For which poor unemployed people who just got laid off due to AI are the Robots building house for? More abstractly, for whom are we creating are these productivity miracles and surplus for. Does a rich person suddenly need a million iPhones for himself and himself alone?

This time the have-nots have a better target to attack. The datacenters. A concentrated physical manifestation of would-be trillionaire superrichs.

Some loose thoughts on AI singularity

We have to handle this phase transition process deftly.

We have so many problems to solve and we need people to solve them. AI will aid them in that.

Let's say there are there are only 1 million people in the world and all the money is concentrated under 1 person. There will be no economy at all. This implies some form of UBI is coming. This is the main reason why Christian tradition had the concept of Debt Jubilee

If UBI is not coming, youths will force the rich to share the abundance because they now a concentrated target to attack. ie Data centres. Concentration works both ways. Rich can accumulate power. But that power has a physical manifestation. And that could get attacked.

An employee allegedly burned down a 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark toilet paper warehouse in Ontario, California, causing an estimated ($500) million in damage. The massive 2026 Ontario Warehouse Fire was set on April 7, 2026.
