>humanity who have lost their worth and purpose having been replaced by AI, at best becoming useless consumers who live off a stipend of UBI

NEETS leben diese lifestyle bereits seit jahren. deine zukunftsprognose macht mir keine angst. sie ist für mich und viele andere längst alltag. oder in anderen worten:

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

>neo feudalism
This makes no sense as humans are obsolete at every sector except owning the MOP.

>the second tier will be the ai safety regulators, the new bourgeoise
why would there exist ai safety regulators?

It will take a very long time for AI to replace humans in every task, and even if they did, there will be billions of people on earth, you need to give at least some of them a livelihood otherwise they will just attack the bourgeois in a human wave attack, if they know it's that or be exterminated

As long as the economic genocide is slow enough that the homeless can barely band together, it's all gopd

>>2924165
Well yeah, but that will mean they can't just fire everyone all at once, it needs to be gradual as you say. By the time there's no human jobs left, everyone but the bourgeois needs to be dead

>>2924089 Dude, climate change is going to destabilize so much of society that a tech future like this will become basically impossible outside of MAYBE a few northern areas. There will be no global AI dictatorship becuse no one regieme can rule the world. Not even capitalism as a system rules the world, just a large portion of it. By even 2075, the future of humanity's industrial production will probably be set back to the level of the late 1800s if we're being cautiously optimistic. This will provide us with both great losses and great opportunities, as the future always does. Doomerism is cringe.

Feudalism is obsolete

>>2924169
You're an idiot, you think everyone is going to be equally immisserated? The poor will die so that the rich can hoard the resources to build their AI dictatorships.

>>2924165
I don't think anyone will be able to plan any slow economic genocide with climate change. The future is going to be messy, chaotic, and unplanned.

They’re gonna just start offering 10k attention credits to people who voluntarily sterilize themselves

Doesn’t matter nobody except Chad is having sex anyway

commodity production is becoming unprofitable because automation causes SNLT to approach 0. the only way to keep capitalism afloat is with more and more state directed capitalism, subsidies, and deliberate destruction of surplus commodities through waste and warfare in a contrivance to raise prices. the exploiting class is turning increasingly back towards rent rather than profit as the primary form of exploitation. hence "neo feudal"

since you joke that all of this is "reddit" I will just say YES with my gigachad face on and send you this post from 2019 chapotraphouse I screenshotted.

Look at Software As A Service for example. It used to be you bought a software and owned it as a physical CD. Now you subscribe to a game and pay for it over and over as rent. You receive "free" updates that deliberately enshittify it and reduce its value to you over time, while paying the same fee over and over. This is somehow even worse than commodity production under early capitalism.

Anon exploitation by the ruling class requires that the exploited class reproduces itself. It does not matter whether the mode of production is "slavery" or "feudalism" or "capitalism" or "neofeudalism" or any other contrivance, you need an exploited class that outnumbers the exploiters and reproduces itself. Sterilization or genocide of the exploited class would constitute the biggest mistake the ruling class could possibly make. They would have to build their own bridges, pick their own crops, clean their own homes, etc. Either exploitation would finally end or, more likely, they would begin exploiting one another, as they always do in desperate times.

Peasants in Feudalism had more property and freedom than wagies do now. It gets annoying how feudalism is the scapegoat when this is just capitalism proletarianizing and utilitarianizing everything.

>>2924186 You're either illiterate or schizing out; where did I say that they will be equally harmed? They will all be affected in SOME way, and in different places it will vary. Some places will see revolution and some will see what you're describing. The whole point of what I'm saying is that it's variable between different circumstances with different material conditions. Saying that different material conditions across worlds' societies will result in the exact same uncomplicated black-and-white outcome displays a crippling inability to understand how politics and history works on even a basic level.

>>2924231 That's what I'm saying. I hate this idea that the future will be a neo-fuedal global tech hellscape which multiple people in this thread are promoting. Shit's gonna be an unpredictable mess.

>>2924328
well feudalism died because of enclsoure and industrialization. but now profit is dying because SNLT is too low. so you go back to rent, but the rent is of a new form. it is not feudal rent.

The Emerging Tiers
Based on current trajectories of wealth concentration, AI capability development, and labor
market disruption, the model proposed here anticipates the following class structure by the mid-2030s,
absent significant intervention:

Tier 1: Infrastructure Owners (approximately 1 percent). The individuals and entities who own
compute infrastructure, energy supply, foundational AI models, and critical data assets. Amodei notes
that Elon Musk’s current fortune (approximately $700 billion) already exceeds John D. Rockefeller’s
peak wealth as a share of GDP, and this is before the primary economic impact of AI Amodei (2026a).
He projects that AI companies could generate approximately $3 trillion in revenue per year, leading to
personal fortunes “well into the trillions” Amodei (2026a). Research confirms that AI adoption has
already contributed to increasing concentration of wealth among top income earners, while the bottom
50 percent has seen only marginal gains Aluko et al. (2026).

Tier 2: The Cognitive Bourgeoisie (approximately 5 percent). AI safety researchers, senior
engineers who direct AI systems, compliance professionals navigating competing regulatory regimes,
healthcare providers, educators, creative directors, and others whose work requires human judgment or
trust that AI cannot yet replicate. This class is economically comfortable but fundamentally precarious:
the AI capability frontier is constantly advancing into their domain. In economic terms, they are digital sharecroppers, productive and well-compensated but entirely dependent on Tier 1 for the tools and
platforms on which their work depends.

Tier 3: The Subsidized Majority (approximately 94 percent). Those whose labor has been
rendered economically unnecessary by AI. Under the best scenario, this class receives some form of
universal basic income, public services, and abundant cheap goods. Under the worst scenario, this
class subsists on whatever minimal provisions trickle down from an economy that no longer requires
their participation. In either case, their defining characteristic is political irrelevance: they have neither
the labor leverage nor the consumption leverage to compel the attention or accommodation of Tiers 1
and 2.

Feudalism died because of class tensions between the merchants and the aristocrats, with the merchants winning and looting the social surplus and accelerating entropy. Everything else is correct tho.
