No. 100% end. Not 90% as in there are still some unaugmented humans making medical decisions with the assistance of tools -- 100% gone. The specialized physicians go first, with the generalists following them a few months later.

I would love to see raw resources manufactured using only energy, but this is not Star Trek.

Or those who own the automation and the material resources will switch to a smaller, less inclusive economic system.
True wealth is resources, manufacturing capacity, and knowledge. Most of those left unemployed will have none of the above.

Same. I'd love to have a nice stretch of land on Mars where I live with my Android imouto and use drones to create a giant biome dome over a crater or ravine.Or better yet terraform a lava tube and work on genetically engineering different life forms.

447 km/s. Still too slow. I would ask an AGI to help us invent superluminal drives.

Some people will still believe that AI should not be given the diagnosis of patients. Because no matter how it improves and develops, "mistakes will creep into it, or there will be from beginning, costing patients lives."
I put forward a counter question to this thesis: "If it does not fit, then what is better? Human doctors also make mistakes more than once, which costs people their lives."

Physician and other medical generalists as a profession is permanently coming to an end. For a few years it'll be nurses and specialist techs doing the tasks an AI assigns, then robotics catches up. But the 'unaugmented humans make any medical decisions, even for themselves' era is coming to an end.

All the excess humans will just sleep themselves to death.
It's honestly what most memes say that they want.
But I swear, then they will wake up after a series of fever dreams when their subconsciousness has finally caught up to the weird and wild life conditions that they are in. And then some will probably just do expressive dance, others might start entertaining themselves.

I work now to get training on integrated devices and see myself as an engineer in some years. If I didn't have to maintain my money, I would still have to prove my academic degrees. In fact my spending is optimized so that I have 0,00€ at the end of each month.
If the world was finally automatized and I could just live, I wouldn't change a thing except do sports and arts projects more often.
I honestly hope that I become obsolete during my lifetime, because that would mean engineers as a total have won the game.
My plan for retirement now is that when I am too old to focus on anything anymore, I will save up to buy a boat, probably a tug boat.
Then get some people to join me to go collect plastic from the garbage patches on the pacific ocean. Idk what to do with the plastic, but probably recycle it into granulate.
It's going to be old fuckin' people with all sorts of diseases and mental dysfuncitonality playing One Piece, fighting ocean pollution. If my genetical profile holds true to my family, I'll develop Alzheimers disease at about 90, so I'll have about 12 years time to control a boat. Unless of course somebody finds a cure, which looks promising.

Businesses already pay employees. When they don't have employees they can pay that same amount of money directly into a UBI. Businesses can't exist without summertime buying their product so the government will quickly start instituting UBI, just like they did during the pandemic.

Yes, but the work we'll do will be fundamentally different. One summer I'll build a garden. That winter I'll learn carpentry and build a chair. Since I don't have to use my carpentry to survive I can do things which interest me and when I'm bored of it I can move into something else. We will definitely DO things but we'll do them because we want to and they make us happy rather than because someone is forcing us to on pain of death.

Do I have access to an ASI? If I don't then I would spend time trying to build one. Of course I'd spend most time family, friends, life. but for job replacement I'd focus on AI R&D

Do you think the alignment problem can be solved by making the first thing the AI trains on be books like 'The Culture' and other works of fiction?
So the AI builds it's moral base off stories of AI in the world - like human's built their moral base off of religion?

AGI is B2B rather than B2C, so there is no direct business opportunity for individuals to earn money from it.

Until the ASI loads us up with nanobots that keep everything "perfect". It's weird to think that (much) more likely than not this is happening in my lifetime which then stretches out as far as I'd like. When I turned 40 (I'm 44 now) that was really hard for me. I'd get really depressed around my birthday each year. Last year I started to become convinced that my life will extend for a very long time and this year I'm certain of it. Birthdays seem meaningless. I'm falling into the trap of EVERYTHING at the moment seeming trivial though. With the changes I anticipate over the next few years and decade my day to day is starting to feel extremely pointless.
