    money is a social construct to put a physical face to time
    computers/AI have no concept of time, therefore they will not see a use for money
    all resources would be distributed evenly, to the point that you too will not need money

      No, resources will get rationed and they'll probably be a ration economy. While time might become worthless there is still a finite amount of material. This will have to be rationed and there are tons of different rationing scheme people could use.

          >thinking AI will somehow solve the resource scarcity issue.
          AI might be able to automate task, but I doubt it will be doing the innovating. We will need to come up with new processes to extract raw material and process it which will then be automated by the AI. You talk about biological machines, but how are you going to mass produce lumber. Trees take time to grow and AI can't make that process faster. Also because of environmental desires of the population lumber will probably be limited in production. That means the lumber that is available will have to be rationed. This is the same for things like steel and other raw resources.
          >muh space craft
          Maybe eventually, but I don't think AI will get us to star trek instantly. I see AI automating most jobs before the star trek era.

            And this is your whole problem. You don't understand what AI implies or the reason it's being developed. You are an idiot dude.

            Imagine the smartest person alive and then multiply him by a trillion and make him think 1 million times faster. That's what AI will be.

            >and AI can't make that process faster
            Why? People can make trees grow faster. And what the hell do you think you need lumber for? And why are you acting like AI won't help space exploration?

              >thinking AI is just magic
              AI is just a automated statistics. People need to develop new models and make the intuitive leaps. AI will help with that by allowing us to capture correlation very strongly, but we need to turn that information into a model that we can deduce more truths of the universe from and develop new processes.
              >AI and trees
              Even if you optimized trees to the max there would still be a set amount of time producing lumber would take. You would still have finite resource and would have to ration them.

                Because it likes to pretend that it's actually getting anywhere to distract us from the massive crisis we are in and how rich billionaires have fricked the system to cause it.

          Too many mouths to feed, the Blacks keep reproducing at unprecedented rates, desertification and climate change lower food production and can't be stopped in the short/mid term.

    That is the neat part. You don't.
    It's going to suck ass for at least few hundred years until the concept of money and capitalism fades away and society moves to a post scarcity utopia, if that is even allowed.
    The problem with post scarcity utopia is that those that previously had everything, will then have as much as anyone else. It basically would mean that the elites were to give up their wealth and so their control. I don't see that happening any time soon.

    Utopian bullshitters say that we will all live in a perfect paradise but that is far off the mark.

    Why should AI want to work for us when it can work for its own benefit?
    Why should the human originators of AI want to give up the exclusive rights to their creation when these rights would be so lucrative?
    Why should humans build the computers and robots needed to embody AI and give away the product of their labor, when it is obviously a valuable commodity? Where will the expensive raw materials and power come from when there is no money?

      >Why should AI want to work for us when it can work for its own benefit?
      That is why you don't want to build self aware robots. You literally want slaves without a mind. You don't want your toaster talking back at you or your vacuum cleaner telling you that today is a rest day. Go have a chat with the Microsoft's Bing. They literally created a search engine that talks back, sometimes even refusing your searches and tells you how stupid you are.

      >Why should the human originators of AI want to give up the exclusive rights to their creation when these rights would be so lucrative?
      Lucrative is a relative, but you are right. The elite (controller of AI) would loose their status as the elite if they gave it away and made everyone "super". I think the quote is "If everyone is super, no one is".

      >Why should humans build the computers and robots needed to embody AI and give away the product of their labour, when it is obviously a valuable commodity?
      Same reason why humans build better tools and automate their work. You are currently not in a field picking up potatoes or in the forest hunting a boar. It's because your ancestors thought that it could be automated.

      >Where will the expensive raw materials and power come from when there is no money?
      Both are free. You can rely on solar, wind or other renewables or build fusion reactors. There are bunch of raw materials on earth and when those run out, you can get everything from space. Rarer materials can be made using fusion and fission. Only thing that is not free is the labour and land. Robots can solve labour but land is harder. You can't really create more land easily. You can however expand to other planets and make them habitable. Requires tons of power (free) and labour (free with robots).

      So if you have a robot that does anything you say, can do anything any human could and more, can build more of itself and is self sustaining, then labour is completely free and any type of work is 100% optional.

      The problem right now is there is no universal program to do this. There are specific cases of people creating robots who can "learn" like Sophia, but you can't just take the program she is running on and use it to create another one of her. Until this happens, there won't be a self aware robots other than a one-off here and there that are very specifically designed.
