alt Hacker NewsThe few already have Abundance. I don’t care about them.
I’m talking housing, infrastructure, shipping, medical care, all critical services and sectors where fixing decades of lagging productivity will help the working class the most.

Who says that just because production becomes cheap anyone but the few will benefit from that? The few already control AI, what makes you think they will share its bounties? Why would they? The goodness of their hearts? The same guys that are sitting on their pile of gold like a dragon right now while countless die every day from things their resources could've fixed? What makes you think they'd suddenly change their behavior?
But AI is touted as the replacement for the working class? It’s TAM is “the combined wages and salaries of everyone below the C-suite” and it gets trillions of investment dollars, and letters of marque for copyright infringement and hacking, to pursue this market.
I mean, just look at the sequence of events you’re expecting here:
1. Ai companies achieve their stated goals
2. ???
3. Housing, infrastructure, medical care, etc get better for the working class
Are you the king of the underpants gnomes or something? How could it ever turn out this way? Why does anyone think it would? Am I taking crazy pills?
