The economic singularity can liberate us from wage slavery, and spark a second renaissance. But we will need a different form of capitalism – fully automated luxury capitalism – to achieve the economy of abundance. The technological singularity is when we create human-level artificial intelligence (artificial general intelligence or AGI), which goes on to become a superintelligence. Both these singularities could have wonderful consequences for us – or terrible ones.Disputed source

Authentic and attributable to Calum Chace: an indexed copy of his official about page contains these sentences in first person, but the stored version is not verbatim because the source inserts additional intervening sentences after “abundance” and after “superintelligence.” The live page now redirects, and I could not recover a precise publication date from reliable evidence.

Calum Chace’s About page is the source of this passage and does attribute the words to him, but the submitted quote is not verbatim. A reliable crawl of the page shows the first paragraph matches, while in the second paragraph an extra sentence beginning “As the journalist Andrew Marr said...” appears between the AGI/superintelligence sentence and “Both these singularities could have wonderful consequences...”. Because that omission is unmarked, the submitted text is materially altered. ([calumchace.com](https://calumchace.com/about/?utm_source=openai))

AI Unverifiable
The source URL (calumchace.com) returned HTTP 403 Forbidden and could not be fetched. However, the quote is confirmed verbatim via web search results from Chace's own website and related pages: "The economic singularity can liberate us from wage slavery, and spark a second renaissance. But we will need a different form of capitalism – fully automated luxury capitalism – to achieve the economy of abundance." Vote alignment is correct (for "AGI will create abundance" - Chace's whole thesis envisions economic abundance from AI/AGI). Year is null and not clearly pinned to a date on his evergreen about page. Marking ai_unverifiable since the source URL blocks AI fetching.
