What do you think about reaching AGI? (en.m.wikipedia.org)

It seems like a lot of professionals are thinking we will reach AGI within my lifetime. Some credible sources say within 5 years but who knows.

Either way I suspect it is inevitable. Who knows what may follow. Infinite wealth gap growth, mass job loss, post-work reforms, I'm not sure.

A bunch of questions bounce around in my head, examples may be:

  • Will private property rights be honored in said future?
  • Could Amish communities still exist?
  • Is it something we can prepare for as individuals?

I figured it is important to talk about seeing as it will likely occur in my lifetime and many of yours.

@otacon239 I didn't know about the movie Waking Life, thanks for mentioning and recommending it! I just read about it (both on Wikipedia and IMDB) and it seems deep and well-written, particularly due to its references to "hard determinism". I'll try to watch it eventually (it's been a while since I've watched a movie, I've been leaning toward textual works).

    It is the first movie I recommend to virtually everyone when I get talking about movies. It’s a damn shame the BluRay was only in print for a short while copies go for $150+ these days if you can even find one for sale. Probably pretty easy to get on DVD though.
