alt Hacker NewsSure, but do you want abundance of software, or scarcity?
The price of having "star trek computers" is that people who work with computers have to adapt to the changes. Seems worth it?

Abundance of services before abundance of physical resources seems like the worst of both worlds.

Both abundance and scarcity can be bad. If you can't imagine a world where abundance of software is a very bad thing, I'd suggest you have a limited imagination?

It’s not worth it because we don’t have the Star Trek culture to go with it.
Given current political and business leadership across the world, we are headed to a dystopian hellscape and AI is speeding up the journey exponentially.
My only objection here is that technology wont save us unless we also have a voice in how it is used. I don't think personal adaptation is enough for that. We need to adapt our ways to engage with power.
