my post-scarcity techno-utopian material-culture-accumulation preference 
would be pipelines of feedstocks of undifferentiated atomic elements 
(carbon, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, iron (and molecular ammonia too?)) 
and matter assemblers on the scale of a microwave or refrigerator (or 
garage) to configure whatever material-culture items my whims demand of 
them.   Stephenson's /Diamond Age/.

Human "designers" may still be required (or valued) for the step of 
distinguishing amongst the leaves of arbitrarily complex possibility 
bushes to yield "interesting" ones (in the sense of what an artisan once 
did to translate generic concepts like "shoe" or "cooking pot" or 
"sailing schooner" into the specific and relevant instantiations of 
use/interest to the "customers".

Edge located decompilers would replace trashcans, dumpsters, recycle 
bins, landfills and salvage yards and would circularize material 
economies at all scales?   We can all have Bezos/Zuck class (green 
ammonia-powered) mega-yachts with helicopters even if we have to take 
turns docking at valued locations?  Or play demolition derby with them 
as we vie for the scarce docking spaces? (Occupy Coastlines!)

That would be oldSkool ideation... newSkool might be home-built (or 
neighborhood scale) space elevators to build minecraft-designed space 
platforms out of gathered defunct starlink satellites (and other 
space-junk), forming planet-shading scale structures that relieve global 
warming while establishing a dyson-sphere patchwork of habitats.   
(Occupy GeoSync Orbit!)

Or...    (stop me now!)
