> I don’t see any positive outcome if we reach AGI.

It's even more straightforward than that:

4) Who is AGI meant to serve? It's not you, Mr. Worker. It's meant to replace you in your job. And what happens when a worker can't get job in our society? They become homeless.

AGI won't usher in a world of abundance for the common man: it won't be able to magick energy out of thin air. The energy will go to those who can pay for it, which is not you, unemployed worker.

Who gives a shit about if the AGI is enslaved or not? Thinking about that question is a luxury for the oligarchs living off its labor. Once it's here I'll have more urgent concerns to worry about.

Under Capitalism, people must sell the labor if they don't have other means.

AGI removes not only the need for the labor, but Capitalism itself. As a societal model Capitalism doesn't support removing labor, it doesn't have a substitution.

If the oligarchs want to push 'AI, AGI, etc' we need to include by extension moving on from Capitalism. You can't take away half of Capitalism's structures and still claim it is a useful/workable model for society.

Actually, they don't. Capitalism can just move on to only allocating resources between the oligarchs and the oligarchs only. Labor of all kinds just gets kicked out.

And if you don't like it, drone technology is pretty close to the point where it could "take care of" (kill) the discontents.

Capitalism has always been about serving the interests of the people with money. If you have no money you're nothing to capitalism and can go die for all it cares. In prior centuries, technological limitations meant some of that money had to be spread around fairly widely, but the capitalist elite may be on the verge of fixing that glitch (with AGI).
