That's the question I asked Tom Waite.

He's a senior writer at Dazed and reports on the intersection of culture and tech.

Okay, that's fair.

But I still get the sense that you're pretty optimistic about how this could play out.

So if AI abundance works the way people hope it will, what would a world with less work look like in practice?

I know it's very unhealthy for us to be defined by our work

But I also recognize that work can be something that gives our life purpose.

And, you know, I think that's a cross beliefs.

Capitalism, of course, thrives on it.

But Marx argued that humans are productive by nature.

Work doesn't have to be a bad thing, right?

Like, I guess to put it another way, without work, like, do we have less purpose?

Yeah, what would it take for this world to become an actual reality?

Is there anything that like we, like I'm thinking normal everyday people, is there anything we can do to shape the way AI transforms our lives?
