Because in a competitive environment which _requires_ exponential
economic growth you get all the problems we are facing today. You just
ignore technological unemployment and social asymmetries that get bigger
and bigger. Today only a few people benefit from robots/AI and millions
suffer because this socioeconomic framework does not provide them with
the necessities of life once their job is no longer required to due
higher efficiency/automation. Do you suggest that all the millions of
people working at McDonalds will find new jobs in AGI R&D? Why do the
most intelligent people on this planet have such a hard time to think
outside the box when it comes to economics?

their work for them, and the economic growth, freedom, and improved
