Social engagement. There has always been a small segment of people able to make a life that way, but with the other two concerns out of the way it opens the floodgates.
This is the conclusion I've been coming around to as well.

This is the same with the move from mechanical to thinking. There was always a small segment of "thinkers" for everyone else, it was secondary to their mechanical abilities.
What has me thinking now is, if this is true, when we figure out how machines can be social, do we unlock another element of humanity which we don't recognize or appreciate yet?
We can legally own things. Maybe in the future, our income is derived from farming our AI servers. Just hook them into a broader network and allow people to hire them out for AI tasks. We just focus on building our bot army.
But you're not building that AI server from the chip level, you're buying it.
If most of the money is made from renting servers, the manufacturers will only rent servers. They have nothing to gain by cutting themselves out of the revenue stream and introducing a secondary market.
