Idk, I’ll always be skeptical about AI changing the game. It’s fundamental to market economics that it adapts to new technology, no matter how disruptive. The very system that got the rich AI cultists where they are now ensures it can never deliver what they want. We probably could have a relatively post scarcity society even with pre AI technology, but scarcity is economics. There is no escaping the return to homeostasis.
Society collapsing has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with neoliberalism as an ideology; the belief that the market is the only tool and all restrictions on it are impediments to world peace. They cannot conceptualize that the squeezing of almost everyone through artificial scarcity does more to destabilize the world than governments subsidizing their own industries to gain national wealth. It was always an excuse for already fortunate men from already fortunate countries to become even more fortunate.
People don’t go hungry because robots are too good for them to compete. Even if LLMs weren’t a dead end for creating artificial labor, people would still go hungry because of capitalism. UBI doesn’t fix the underlying problem of not even the upper middle class being secure in their safety. A few thousand people have god like dictatorial power over the direction of society, and they only choose to gain themselves more power. Until they aren’t the ones making unilateral decisions, we will only see further collapse.
