The value will tend towards infinity [1] because we can keep building more data centers. This will allow us to apply tokens to solving every problem we can conceive.

The cost will tend towards zero because competition is intense and there appear to be zero moats and ample improvements from every direction.

If these systems have low costs, that means they will be usable by the broad population and that their utility will be widely accessible.

Industrialization led to iPhone, PlayStation, Spotify, and Waymo.

AI will lead to personal chefs, contractors, assistants, drivers, tutors, climbing partners, ...

AI will lead to people making their own PlayStation games, their own music and streaming services (I already have), their own custom smartphones (a future personal project - vibe hardware). And your robot will drive you cross country on vacation while you sleep in the car.

[1] Not actually infinity because earth [2] has finite resources, but the S-curve will look like it for awhile.

[2] Until the robots leave earth, anyway

Right, and the consequence is going to be, what?

Humans with zero economic value can still vote. They can still mass. They will still have needs. Really the script here writes itself. The historical precedents bound the problem rather well. As always, radical social change will not occur until a wide swath of the population is aligned. In this case, due to their broad economic devaluation.

It would be easier if today's knowledge workers stopped deluding themselves into thinking that their standards of living will maintain. Your acknowledgement of the necessary predicate to change is, in that respect, progress in itself. There is little reason why we cannot accelerate the timing of broad consensus if more people so readily came to that conclusion - and resisted the temptation to then find the answer instead in nostalgia about the past.
