This has been part of the critique of technology by primitivists for a while now; "labor saving" technology simply stops us from laboring on things we used to and we just move to laboring on other things on the newest level of abstraction with our freed up time / energy.

If society has uncurbed "greed", there can just be a constant "996 grind" on the cutting edge of whatever technological development currently exists.

or we could work on other projects, but yeah, take a break of some kind
