        If we play our cards right, we can all be bourgeoisie. Automate all alienated labor roles, let people do the non-alienated (ie meaningful) tasks themselves if they like.

        For $20/mo, anyone can have a personal assistant that takes dictation, does research, writes reports, etc.

        Assuming we can keep AI unconscious, nobody has to be an industrial or bureaucratic worker any longer. Unless they enjoy it.
