Technological progress is a classic multipolar trap - an arms race where rational individuals take action that harms society as a whole. If you decide to not play in the game, you lose the game. There will always be "defectors" that are willing to stay in the game and gain massive economic advantages over the Luddites as a result. When you think about the power structures of the modern world, there are virtually no examples where the powerful have gained power by swearing off modern technology - that would be a political non-starter. But we do see countless examples of powerful technologists simply crushing the cultures that stand in their way. Rational people see this and act according to their self-interested desire to not get crushed. All that is to say, I don't think a strike based on AI protection will succeed. A strike based on more fundamental workplace and human rights, possibly. But a reactionary anti-technology strike ain't going to happen.
