A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Languish is a strong word, post scarcity heavily implies most of our desires being met, not a minimum to survive.
It should still be the end goal in either case. Hopefully, we can have proper change before it to avoid some kind of techno feudalism.
My point is that what he's aiming for isn't what you're imagining or describing. He doesn't want comfort or care for others, he wants to have as much money and power as he can possible claw in, and others having something means he has less to hoard.
In short, he's lying and it's important to understand that.
Hopefully we can have change so we get what he predicts and not what he wants.
