There is absolutely no clear line from the massive capitalistic society we have today and the post scarcity utopia you see coming. There is a massive, massive shift in thinking required among people with the level of wealth and power that allows them to force their thinking on the rest of us via dialogue and propaganda and also violence when the first two don't work. Color me cynical, but I believe we're on a dead-end track and the train is running at full speed. There's no conductor and we're all just playing with our belly buttons while we wait for the end. I believe LLM's and eventually AGI will only be used to entrench power structures that exist today. I believe, as most tools, the positive effects will almost immediately be outweighed by the negative. I believe The Road and all that type of dystopian fiction was really just non-fiction that happened to be written 50-100 years too early. But maybe I'm too cynical. Who knows?
