I can't even ride a bike so I got AGI'd about a decade ago

Yeah this idea that the unique value proposition of humans is now our motor capabilities rather than our cognition is unnerving as someone with dyspraxia. Like, oh good, they've figured out how to convert it into a much more limiting disability by commoditising apparently most knowledge work. Great.

If all the AI booster dreams come true with nothing slowing them down, the value proposition for an average human will change to, in this order:

1. At least humans can still do highly specialized physical work

2. At least humans are cheap to run on low-value hard labor tasks

3. At least humans are desperate and highly expendable, in some types of work it's cheaper to 'use one up' and replace them with another than to run and constantly repair robots

4. Humans are useless for all work and therefore have no value

		> "4. Humans are useless for all work and therefore have no value" The part that worries me is when some clown with way too much money and power and time on their hands accidentally really does tip a machine over into AGI and the machines figure this little detail out for themselves... You want "Terminator IRL"? Because that's how you get "Terminator / SkyNet IRL"... Maybe we can live-stream it all on Pay-Per-View once it starts, to make the ultra-rich idiots who ended us all just a little bit richer before the end, as I'm pretty sure some folks out there actually would pay to watch live-stream feeds of the ensuing apocalypse right up until the machines come to kick their door in too.
