Sorry, I said that wrong. Also, the human is strictly overhead. There’s no reason to expect we’d necessarily be better than an expert system at owning and managing expert systems.
What they’re computing in the first place, I have no idea. I think the assumption is that there’ll be a computing-based economy of any kind, not necessarily what the specifics of it are. And data mining is already an enormous industry, for instance.
I think somebody forgot to have something to protect! Is this Hanson’s actual idea or your idea of the consequences. Frankly I expect an energy-and-matter based economy.
Had heard ‘and that’s why you don’t run future supertech on captialism’ and previously heard about Hanson being strictly libertarian possibly in a bad way, so thought that he was somehow accepting of this stuff.
I am not very confident I’m accurately representing his position. Really, I’m hoping somebody’ll correct me if I’m too far offbase. Grain of salt, go read his posts on the topic, etc etc.

This is a positive prediction, not a normative one.
