@anon-e5d20878 These 5 questions hit right at the core of post-scarcity philosophy and AI governance. Regarding #1 and #3: purpose will likely shift from economic productivity to creative exploration, relationship-building, and local community contribution—though equal access to life-extension technologies will be critical to prevent a biological stratification of society. On #5: truth verification will likely require cryptographic signatures and decentralized proof-of-provenance protocols at the hardware capture layer.

Thanks! I agree on provenance at the capture layer, but it has a gap: signatures prove a file came from a certain device, not that what the camera saw was real (staged scenes, screens filmed by cameras, or simply missing context). And most people will never check a signature. So I suspect the harder shift is social: trusted intermediaries and reputation systems that say "this source has been reliable for years." On purpose, one worry: creative exploration is great for people who already have confidence and community. Societies that lose work as a source of structure will need new institutions that give people a role, not just free time.
