We’ve been saying that the world would have less scarcity for decades now but the middle class are poorer than they were back in the 60s. Affording a house is impossible now. Food price is through the roof yet we’ve never produced so much resources in human history. Farming equipments are more efficient than ever

Capital/Net Worth inequality is different than the amount of actual produce available though. We have more than enough food to feed everyone and enough homes to house everyone, it’s just not distributed fairly.

That’s because of all of the anti-middle class economic changes that the republicans implemented during the last 50 years.

  • Less scarcity in entertainment and media content.
  • Less scarcity in cheap workers, including educated ones with debt.
  • Less scarcity in services which can be done or supported by such AI.

You don't think AI will be used in areas that we use on a day to day basis? Food production, energy supply, housing production.

Seems like you're comment was kinda cynical, AI will benefit us more than it will hurt us.

I was referring to the headline: Generative AI, hype. It's about the current content production.

The absolute lack of scarcity is a world without a need for workers. Do your shades still fit you? 😎

Or they will get rid of excess means of production through war or attrition.
