“Capitalists will end capitalism with AI”, say many.

I agree. It’s because of the fonts we use. Let’s end capitalism and just write it as “ai”.

Ok, for real:

I don’t quite agree. But capitalism is a solution to or strategy for or framework of scarcity, and scarcity will get ever less relevant.

In the political sense it’s also understood as a relationship model between the powerful and labor. And human labor will go to zero, and power will delaminate from human labor. So the universe over which capitalism will operate will be quite removed from its current scope of affairs.
