> If human labor really does become superfluous, that’s not a world where “ordinary people” are okay by default, but rather a world where the entire economic operating system needs to be redesigned. Oks treats this as a distant concern. I’d argue it’s the thing most worth worrying about, because policy needs to be built before we arrive there, not after.

I agree with this sentiment, but history shows that humans are absolutely terrible at planning for revolutionary systemic changes like this. Our current inability to address climate change in any systematic way is just the latest example. It seems to me that if and when human labor becomes superfluous it will most likely result in a lot of chaos before a new system emerges.
