> Now, we live in a time in which AI research and technology is advancing exponentially. In the coming years, AI - and ultimately AGI - has the potential to drive one of the greatest social, economic and scientific transformations in history.

I'm not an AI Doomer, but is there some kind of scenario where the coming of AGI doesn't trigger a communist revolution and a lot of death and destruction along the way? I dunno, maybe it could be a Fabian revolution, but seems pretty unlikely. Seems more like AGI → everyone is pissed off that they still have to work for a living → a lot of rich people with heads on pikes. Is there some other scenario that's more likely? Doesn't feel that way to me. Then again, I'm the creator of https://bellriots.netlify.app/, so maybe I'm a Revolution Doomer.




It'll get a lot of people off the internet, and wreck the lives of those who stay addicted.
