Maybe, I think it’s hard to say how captiolism would work if everyone had zero empathy or compassion.
But that doesn’t matter for the issue at hand.
Greed or empathy aside, capitalism currently works because people have capabilities that can’t be expanded without limit and people can’t be created quickly using capitol.
If ai labor can do every task for a thousandth the cost, and new lai labor created at need, we all die if competition is the system. We will be employed for zero tasks. The factor you mention, sub ASI systems, makes the situation worse, not better.
Maybe you’re saying we’d be employed for a while, which might be true. But in the limit, even an enhanced human is only going to have value as a novelty. Which ai probably won’t care about if it isn’t aligned at all. And even if it does, that leads to a few humans surviving as performing monkeys.
I just don’t see how else humans remain competitive with ever improving machines untethered to biology.
