It seems like a lot of professionals are thinking we will reach AGI within my lifetime. Some credible sources say within 5 years but who knows.

Either way I suspect it is inevitable. Who knows what may follow. Infinite wealth gap growth, mass job loss, post-work reforms, I’m not sure.

A bunch of questions bounce around in my head, examples may be:

  • Will private property rights be honored in said future?
  • Could Amish communities still exist?
  • Is it something we can prepare for as individuals?

I figured it is important to talk about seeing as it will likely occur in my lifetime and many of yours.

    If we don’t remove profit motives from the mix, all AGI will be used for is to create the torment nexus. Without the profit motive, I think that AGI would be a novelty at best, and useless at worst.
