Ask HN: What does a post AGI economy look like? I know this is a question that has been asked and pondered a thousand times over, but it’s still something I can’t wrap my head around. If our ability to think becomes useless (in the economic sense at least), then how does an economy even function if the price of knowledge and mental labor basically becomes free? If everyone switches to a physical job then the value of those jobs plummet as well, especially as robotics get better, we get better training via AI, etc. UBI is proposed as a solution, but our resources are still scarce, so how would you even decide allocation if everyone has the same amount of cash? |
