Reply to comment by Dyeeguy in Anyone else feel like everything else is meaningless except working towards AGI? by PixelEnjoyer

What gives you meaning? Working? That's like the only thing going away.

I’d imagine that most have a lack of meaning through their employment. Nonetheless, people will suck at their job compared to AGI, so they’d only make the endeavor meaningless and less impactful. I’m sure we will find meaning in ways we don’t know right now, i imagine there will be ways people can stroke their ego, but i’d rather we leave work to the professionals.

I am gathering from your reply that you believe meaning to be an objective function related to economic utility. Is this true?

No, i’m speaking on people who always say there is no meaning simply because work won’t exist, I just find it odd that they would find meaning in it at all if AGI does it better and more efficiently. Just looking at the prosperity of the world and appreciating life and family would be sufficient for me, not working for unethical establishments.
