Raw LLM Responses

Yup. Even in the very best scenario where we build superintelligent AI and nothing goes wrong on a technical level, how slow or fast the transition phase is makes \*all\* the difference. If we get recursive self-improvement on the timescale of days or weeks and everyone loses their jobs pretty much at the same time, then we have a shot at emergency-overhauling the system into some kind of ubi. If instead jobs are replaced slowly one-by-one, industry after industry, on a timescale of years, then the transition period will be immensely painful, filled with half-hearted political posturing that doesn't really help anyone. People will lose their livelihoods, their homes, their ability to feed themselves until eventually we reach a critical mass of poverty that can't be ignored. I'm not looking forward to it.
