to extend the boundaries of the pale. H/T to brainfooder Ivan Harrison for the share.
