I expect the opposite, where if you are not exploiting your newly freed time with more work, you will be left behind.

This is the premise of the comic Power Nap.

Well, at some point it's up to us to say 'no.' Weekends have not always been a widely accepted ritual[1]. They only became one because of collective action.

Dedicating any and all of your free time to work only becomes a norm if we let it.

Well, they did specify your _newly_ freed time. So if you work 8 hours now and AI lets you do that work in 4, then you'll just do double the work in 8 hours, not get more free time.

I don't think there's an obvious point to take collective action.
