It’s obvious that, since the mass of humanity could easily take everything from the rich through sheer disregard of the rules but don’t, that there must be a stable social reason. It seems to be the idea that working for a living is honorable, and the best at it can even become the new rich. This counterbalances the absurd desire of the wealthy to own everything. AI is going to work harder than anyone at anything, disrupting this balance. You’ll have no more economic power than you would have at Disneyland with no money. So the question is what happens when absolutely no one is needed to do “work” anymore.

its just stupid boids dynamics. why dont fish or sterlings crash into one another? because ultimately though they can at times see everything, they can only coordinate their immediate surroundings.

its not deeper than that.
