One user argues that much of the economy serves social consensus rather than genuine need, and worries AI will make agreement on allocating scarce resources harder.
TLDR
A user says extreme cultural change worries them more than self-replicating robots or digital hacking. They argue that much economic activity is about finding social balance, and fear AI will disrupt that process, making consensus on allocating genuinely scarce resources harder. In a follow-up reply, they say even the safest AI leads to a future they find “deeply unsettling” after seeing how the first three years went.
