>- 'Automation will lead to immediate devaluation of human labor that is routine. Society needs to decouple a person's "worth" from their "utility as a tool".'

I have this vision that in absence of the ability for people to form social hierarchies on the back of their economic value to society, there will be this AI fueled class hierarchy of people's general social ability. So rather than money determining your neighborhood, your ability to not be violent or crazy does.

If we have post scarcity due to AI, everything becomes so uncertain. Why would we still have violent and crazy people? Surely the ASI could figure it out and fix whatever is going on in their brains. It's so fuzzy after that event horizon I have no confidence in any predictions.

There are easy fixes to get rid of violent and crazy people. Why would a powerful ASI bother with fixing them? A rabid dog just gets put down by humans. Why would we expect anything better of our overlords?

Why are some people able to bear suffering whereas others go bonkers? Or what if the only source of happiness of some of those crazy people is domination of other people and exclusivity of social hierarchies? How would AI fix that?

Well at least in some cases the scale of suffering between the bonkers and the ones bearing it might be significantly different.

This seems to suggest a single dimensional evaluation. The complexity of social compatibility is high and the potential capacity to evaluate could also be greater.

I'm terrified at the idea that society will select the crazies and the violent instead. I wonder why I think that

My real personal "doom" theory is that AI will, err, remove 99.99% of humans, pretty much everyone except for the top 100,000 based whatever fractally complex metric scheme it deems important.

Then those 100,000 get a utopia, the AI gets everything else, and ultimately the humans are just nice pets.
