I think AGI is when a lot of human labor won't be needed, you don't need super intelligence to replace 90%+ of human labor.

Bruh what the hell
Hit that fool with a pie like a cartoon. That smile disappeared real quick
Where the fukk was his bodyguards lmaooooo
True. And ASI could happen rather quickly after AGI if its a fast takeoff scenario. I was just objecting his notion that AI wont be as impactful as the industrial revolution.
But in all seriousness you gotta fire your whole security staff after that imagine if buddy had that fire on em
ASI will likely lead to us re-engineering how we live. it doesn't matter what politicians say, if one country decides to go full speed ahead with deploying ideas and inventions by an ASI that significantly improves the lives of people within said country, people will mass migrate if allowed and other countries will change their stance or become less relevant.

This man been wealthy for decades. No real perception on how Earth people live day to day.
Majority of the countries minimum wage is still $7
Unless there is UBI included with the robots, there will be anarchy.

Are u going to get paid for the other 2 days?
Are they going to change rent/mortgage , food prices, utilities etc to match a 3 day work week

Interesting take. I could see more collectivist societies like China and South Korea implementing ideas from ASI that benefit society as a whole.
If AGI or even ASI is acheived food prices and utilities (due to energy abundance) should drop dramatically.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
This is a John Maynard Keynes idea. I worry about purpose in a world without work, especially as we are clearly seeking to automate creativity. But the upsides to AI revolution are world changing in a positive way, if we can do it in an orderly fashion...(I know 
).
If you think about it, slaving away at something you're not only not interested in, but that can be soul-crushing for 40+ years of your existence is no way to truly live your life. Preagriculture age, life was harsh, but we could spend a few hours scrounging for food and then just chill the rest of the day. Imagine having most of the day to yourself like the pre-ag age, but the technology of the AI revolution. You'll have time for family, friends, interests...I just hope we still have purpose. And I hope it doesn't turn into a tool for malevolence by the elite or terrorists...(again I know...)
