A LessWrong post proposes a preemptive implementation of socialism before the advent of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). The author suggests that humanity should transfer control of capital to the state just prior to reaching ASI, and then cede that control to the ASI itself. This ASI would then be tasked with ensuring a good and equitable life for all humans, potentially using market mechanisms or other tools as it sees fit, but with the primary goal of universal well-being rather than profit maximization. The author acknowledges the plan is underdeveloped but argues it is a preferable alternative to a future where capital ownership dictates control over galactic resources and politics. AI
