Third option. Mandatory 4 day weeks.

Although I'd specify it as no one can work more than X hours a week.

And then adjust X down - or up in short timescales but likely down overall - as needed.

The competition is for "work". If AI is taking large chunks of "work" off the table. Spread the rest of it around.

Now notionally people will tell you that there is no finite "work" limit. You are effectively limiting competition.

To which I say - good. The rat race IS the competition. Don't we all want to slow it down a little? If F1 can put limits on a race, we should too for humanity.

Work smarter, not harder.
