Nobody said anything about winner or losers.
To put it differently, if everyone is a winner that is not a problem, the problem is the trophies have to come out of somewhere, and if everyone can keep getting the next trophy, well then, we might run out of resources to keep making trophies.
It is in my view, the main problem with capitalism, sustainability. That is, unless we colonize the stars.

To put it plainly, if everyone is moving up, eventually, everyone is up. New wealth and resources would have to be continually and exponentially be used to allow for people's lifestyle's to keep improving.
That is of course if we continue to classify wealth and value the same way we do today.

Your system would need infinite expansion and resources for a chance to upwards mobility to everyone.

Resources not for "us" but for whoever owns the robots.

Sorry, we only had to make one black box, which made another like itself, and so on and so forth.
You can apply for UBI depending on your region and social credit points.
Alternatively, maybe it's time to think about our asssisted DeepsleepĀ®, it's free and also the best you can do for the enviroment!

I'd just build a cellar.

Personal field that heats up when it's cold and vice versa, protects me from rain, wind and insects and that also can become opaque and allow for privacy.
Then I'd live in my forest.

Bought some land with water springs, lots of deer and an abandoned mine.
I should be alright for a while.
