AI & AGI have me kinda terrified because of how we worship the rights of ownership especially in America.
Some major company will own the AI/AGI and will have the right to all of the profits it generates. Combining AGI with the advancements of robotics, pretty much any job that could justify the expenditure of the robot and AGI will be eliminated. With how we treat the rights of ownership and with how the ownership class sees the rest of humanity, the only future I see is a future where "we have too many people" is the only conversation and not because we can't feed them or house them, but because there isn't enough work for them to "earn their own living." The ownership class will never accept "giving" anything away to help people that "aren't productive." You're not a human, you're a profit generating labor machine.
So: Work or Die!™ Now with 95% less jobs!
Fun future. :(
I've heard this called exterminism. Woe be to whichever proles they decide to keep as pets.
If you're young, you should be.
I'm not and I'm nearing the end of my professional career. Even if I get the sack tomorrow, I've had a very good run. And I have other skills that simply can't be replaced by AI or robots, so I'm not really worried. Concerned, yes. But not worried.
But I know I won't have any retirement, that's for damn sure. Still, it beats not having any professional prospects from the get-go.
