The argument that an AGI boom could vindicate neoliberalism
One post suggests that an industrial boom driven by artificial general intelligence could recast financialization and offshoring as a capital-accumulation phase that helped enable mass reindustrialization.
TLDR
A post argues that if artificial general intelligence delivers a robotics-driven industrial boom and society-wide wealth creation, neoliberalism could appear vindicated. In that interpretation, financialization and offshoring would look like a buildup of capital that enabled a technological transformation, rather than simply a period of deindustrialization. The author explicitly says none of this is inevitable, citing China and existential risk as major contingencies.
