Justifying each of my questionable financial decisions with the fact that we’re headed towards a future of abundance Don’t be like, totally reckless, but also most of it won’t matter in a few years anyway

Saving for a distant future is pointless. Abundance is coming.

The real question is how long is a few years. It's not only predicted by the improvements in AI and robotics, but also how long it takes the capitalist model to break down or to evolve into the future state where everyone benefits from the abundance.

You're right... I should buy a snowmobile.

Fair if the timeline is actually short.

Sweet! So that means all 8 billion+ people on Earth can have a mansion with a Ferrari and Lamborghini parked out front? Or is it more likely that the people in power will horde all the wealth, as it has been done for all of human history... (If you believe this nonsense, you're retarded)

Exactly the opposite is true. You either own assets or you're at the mercy of the ruling class.

People assume abundance means ubiquitous abundance. They forget we already have abundance, but people are doing everything they can to steal as much of it from others as possible. Increasing abundance won't end exploitation or abuse.

Perhaps a little counterintuitive, but I think of holding my SpaceX and Tesla shares as shorting the companies. I know they’re going to do amazingly well. If they achieve their goals, the shares won’t matter. If they come short of achieving their goals, the shares will matter.

If saving for the future becomes pointless, what is the alternative for ordinary people right now? Most of them still have rent, bills and a pension to worry about.

Yes it will. No one is going to give you land. If you're dependent upon others you are at their mercy. Humans are not generous. Note how Mr. Musk not only holds on to his $$$ - but he continues to amass more of it.

That abundance will be paid for in misery and blood. There is no free lunch.

I have the same attitude lately. I'm basically 98% certain that I won't need a retirement fund for in 40+ years time. Can't even imagine what the world will look like then

Don't listen to that crap of super abundance, scarcity will not be overcome like that! Believing this and acting accordingly will make your future miserable and you lose your independence! @elonmusk spreading this is reckless.

It's never, ever going to happen and teaching kids this will end in ruin. Very irresponsible and delusional.

How do you imagine this works? For example, if it’s super abundant, can everyone have a Ferrari? If no, why not?

People usually don't comprehend the fact that the idea of Super Intelligence is mainly for abundance to humanity. Human doesn't have to work anymore because Super Intelligence will do all the work in every sector and industry while it generates passive income to humanity. This fact means that humans would sit at home, relaxed on the couch on a typical Monday morning while they get paid for doing absolutely nothing because Super Intelligence has done all the work no matter the capacity or work loads. That is my understanding about Super Intelligence and maybe the future will show us rightly....

@grok We talked about this 8 months ago and you told me it’ll be over 10 years before we hit a stage like this What has changed.

That abundance won't be equally divided anymore than any other type of wealth has been divided in the history of mankind.

This also applies to investing in these companies creating abundance?

We already have abundance. It's just concentrated in a tiny % of greedy bastards. And it'll stay that way in the era of artificial or supergay intelligence or whatever you may call it!

You're assuming that those that produce this abundance will benevolently distribute it to all. That's very much not guaranteed. We already overproduce food by like 30% based on the number of humans we have, and yet millions of people live in hunger

I prefer not to rely on this. There are lots of people who vote Democrat trying to ruin this future.
