It's really interesting to think about the incentives for creating ASI in the capitalist system. There are huge market and resource incentives to create ASI. All the way up until the point that there isn't, because the technology can probably create the means to eliminate most resource scarcity.

It may be the very thing that unravels their centralization of resources, and thus, power.

See Mercedes announced a car model for which you can pay a subscription to unlock the full performance of the motor? See NFTs? See AI snatching up all available housing for corporate investors?

That's the answer: artificial scarcity has always been a feature of this system and will only get worse.
