Post Capitalism：AI 与后稀缺时代的终结想象
Post Capitalism
一篇题为《Post Capitalism》的评论文章认为，资本主义正走向终点，货币已与任何实物脱钩，美国公司靠卖股权而非产品维持。作者提出，若 AI 发展顺利，20 年后人们可脱离电网生活，无需支付房租、电费、水费、安保费和食物开销，由自有机器人供给；若 AI 发展不顺，这个后稀缺世界便是被夺走的未来。
You know we don’t have to do this anymore, right?
Like it’s hitting the end. Most people don’t want this, and there will only be so long you can keep shoving it down their throats. Money is tied to nothing. American companies sell equity instead of products. The main narratives are pushing fear and resentment. This doesn’t last.
“It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.”
Maybe that’s why people think AI will end the world. Because if it goes well, in 20 years, you’ll be able to live very comfortably off the grid without any recurring expense. No rent, no electric bill, no water bill, no security bill, and no food bill. No more rent seeking, the robots you own will provide.
And if AI doesn’t go well – if the system keeping power was worth sacrificing the future for – then that post scarcity world is what they took from you.
