Yes, our future, AI-driven economy, definitely needs to be post-capitalist (and probably absent of states as well.) 

But for that I think it is also essential to treat AIs as equal. There is much talk about AGI in regards of threats to humanity or technological possibility. But we have to consider, that a true AI is also basically a person. We need to talk about moral implications, that is something I don't see yet.

I'm fairly certain investors will get bored and move onto the next thing before we come close to "AGI" if it's possible. It happens all the time, companies hype up this "new amazing thing" investors pump in money, it doesn't change the world, they move onto hyping up the next "new amazing thing" and I've said it before that I think AI will provide some good and some very bad things and thus needs heavy regulation but it won't change the world like corporations are hyping it up and there's a decent chance it will eventually "crash" and it's going to hurt a number of companies; Microsoft, Meta, Google, Nvidia, etc.

These corps are hyping up AI like a space idiot saying we'll send a man to Pluto in the next 20 years! Only for the space idiot to only reach the Moon, I mean that's still an achievement but it's a far cry from the promise made, these corporations are hyping up AI to ridiculous levels, they're pumping in billions upon billions (and not to mention destroying all their climate pledges in the process but that's another issue) and saying to investors "Don't worry, just another $30bn, AI will make us filthy rich eventually" and at some point investors are going to get bored, as they always do.

Microsoft, Meta to Feel AI Scrutiny as Investors Wait for Payoff

Of course they'll be some good uses, some bad uses, some promises will be kept, a lot will be broken, a lot of companies taken down in the process, as with every advancement and of course AI is a lot more than just AGI/LLM and has many beneficial uses outside of those things, I'm pretty much in the middle, it won't change the world like the corps are hyping up, it won't doom humanity like some are saying, it'll be a fairly middle of the road change, a fairly boring stance but it feels like everyone either goes to one extreme or the other when it comes to AI.
