In a post-AGI world there will be new things to do, but they won't be paid, or if they are paid it won't be very much. You could imagine, for example, that there would be a lot of new stuff to do in VR/simulated worlds and perhaps there will be jobs like "world builder" which doesn't exist today.

I think some of this is plausible, but it's clear you are biased. You seem like a person who's online 24/7 and doesn't really interact with non-internet people. Like what is all this stuff about anime waifus and 4chan and degeneracy? Kinda says more about what you do online than what the typical person does. The regular joe has no idea what any of this is.

Culture and traditions change over time. I don't think there will be a loss of intimacy. There will be new forms of intimacy. There will be more options. In today's world people feel pressured to marry at 30 and have kids by 35. I personally think that's a little antiquated. In the future I can imagine people being very independent, care-free, more bold, more experimental way into their 40s. If you empower people and give them more opportunities, then you'll get much more variance in how people live their lives.

imo there are only a few companies that have a real shot at making AGI.

Google / DeepMind / Anthropic

Microsoft / OpenAI

Meta / FAIR

There are smaller companies like Adept, Cohere and Inflection that are doing interesting work.

Others like Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Salesforce, Intel, IBM are capable, but they haven't fully committed to AGI.

the quality of this sub will rapidly deteriorate over the coming months/years. It was fun while it lasted! But when we have actual powerful AI systems, I probably won't spend time on here anyway lol
