Billionaires are very immoral people, and the resources available to them are limited by the presence of the rest of us. You can see that in their behaviour now, buying all the neighbouring properties in an area to have more space, exclusive use of things that require space and time.

While I don't disagree with that, I still don't think there's anything to be gained from letting everyone starve.

Like Jeff Bezos can buy a billion hamburgers but he can't eat them all. With automatic production what is the point in hoarding something that it's free for you to produce and nobody can buy? It would be like hoarding sand.

What resources do you think AGI couldn't produce automatically and therefore would be scarce still?

Space, time, privacy, silence, exclusivity.

Can't you think of some solutions to those problems that don't involve killing humanity? I'm sure AGI will.

Unless the person who "owns" the AGI is literally Hitler, I don't see the worst case scenario happening.
