lets say AI leads to an intelligence explosion and can do almost everything better than human. how will this capitalist system funcion?

the whole tax system is propped up by payroll taxes. ai agents won't be on payroll so there's going to be few taxes collected except when people sell their innvestments for income

and how will capitalism function? in the past you could argue that people got rich off the sweat of their brow and their own hard work. are capitalists going to argue that they're entitled to the sweat of the brow of the agents they tasked to a purpose?

what if a socialist decides he wants to undermine the capitalist economy, so he gets thousands of computers running agents and just sends them out into the capitalist economy to do work entirely for free and drive prices down to zero for many things? how would capitalism compete against someone, or a group of people that aren't motivated by profit and they're able to easily send out agents to act in the economy that will be producing output for reasons other than profit?

>lets say AI leads to an intelligence explosion

but it wont, because the purpose is tracking and tracing of diverse thoughts. the result will be a more compliant and much less intelligent population.
