Those are interesting thoughts, and I believe that you are right, but this part: "If AI creates abundance, humans need access to that abundance, or this becomes another story about wealth concentrating upward while everyone underneath scrambles harder" is crucial and I don't believe that, given the actual political situation both in the US and in the world, things will turn out fine. So the "scrambling harder" remains very dangerous.
I have expectations that we will see a BEGINING of things turning around after the Mid-term elections which will have bearning on the scrambling harder dynamic. I hold the hope that we see a congress peppered with FDR democrats- who have a fire in their belly for the working class. Unfortunatley there is no panecea and the turning around will take more time than any of us would like.
I think AI may just push us to be unabashedly and fully human. You already do this. You show up here on Notes every day as yourself, not hiding. That is what we all have to do, me included. AI can't take our humanity away, but it may force us to finally show it. Thank you for leading the way.

It was so refreshing to read a “positive” note about AI.
Excellent and thought provoking!
