You essentially described the Republican and Libertarian perspectives in the US.
The Republicans seem to see it as immoral to potentially give a few people support they don't need even if that means that most of the people who need the support actually get it. And, instead, they believe that having an inconsistent array of private interests will somehow be more able to service an enormous population than having an organization (like government...) that is large enough to match that population's needs.
The Libertarians seem to either genuinely not care about the rest of the world or, more often than not, seem to be naive about how life can be for the less privileged.
It's the lie of the "rugged individualist" in America. Most "successful" people come from successful families. Social mobility, in the US, is part of that lie. Here, we celebrate the person who rises from poverty to become wealthy as a member of a sports team, or as an actor, or similar, while disregarding that these massive successes are outliers.
> If your team can generate code faster than it can review it, you have a bottleneck. The constraint is human judgment, not output.
Given almost any group of coders, who are proficient in their technologies of choice, coding speed almost always exceeds reviewing speed. Same as it ever was.
Given any arbitrarily worthwhile problem to solve, the actual cost is in solving the problem or the cost to serve or both. Cost to serve if the solution is inefficient or the problem space barely tractable.
> Knowledge workers hold a different relationship to their labor than manufacturing workers did. For a cognitive professional, expertise is not only an activity. It is a large part of the self.
Really? The way a knowledge worker feels about their labor is different than a manufacturing worker? They don't or can't have similar pride in their labor? In their skills?
This is some seriously self-aggrandizing bullshit. Touch some grass.
Imagine that. People who are responsible for guiding the morals of much of the world's population see moral implications in AI. How dare these mere "religious leaders" guide their flock.
FFS. Morals come from somewhere. For many, that's religion. Deal with it.
Were you alive in the 80s? Flying really was better back then. The food was edible. The seats weren't optimized for torture.
"Inane regulations", however misguided, generally exist to prevent the Torment Nexus. PE devolves companies into the Torment Nexus to create more profit.

I'm so often disappointed in my own country.
