If a business can hire an AGI that doesnt need fair wages and can keep up with or even outpace the intelligence of a human, why would companies not switch to that? Obviously the current generations of AI have not capped out, but that doesn’t matter. We have enough already to build the next one, and the next one, and so on. Furthermore, how would a post-labor economy not bring about a post-consumer market? A collapse in the job market means a collapse in the consumer market. A collapse in the consumer market means permanent underclass for the majority of the human species. And I understand the argument that advancing AI means a transformed job market and not the obliteration of the job market, but I’d like to push back on that a bit. That is temporary. Like i said, the current tech stack can and will be used to build the next generation- it already has been used that way. Those jobs will be transformed while AI is still AI, and on the road to AGI they will become more irrelevant. and when ASI is created, what could you possibly do alongside AI that it can’t do for itself? I ask this question sincerely, and i would like authentic responses. This is something deeply troubling to me. submitted by /u/fetalferal
