AI, jobs, and universal abundance: a 22-year-old builder asks where this is headed

A 22-year-old builder says he leans on AI to vibe-code a SaaS product, but the technology still makes him uneasy about where the world is headed.
He asks a set of broad AGI questions: if AI does most work, what happens to jobs; whether only a few AI platforms will survive; whether governments will tax AI heavily and redistribute the gains; and whether the result is really universal abundance. He also references Elon Musk’s comments about a future where money may stop mattering, and wonders whether that vision is realistic.
