What you're describing is my main concern of how this AI development might turn out. If we get any sort of autonomous agent (conscious or not) that can replace human workers in massive scale, there is currently no government or other institution prepared or willing to make sure that the people left standing without jobs can afford to live.

I'm really hopeful that all Sama's talk about ASI / AGI is just salesspeak, because if it isn't we are potentially in for a very dystopic few years.

But then, it isn't in the top 0.1% interest to replace human workers and cause a hunger-fueled revolution either, I just don't have high hopes that they will care enough to try to prevent it.
