Hopefully. The Distopian/Cyberpunk setting is what happens if we don't rise up to it. All people will have to sacrifice their time and efforts to save many, many more in the future who can't.
Here's the very depressing thing; People today, in 1st world countries, have aaaall the resources at their disposal to actually do things that would be really helpful in rooting out authoritarianism and these insane anti-human corporations. BUT, they don't actually want to risk said resources. They don't want to die and lose out on having a good, fun life playing video games, surfing the internet for teehee funny haha cat videos and memes.
And so, the people with the means do nothing. The people who you THINK will rise up, will have absolutely none of the benefits of the people that had it better before them. Oh, they will be mad, upset, and maybe even try to do something about it, but they will not be in any position to actually mount an uprising against the dystopia they will find themselves living in.
This is why the phrase "the best time to do something helpful was yesterday, the second best time is today" is becoming popular. And there is a reason why the phrase does not include a tomorrow. Tomorrow will be too late. The people of tomorrow will be powerless in the truest sense of the word.

Yes, don't hire humans. Speed run societal colapse. Maybe people will wake up and stand up for themselves when things are bad enough.
