If any of the super wealthy people actively promoting this fantasy actually believed it they wouldn’t be so worried about amassing wealth today. "Over abundance" talk happened during previous technological revolutions too: at best it was just silly over optimism, at this point I tend to think they’re just obliquely preparing us for underemployment and lower incomes.

Here's how this can make sense:

1. OpenAI goes public. 2. Pay off the USA's debts with OpenAI stock. 3. Crash the bubble with no survivors. 4. Finally blockchain is useful.
