I'm a transhumanist, I want to build god and kill death. To me this looks like we are moving in the right direction.

So basically I think that the future is getting pretty weird because we are building really powerful tools, though these tools are precisely what allows us to prosper in that future.

Or, conversely, they are the exact tools that will allow the powerful folks to not care about the peasants anymore. History tells us what happens then.

It's very unlikely that a superintelligent AI will create unlimited prosperity for everyone on a finite world in a short amount of time. You may not be among the lucky ones.
