The elephant in the room with these singularity predictions is that for people to actually work less and enjoy superabundance (instead of falling into new bullshit jobs and still struggle to make ends meet), you need AI companies to resign at least some of their huge profit margins, peacefully or forcefully.

there is no moat.

most of the recoverable margin is self-determined, in that people will need to base their vocation in self-hosted tech that leverages low-rivalry, subsistent commons.

the last jobs to disappear will be general contractors that scale the subsistent commons.
