geohot publishes 'Post Capitalism': if AI goes well, no rent or bills in 20 years
Bedrovelsen · x · 2026-09-29
George Hotz (geohot) published an essay titled 'Post Capitalism' arguing the current system is ending: money is tied to nothing, US companies sell equity instead of products, and fear-driven narratives can't last. He suggests that if AI goes well, within 20 years people could live comfortably off-grid with no rent, utilities, or food costs — an end to rent-seeking. If AI goes badly, that post-scarcity world is what the power structure took from you.
