What Happens When Capital, Not Labor Is Responsible For Wealth

This is, frankly, an easy and not a very long read and the UI is excellent.  It's worth your time. Anthropic also links from this piece to a very long technical report with lots of math like this: Δ𝑔𝑡 = 𝑔 h 𝑒 𝜆 Δ ln𝑅𝑡 − (1−𝜙𝑅 ) Δ ln 𝐴𝑡 − 1 i ≈ 𝑔 h 𝜆 Δ ln𝑅𝑡 − (1 − 𝜙𝑅 ) Δ ln 𝐴𝑡 i . I have not read that report.

But this reporting on the scenarios for our economic future leaves me asking... what are we going to do if AI produces ridiculous amounts of wealth, but humans aren’t required to produce that much of it? We’re not currently built for a world were capital, not labor, eats most of the profits.
