I think that, if we assume that there’s a world in which (1) at least some humans own some capital in the post-AGI economy (hence rapidly exponentially growing wealth), (2) nobody is worried about expropriation or violence, and (3) humans have the knowledge and power to pass and enforce effective laws holding up human interests in regards to externalities (e.g. AGIs creating new exotic forms of lethal pollution while following the letter of the existing law, or building a Dyson swarm that blocks out the sun)…
…then that’s already pretty great! That would be far better than my baseline expectation.
I think that, if we assume (1-3), then the non-capital-owning humans have a great chance of doing OK too, via (A) charity from the fabulously-wealthy capital-owning humans, or through (B) political imposition of UBI (assuming democracy), or, like you said, (C) getting employed by the fabulously-wealthy capital-owning humans who specifically want to employ other humans (or selling ownerships rights to their posthumous skulls, ofc :) ).
Thanks! I basically agree.
