True enough. But even if (or when) it becomes economically viable, it will take decades to implement it at scale. So what happens during this transition?

An ideal scenario would be easily accessible energy through fusion, and then the AI replacement. But for now it looks like the reverse scenario is happening. Which I'm not too optimistic about.

There’s also renewables. When the entire supply chain for wind mills or solar panels become fully automated, energy prices will quickly trend to zero without any new technology beyond AI. Even if you are concerned about rare earth minerals there’s undersea mining that would become more reasonable at that point in time
