We've had technological progress that rapidly shifts the number of person-hours per <output> for generations. We don't have to guess. We've seen this play out many times already.

At first, we spend our time one way (say eight hours, just to pick a number). Then we get the tools to do all of that in six hours. Then when job seeking and hiring, we get one worker willing to work six hours and another willing to work eight, so the eight-hour worker gets the job, all else equal. Labor is a marketplace, so we work as much as we're willing to in aggregate, which is roughly constant over time, so efficiency will never free up individuals' time.

In the context of TFA, it means we just shift our time to "harder" work (in the sense of work that AI can't do yet).

Only the the context of weak labor laws and no unions.

There are more workers than CEOs and CEOs don't create the value, the workers do. What CEOs largely do is monetize and take credit for all the value creation.

I don't think things can continue along the current unsustainable path in the US. Something will break; hopefully in a sensible way and not the historical pitchforks and arson.

Do you think people get hired by bidding for number of hours they want to work?
