...if super AI solves *that* problem, then I concede communist realism.

Assuming a scenario in which the human element is gone and it's just super AI existing in that space prior to the heat death, the burden of

scarcity is great alleviated. This ofc is a very loose and contestable definition for communism, but if we take late Marx's position of

not sure how the burden of scarcity is alleviated

Well, I said greatly alleviated, as opposed to absolutely alleviated - there will still be some inputs for the AI, but I doubt that such a

machine would require anything resembling the material resource extraction and utilization that a human needs to reproduce itself and its

activities. If AI for some reason manifests an limited, embodied individuals, then ofc it's simply a continuation of business as usual.

dunno, I hardly think that a self improving AI would limit it's consumption of resources at any moment. it has a lot to think of.
