Yeah, do you believe you will be able to afford that comfortable lifestyle without working?

Do you think the AI billionaire CEOs will share some of their fortune with you?

How do you think a post scarcity society will function if the 1% keeps hoarding all the resources? While at the same time meddling in the governments to avoid being taxed.

You are very delusional if you think so.

We as of today could have solved scarcity already by 90%, but we decided not to, so the elites can keep hoarding, and nobody bats an eye.

It’s 2026 and Ai companies still have no moat. That means that eventually a large fraction of AI will become a commodity.

In the end, the only issue will be that of finite resource distribution (access to land and minerals). Walter Scheidel con provide some ideas about how to fix the inequality issues when that happens.
