Reddit discusses AGI/ASI's challenge in creating abundance due to private ownership

A discussion on Reddit explores the challenge of achieving universal abundance through Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) given the current private ownership of resources and production facilities. The core issue raised is how an ASI's decisions to create widespread wealth would be enforced if it cannot override existing private property rights. Furthermore, the ownership of advanced AI models themselves, including those approaching AGI or ASI, is seen as a potential bottleneck, as their use would likely be controlled by their private owners.
