Don't you ever get up at 8AM and think "ugh not again"? Surely you're not a fan of the 40h work week? I totally agree with everything else and also find it scary, but defending work for the sake of it seems like the wrong angle to take. There will always be opportunities for productivity, regardless of whether that productivity is a requirement for food & shelter or not.

Of course I do, but at least I kind of chose a path that I kind of like. You are assuming that with a powerful AGI, we won't work 40h a week, but what if you'd still work as much, just to other positions that you don't like ? Do you think people in charge will give everyone leisure time, or do you think they'll want to keep extracting as much value as possible from people ? I think the latter ;).

I am a creative independent and I certainly don't work 40h a week...more like 10, but I'm very happy with creating things and I would be very sad if AI took my job away. I hope AI burns.
