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.

    WTF, care to explain what AGI even is?

    Not everybody lives in your reality bubble.

    • You could just Google it. AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. It’s not the type of Ai that we have today.

      There’s a great book about the pros and cons of AGI called “Superintelligence” by Nick Bostrom that I’d recommend reading if you have any interest in the topic.

        Yeah I know I an google it. But at the same time, I could expect that in a general community people take care to contextualize what they write about.
