Reply to comment by Calm_Bonus_6464 in Will the singularity require political revolution to be of maximum benefit? If so, what ideas need to change? by OldWorldRevival

When I state "singularity requires political revolution to be of maximum benefit," I mean that the political changes have to come before the singularity.

Otherwise, the general benefits may be concentrated in the hands of an elite as the elite and those with resources continually lose the need for the masses with automation, as they're able to be self-sufficient with food, labor, etc.

But it could be worse, where an elite few control the AGI.

Or, lots of people become homeless, and then they're treated like homeless are now.

ASI does come before singularity. And ASI would solve much of those concerns. ASI has no reason to be any more benevolent to elites compared to anyone else. Elites cannot control a being that is far more intelligent than them. You're thinking AGI, not ASI, both have to happen before Singularity.
