The electricity aspect has always been one I wish AI skeptics/critics wouldn’t lean on so much, because it seems like the one most likely to be solveable. I think we should be focusing on the economic aspects instead - if all this pans out as boosters promise, how does our economy exist when all white collar jobs go away? Who buys all the stuff, with what money?

I'm less concerned about the economy more concerned about social stability

When people can't buy the stuff because they have no money, how do we stop the bloodbath that follows?
