alt Hacker News> Nobody in any position of power is even hinting this is driving toward post-scarcity
Who are you counting as being in "any position of power"? All the AI lab people are saying that the most likely and best outcome is we all live in a world of abundance where money doesn't matter anymore. Dario, Sam, Demis, and Elon have all said this loudly and repeatedly to anyone who asks.
None of them have articulated a coherent way to get there from here. But they all believe that the technology will make it possible, so the only unresolved question is how to transition us there.

In their words, sure. In their actions, who among them has actually worked to make the dream of post-scarcity come alive?
From what I've seen, UBI is just a carrot dangled in front of the poors by utopian Silicon Valley tech bro megabillionaires when they're trying to drum up some PR for whatever big idea they're pimping out at the moment.

And none of them ever spoke a lie. Especially not if it would further their goals at someone else's expense.
