Most people worry about AI going wrong. Bostrom flips the question: what if it goes *right*?
What if AI actually solves everything — disease, scarcity, work itself? What if there's literally nothing left that humans do better than machines?
This isn't sci-fi doom. It's a real philosophical problem. If machines handle everything, what's left for us? Purpose? Identity? The structure of an economy?
We spend so much time debating regulation and existential risk, but almost no time thinking through the implications of *success*. What does a world look like where human labor is obsolete and abundance is the default?
It's an uncomfortable question. And probably one we should be asking before we get there.
