I could see a very strong restructuring of society built around high taxation of heavily AI implemented industries to subsidize a labor program built around cleaning up the environment.

Lets have people become ocean garbage fishers, tree planters, urban cleaners, river cleaners , wildlife habitat rebuilders, policing watchdogs for companies that break the rules, etc etc.

Not all of this is some big brained work either, the average person CAN do it and machinery can be invented (some of it already has) to assist in this work at scale.

Now of course the people have to demand this themselves challenging the status quo cause companies would sure as hell never want to pay for this and some organization will have to figure out where all that waste ends up (deep space?) but it doesn't take away the validity of this space as a valid transitionary role for humans to partake in while we figure out the long term.

Thoughts? Challenges you suspect?
