That's literally the singularity though - the point past which predictions are meaningless.

My "plan" is hope for a benevolent intelligence that establishes a post-human government and then enjoy poat-scarcity society doing wood working or something.

Billionaires should probably be more worried.

Soylent Green and Mad Max with billionaires in private communities and bunkers sounds more likely than "paid to exist and woodwork"

On our present trajectory, any new super intelligence will be the billionaire’s plaything. Hope is indeed needed to see how it would benefit the common person.

I mean I could structure an argument as to why that might be unlikely but that's exactly the point: it's all speculation. We don't know what super intelligence would do. It's meaningless to try and plan for.
