This seems obvious even with something approaching AGI. Ultimately, you'll have to distribute capability to the population. But how does the population even use it effectively? Who does the distribution and who gets it becomes more of a social political question than a technical one.

Appalachia and rural NC didn't get the benefits of slave labor based internet technology like SF or even Raleigh did. Even if you 10x, 100x GDP, who says even 2x of that growth goes to those place? Why would say, Sam Altman*, not just round up problematic people and areas with humanoid robots if they needed resources or just became unhappy with the goods given?

Even places like SF are famously dystopian and poor in a lot of areas. The border of Tenderloin and Nob Hill have addicts shitting on the street with the worst poverty you have ever seen three blocks from a social club with Bentleys and Rolls Royce cars. Human nature is such that a decision between space faring yachts for the 1% and a 1960s style middle class life for the masses the space faring yachts are going to win every time.


* Altman has argued they would be token distributors and give access to people in allotments that could then use their AI power to build things.

Jimmy Fallon is such a great interviewer and late night host! The best in the biz, if you ask me!

That's the best ad for modern conservatism I've ever seen.

"trad wives" downing antidepressants and 3 bottles of wine while AI raises their kids and their husbands go to alpha male retreats?

$2 million surrogate born designer babies with gay tech dads using robots to raise the baby so they can go to brunch in their $4.6 million Koenigsegg Regera. So relatable.
