Yeah, that's a problem I know no good solution for 🤷 There would have to be a global consensus that the wealth created by AI would have to be mostly distributed down to the people. I can't see this in our capitalistic system.

there is a difference between a world with scarce resources and witout. Like Startrek.
I'm not sure what we're talking about here.
The idea is that in a world with AI that makes human labor mostly superfluous, the people controlling most of this AI will also control most of the resources. And this might be even worse than it is right now.
I agree. Of course the universe we live in will always be a limited-resource place. 🫂
Right, and not just nation state consensus, but like, everyone consensus. Assuming AI obediently follows the person who owns the computer, then not a single person can get out of line on that consensus. If they do they will get all the resources and everyone else will starve.
And that’s assuming AI is always perfectly obedient, which I’d argue is a bad assumption.
