If humans are irrelevant to the world's "economic activity", then that economic activity should be irrelevant to humans.
We should make sure that the technology to eliminate scarcity is evenly distributed so that nobody is left poor in a world of exponentially and automatically increasing riches.
- hackinthebochs 3y agoTechnology doesn't in itself eliminate scarcity as long as raw materials and natural resources are scarce. In this case, all technology does is allow more efficient control over these resources and their by-products. Everyone having their own pet AGI on their cell phone doesn't materialize food or fresh water.
