Honestly, I have no idea. I think we need to look to Hollywood for possible answers.
Maybe it means a Star Trek utopia of post-scarcity. Maybe it will be more like Elysium or Altered Carbon, where the super rich basically have anything they want at any time and the poor are restricted from access to the post-scarcity tools.
I guess an investment in an AGI moonshot is a hedge against the second possibility?
Post-scarcity is impossible because of positional goods. (ie, things that become more valuable not because they exist but because you have more of them than the other guy.)
Notice Star Trek writers forget they're supposed to be post scarcity like half the time, especially since Roddenberry isn't around to stop them from turning shows into generic millenial dramas. Like, Picard owns a vineyard or something? That's a rivalrous (limited) good, they don't have replicators for France.

This just turned dark real fast. I have seen all these shows/movies and just the idea of it coming true is cringe.
