MODERATE COPE
Tony Robbins and Ray Kurzweil deliver a classic augmentation-fantasy cope: 'you're not going to be replaced by an AI, you'll be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI.' Kurzweil acknowledges some job displacement (100,000 jobs, AI blamed) but frames it as temporary disruption that will resolve through automatic wealth multiplication and eventual UBI. The core structural termination thesis is never engaged - they simply assert productivity gains will distribute automatically because 'the average amount of income... has multiplied by 10' over 100 years, treating historical growth as guarantee rather than confronting that AI fundamentally differs from prior automation in its capacity to eliminate aggregate human labor demand entirely.
