I believe marginal utility simply means that automation will reduce the cost of many things to negligible, meaning our resources will be free to spend on other domains that are by definition not automated and still labor intensive.
At the point there is no such job, we’ll have, also by definition, achieved radical abundance at which point being jobless doesn’t matter.
Wouldn’t a UBI then artificially prop up the current economy to the detriment of achieving radical abundance? Because it would be paid for via a tax of some kind on these “so abundant it’s free” goods and keep them from becoming....so abundant they’re free, no?
Of all the things AGI concerns me about, losing my job is by far the least of my worries.
