So... nothing. Glad we're in agreement here. If AI can do all the things people hope/dream it can, there won't be any value in doing it on behalf of folks. I would argue that even some "AI provider" (if that could even be a thing given a sophisticated enough agent) would see diminishing returns as the tech inevitably distills into everyone having bespoke agents running locally and handling/organizing/managing everything (of whatever needs managing, who knows).

Basically I don't see how you can be an AI maximalist and a capitalist at the same time. They're contradictory, IMO.

I think it becomes more a religious and philosophical question than an economic question. We need to separate economics from the neoliberal religion.

Byung-Chul Han - Psychopolitics should be standard text that everyone is discussing right now but instead we will probably do nothing and the future will suffer the consequences of our collective intellectual laziness.

neoliberal ideas vs Marxism is just incredibly intellectually lazy. We really need to think on the level of the way Marx did about the industrial revolution in a new way without being lazy and just falling back on the standard Marxist orothodxy religious ideas.

We don't just need a protestant reformation, we need an entire new religion to deal with this. I think that will be too hard so if I had to bet my bet would be on we do absolutely nothing.
