Scarcity to end by 2026; AI and robotics will drive 2030s abundance
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-08-23
The author predicts that historical inevitabilities like scarcity, disease, and dangerous labor will end starting in 2026. AI makes intelligence abundant; robotics will make physical labor abundant; AI is solving diseases including cancer; and energy will reach Star Trek-level prosperity. These technologies accelerate each other in an exponential loop, driving this abundance in the 2030s rather than centuries later.
