No positive AI vision where human labor is redundant — ASI will reshape the economy around human value
sudoraohacker · x · 2026-11-15
Responding to Patrick Collison's question about whether great creative work survives without market incentives, the author argues there is no positive vision where human labor is redundant — those are dystopias. ASI will make unwanted work abundant and near-costless, shifting the economy toward maintaining ASI infrastructure and goods valued for the human element (arts, healthcare, science). Markets will reorient around the human economy, and a second "Space Machine" economy built by ASI off-planet may emerge, with humans as partial equity holders.
