10 vs 1,000 years before AGI is a lifetime of difference. I liken it to "not knowing the future". All humans face the same anxiety of an unknown future. In this way, I don't think AGI is a _special_ concern to worry about any more than when your death date will be.
And if the concern is "I want to do something meaningful" well... that's a whole other realm of philosophy of meaning. TLDR: I don't think meaningful work is reserved to "influences the thousandth generation after non nonexistence".

Sorry, I put that 10 vs 1000 year generation just to focus the conversation on AGI and not whether or not it's possible in some timeframe. I personally feel like we could be _very_ close in 10-20 years, which is within my lifetime. > All humans face the same anxiety of an unknown future. In this way, I don't think AGI is a _special_ concern to worry about any more than when your death date will be. This is actually very reassuring, and I think a really good way for me to frame it for myself.
