If TAI arrives soon, either I’ll be dead (so I should borrow and spend all my money now—this part makes sense to me) or I’ll be fantastically rich in a post-TAI utopia
Personally, I’d expect some actors to be really greedy. In the upside scenarios, they’d want to be 100x fantastically rich, not just 2x.
There haven’t been many historic examples where the wealthy / governments didn’t try to take advantage of big opportunities just because things were so good. Instead, when new resources opened up, some would rush to take as big a share as possible.
