You make some good points, I agree with most..

However, I think most jobs will be obsolete by the time AGI actually gets created. That's the biggest hurdle i have with the points you made.

I always hope we get to the point where UBI is standard, and you can “earn” additionally by making improvements to society around you based on whatever you enjoy doing.

I honestly would rather UBI be universally equal.. I can only see that going south in the end... like classes, yet again.

I could see a system of application to fund something out of budget, like a house expansion or literally anything outside of the funds.. I'm thinking post scarcity though, but until then, UBI + Minimal wage+ would be my answer for until post scarcity

Oh, you mean like jobs getting automated years before the intelligence explosion?

Hmm, yeah I didn't think too much about that 🤔. I guess something like UBI would help in that case (but wouldn't be sufficient once the AGI is created and moves to the ocean)? Or maybe philanthropy will still suffice (despite not being a zillion dollars)?

I suppose the most practical individual advice might be to buy stock (fractional shares for the expensive ones) for the companies most likely to automate your job. This is a kind of hedging strategy, (if they don't succeed, the stock goes down but you keep your job).
