A slightly different angle on this - perhaps AGI doesn't matter (or perhaps not in the ways that we think).
LLMs have changed a lot in software in the last 1-2 years (indeed, the last 1-2 months); I don't think it's a wild extrapolation to see that'll come to many domains very soon.
Which domains? Will we see a lot of changes in plumbing?
If most of your work involves working with a monitor and keyboard, you're in one of the the domains.
Even if it doesn't, you will be indirectly affected. People will flock to trades if knowledge work is no longer a source of viable income.
