In the land/labor/capital triad, the only thing that will be post-scarcity due to AI will be labor. Anyone who lacks one of the others will be screwed since the only they have to trade - their labor - will be worthless.
- SoftTalker 4y agoIf nobody can buy your land or trade your capital, what do you really have? We need the value produced by labor for there to be a market for anything else.

- chii 4y agothe labour being replaced by autonomous robots driven by an AI means that the output is cheap, and plentiful. But this requires initial capital to get going, and that capital (and land) is what gets traded. At some point, when capital is no longer required, then it would become worthless, but by then i think humanity would've reached star trek level of post-scarcity (or killed themselves with a war).
- mcaledonensis 4y agoIt is not impossible to setup taxation and public/private ownership of AI in a way that is beneficial to humanity.
- blooalien 4y agoIt's not impossible, but it is highly unlikely to happen that way… There's a certain group of humans that are determined to hoard all that they can, and they don't want to share.
- mcaledonensis 4y agoEducation is probably an answer to this. And citizens do have some influence. Vote for one candidate: [ ] Trump Putin Musk [ ] Biden Zelensky Altman
