Think of it like this, would you rather have everything and be liked by everyone. Or have everything and be hated by everyone?

Humans are a social species, there's no profit from elon shitposting on twitter (in fact it costs him money) yet he still does it every day.

But he could have finansed something filantropic instead of buying Twitter. He can still do that right now. Why would rich people not just continue hoarding wealth? Elon Musk is choosing to be ridiculed instead of being seen as a 'saviour'. I think you are putting a lot of faith on human rationality.

Because without labor there's no costumers, without costumers the meaning of wealth itself changes. You're not gonna be able to sell the stuff afterwards and even if you did there's no point in it because your factory is the one making everything.

The only reason I could think of for a person in that situation to continue uselessly hoarding is if they're stupid. If that's the case then we're truly fucked.

In the worst case scenario where a single moron has access to ASI on his own, I think that any ASI worth a fuck would tell them there's no point in hoarding resources further.
