OpenAI wants to tax automated labor

OpenAI wants to tax automated labor

The complex intersection of technological progress, economic stability, and human well-being across history and into the year 2026. Data from Our World in Data reveals a dramatic 150-year decline in working hours, while economist Tyler Cowen argues that modern institutional bottlenecks will prevent AI from triggering a rapid growth explosion. Contrasting this perspective, OpenAI's 2026 industrial policy proposes radical measures like "robot taxes" and a four-day workweek to manage the transition to superintelligence. Will Manidis critiques these corporate proposals as disconnected from the violent labor struggles of the past and reflects on the spiritual and cultural anxieties of a society obsessed with technical optimization. Together, the texts debate whether humanity is entering an age of unprecedented leisure or profound displacement as machines begin to outpace human productivity. These narratives suggest that the ultimate challenge of the intelligence age is not just economic efficiency, but redefining the human social contract.
