But AGI would be way harder. It’s immediately deployable for very little investment and can replace basically any white collar job.
Capital has been an economic multiplier of human labor. AGI is more like flooding the market with infinite labor. There will be blood in the streets, at best.
Yes but it put people out of work by making the people more efficient. As did computers. AGI does not make people more efficient. Even if wealth accrued to the capital holders, it still drive a large demand for higher value human labor.
AGI is just more people. It’s infinite people in the labor market driving wages down to zero.
