Gary Economics wants to have a word with you.
It would be fun to get to post-work society, but hard to imagine atm. TPTB won't let it happen

But how this transition will even happen?
Soon we will have some machines that can replace 50% of jobs, and this will happen basically overnight...
The steam engine replaced a lot of jobs. Tractors replaced a lot of jobs. Calculators replaced a lot of jobs. Computer used to be a job description before it was a personal device. There will be new jobs.
Entire towns got decimated when their jobs went away, such people fill their lives in drugs and vote for politicians who promise to bring back jobs.
Isn't the point of AGI that it can basically do any job?
It won't happen though
Come on, Gary is compulsive liar with zero credibility and really shitty takes. He’s entertaining though.
Good take, I think his view is a bit simplistic. Also he also have a huge ego
"I am the best economist in UK!"
Gary is not a voice worth listening to. A narcissist, fraud and has terrible epistemics.
