Yeah, the future described in this post isn’t particuarly “weird”, per se, it’s just using the assumption that every technology that has been hypothetically proposed for the future will be created by ASI soon after AGI arrives.
I think the future will be a lot more unpredictable than this. Analolgously, I can imagine someone from 1965 being very confused about a future where immensely powerful computers can fit in your pocket, but human spaceflight had gone no further than the moon. It’s very hard to predict in advance the constraints and shortcomings of future technology, or the practical and logistical factors that affect what is achieved.
