Exactly! The rich don't want to see mass starvation any more than the rest of us. We only permit homelessness and food insecurity now because of scarcity and a "just deserts" mentality where we blame people for their lot in life. When AI is doing the majority of labor, there will be no "just deserts" mentality, and there will be massive abundance.
replyI think the klept can maintain their "just desserts" mentality longer than you and I can maintain our metabolic integrity.
replyThis is plainly delusional. There already is abundance, global crop lands produce enough calories to feed twice the world’s population[0]. Greed is the reason for inequality and “AI” is not solving that. It is pure wishful utopian thinking to believe that there will be some massive AI-initiated abundance.

It would seem to me that the main source of food insecurity is violent conflict rather than greed.
replyThe main source of famine is corruption. Ireland had enough food, but it was exported to rich people.
