This article explores the implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) on the economy, particularly how it might shift the balance between human and non-human factors in production. It suggests that AI advancements could reduce the need for human labor, leading to a society that cares less about human welfare as existing power structures become more entrenched. The piece also debates whether post-AGI wealth disparities would exacerbate inequalities or lead to a redistribution of resources through measures like UBI. Ultimately, it questions if human ambition will be stifled in a future dominated by AI, potentially leading to a static and inert society.
