This post is essentially talking about an issue that arises even without AI alignment, and that is relevant for capitalism, and the big issue is that AI will by default give people the ability to replace humans, making those humans essentially superfluous, and often it’s not good when a human has no leverage.
This post is a +4 for me, if only because this is the first good argument against something like a capitalist economic order surviving AGI for me, and importantly doesn’t ideologize like so many critiques of capitalism do.
Thanks! I’ve actually seen some more recent posts that got pretty popular outlining this same argument, so I guess I’m… happy… that it’s gaining some traction? However happy one can be to see the same prophecy of doom repeated and validated by other people who are just as unlikely to change the current trajectory of the world as me.
