That's been the prediction with many technological updates, but here we are. This setup works just fine for the small group of fantastically wealthy and powerful people that dictate society's requirements for the rest of us.

I can't imagine anything changing our culture's insistence that personal responsibility in employment means zero responsibility for employers, policy makers, or society at large. That is, short of a large scale armed rebellion, or maybe mass unionization.

don't worry; AI drones will deal efficiently with both those forms of terrorism and malinformation

With all of the great AI-driven public opinion influencing tools? I can't imagine they'd need to TBH. To be clear, I think the likelihood of an armed rebellion is zero, and a successful one would be less than zero. While mass unionization may be more likely, as soon as it starts to significantly impact the top's bottom line across the board, we'd see a bunch of laws that cripple unions.
