The most drag on a life without work, is put by having to buy physical products, that are not useful, except for status display or decoration. This is why AR- done right would be such a game-changer.
No more throw-away decoration bought at ikea. No more physical products like books, any stone with a small piece of cloth, could be a book.
No more displays of status by buying advertised products - instead, status is what you create, growing out of your footsteps as you walk down a public street.
If all those products fade to grey, lots of work will become unneeded.
And we are almost there.

- germinalphrase 5y agoThe de-materialization of AR could lead in the direction you’re discussing, but almost certainly won’t. The infrastructure is/will be developed by organizations that are explicitly a part of (and escalate) the material and status culture you deride. Some of these companies explicitly make their wealth based on advertising and will hardly give up those profit streams willingly when the shift to AR takes place. Most people are trapped playing other people’s games, but the shift to AR won’t solve that.

One being good for the environment and some ARtist, the other being a hazard and supporting wastefulness, i can see this actually working out. Finally, its faster, its instant and not limited by physic limitations.
