CEOs and VCs promising a utopian vision with technology (for themselves), and almost always it is the opposite (a dystopia) for everyone else.
> Last question: Is it a “hard times, strong men/women, good times, weak men/women” thing, and our generation caught the end of the good times?
Given that absolutely no-one has a viable solution to the economic ramifications of job displacement with "AGI" (whatever that means) and only promising a copium utopia, what if there would never be a "good times" for people with jobs on this planet, except for zero-sum activities like gambling, speculation and the financialization of every single thing?
Because other than a roboticist, the only job(s) that will exist are the ones that humans will have no choice to do: to replace someone else's or work for the government to be a soldier to fight someone else's war, until governments build robots for wars.
