I buy you could get radical cultural changes. [...] But stuff as big as in this story feels unlikely. Often culture changes radically bc the older generation dies off, but that won’t happen here.
Good point, but imo old peoples’ influence mostly wanes well before they die, as they become unemployed, out-of-touch, and isolated from the levers of cultural production and power. Which is what we’re saying will happen to almost all humans, too.
Another way that culture changes radically is through mass immigration, which will also effectively happen as people spend more time interacting with effectively more-numerous AIs.
