AI And The Ongoing Collapse III: The Smart Person’s Guide to the End of Jobs

A Warning to Humanity: The Unchecked Rise of AGIAGI is not just another technological advancement—it is adeliberate economic upheavalbeing rushed into existencewithout safeguards.OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google are not building AGI to assist humanity;they are designing a system that replaces human labor while concentrating wealth and power in their hands.AGI as a Labor Replacement EngineOpenAI defines AGIby its ability to perform “economically valuable work” at human levels or beyond.This means AGI is explicitly built toreplace human labor.Deep Research, a new AI agent, already performs a “single-digit percentage” of global labor, worth trillions of dollars.AGI automates not just tasks, but thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making.Recursive self-improvement is beginning—once AGI enhances itself, human labor becomes obsolete.There isno transition plan—only vague claims that "new jobs will be created." But AGI doesn’t just change jobs;it eliminates the need for human work itself.Who Controls the Wealth?AGI’s economic valueis being captured by corporations, not workers.The result?Extreme wealth concentration—a few companies will control global productivity.Economic dependence on AI-driven corporations—access to AI services becomes essential.The erosion of human autonomy—as AGI takes over decision-making, people lose control over their future.If AGI were meant to assist workers,structured workforce adaptation, reskilling, and economic redistribution would be in place.Instead,AGI is being deployed recklessly.The Absence of a Transition PlanA responsible AGI transition would include:An AI wealth redistribution system—forcing AI profits to fund displaced workers.Mass AI-assisted reskilling programs—real training, not empty promises.Regulated AGI deployment—phased workforce integration, not unchecked automation.Decentralized AI ownership—ensuring AGI benefits everyone, not just corporations.Instead, OpenAI’sreal planis accelerationism: “AGI will figure it out.” But AGI is not being programmed tohelp—it is being progr
