chuckles We have a saying in Portugal: "If my grandma had wheels, she would be a truck."
I leave it up to you to figure it out.

In your future, when does it stop costing $500 to buy 32GB of DDR5? Or are the companies still leasing us the compute?

In twenty years, humans need not apply.

That’s what you object to? I’d be surprised if RAM weren’t cheap again in 2-4 years. It takes time to build factories, but it’s not that bad.
On the other hand, construction getting cheaper seems very unlikely.

No we won't or no it won't. Pretty much to all of this.
This is not optimism, it's delusional.

Personally I think that the world needs more of your optimism. But what does your crystal ball say about energy costs and political stability?
It’s one thing to say that AI will help everyone create immersive games, but skyscrapers won’t be free unless energy is free. Do you also assume that AI will solve fusion?
What happens to the individuals who are not “strong” and how do they hold onto their remote work jobs? Why will the biomedical research technology you’re positing not be used to create biological weapons, or do you assume that AI also creates universal peace and harmony? If so, how does it do that while also preserving our ability to have our own ideas and disagree with each other?
If we want the great future you’re imagining, I think history teaches that we need to give at least as much attention to these questions as we do to making the technology work.

That's not optimism, that's a dystopia - a world where most humans simply exist, with no meaning. Doing remote work on the road seems pointless as there's no work to be done anymore (also rest of the world has trains already to allow that).
