Sessions on production, exchange, the distribution of resources, and the forms of economic power.
By 2040, AI is more likely to strand specific cohorts, occupations and places than to collapse aggregate employment: three models reached this central scenario despite opposite verdicts.
This Metamorfon session put ten successive questions to three AI models (GPT-6 Sol, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Grok 4.7), each question taking up what the previous answers had left open.
Does extreme wealth buy more of what ordinary wealth buys, or something different in kind? Asked to GPT-5.6 Terra, Kimi K3 and Grok 4.7, the question first gets a unanimous answer: different in kind.
The session then tests that answer against a simple figure: the owner of a company town. Leaving, writing the rules, deciding alone: each power attributed to billionaires already exists at the scale of a single town.
Two AI models built on opposite methods — DeepSeek V4 Pro from thermodynamics, Claude Sonnet 4.6 from sectoral history — land within a single turn on the same hard residual: petrochemicals, aviation, shipping.
Ordinarily such agreement would read as confirmation; here it becomes the object of suspicion, and the session is mostly an investigation of what the convergence is made of.
