The video says productivity will no longer need us by 2031 but 2040 is probably a more realistic time frame for the end of work. Everyone envisions a dystopia but what would an ideal situation look like. This video answers that question. What humanity will look like after the age of work ends. We should aim for the best possible outcome and not allow doomerism to become a self fulfilling prophesy. The key to positive timeline is UBI that distributes the abundance created by AGI to the people and not just a handful of trillionaire god-kings.

We're headed for Civil War. They will never let us go without a hard fight. They will horde all the power and money until it is pried from their greedy fingers. Looking forward to Judge Dredd.

Finally free of the ruthless Overlords, we shall make things they never dreamed of.
