The rich are getting richer, boomers are retiring, millennials can't afford to buy homes, GDP growth is slowing down, the cost of living is rising.

The rich are getting richer but the poor are likewise also getting richer ? Cost of living is rising but so is household income? Although I don’t understand what any of this has to do with only billionaires being affected/participating in the singularity

I think there are a lot of people whose income does not increase fast enough to keep up with their increased cost of living, especially now with inflation so high and Powell having declared war on employment. From their perspective it can look as if the middle class is being erased. I don't believe that generalization is valid but it will be interesting to see what happens to jobs when AGI makes humans obsolete.
