Comment by David Duvenaud

I think 'post-scarcity' is a kind of nonsense term, and people should think of it as temporary abundance that will soon be eaten by whatever growth manages to reproduce the fastest. And whatever the formula is for giving out UBI, machines are going to be better at optimizing that formula than humans because they can adapt faster.
