A slightly different angle on this - perhaps AGI doesn't matter (or perhaps not in the ways that we think).

LLMs have changed a lot in software in the last 1-2 years (indeed, the last 1-2 months); I don't think it's a wild extrapolation to see that'll come to many domains very soon.

Which domains? Will we see a lot of changes in plumbing?

Even if it doesn't, you will be indirectly affected. People will flock to trades if knowledge work is no longer a source of viable income.
