I expect there is going to be a crisis of finding meaning. As much as we like to rid ourselves of "work", struggle is also a part of human experience in which we find value. Furthermore, AI will not contain itself to only jobs. Its impacts will be broad into society itself and what we do recreationally. For something that explores these concepts and possibilities much deeper, I've written extensively on this subject at the following - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-end-to-all-things

To parrot Elon M after I say A.I. is only the beginning to extending consciousness to the stars and understand the Universe, all that is out there we may at this stage only know five percent.

  I think the issue is that such contemplations are taking a very large leap forward over a moat that we don't know yet how to cross. The moat being, assuming we could create a "safe" ASI, the transition from where we are now moving forward to that point without essentially destroying ourselves. Even the primitive AI that we have now is looking like it will bring about potential severe issues with verifiable reality and trust. That is likely an untenable existence for stable social order.

    There is a saying in the military. When you get there you then figure out how to cross the gap. I know A.I. I don't care to know ASI or AGI because snake-oil marketecture.

Nice link. Finding "the meaning of life" is often distracted by the heavy burden put by survival. When we don't have to work there will be a hard time picking up this old philosophical question.

  Study sample populations of super rich early retirees, or ordinary Fortran/Lisp/Cobol programmer retirees. The meaning of life question is unproductive anti-social navel gazing.
