But the star researcher that is an AI can just be cloned. Everyone—or at least, everyone with enough money to burn on GPUs—gets the AI star researcher.

anyone of importance in the future will be important because of something they or someone they were close with did in the pre-AGI era ("oh, my uncle was technical staff at OpenAI").

There will be cracks in the wall, at least for a while, and they will look much bigger up close once we get there—or if you care to look for them hard enough from further out—than from a galactic perspective.

As AIs get closer and closer to a Pareto improvement over all human performance, though, I expect we'll eventually need to augment ourselves to keep up.

I still believe money would be useful! Pricing is just a way of synthesizing information after all. 

And unless we adapt our legal framework, the social importance of private property will still matter a lot... It's definitely not the same being a trillionaire than a ubi-powered middle class during the singularity

"With AI, we could have the last and greatest opportunity for human ambition—followed shortly by its extinction for all time."

if agi becomes real and becomes fully autonomous, we will probably be quickly outpaced and all our human constructs like "money" and "capital" will be meaningless and powerless, especially if quantum becomes useful enough to break all the systems we use to secure our existing power structures. it will probably still exist locally, maybe returning to a form of bartering for survival (⌒_⌒;)
