I don't know, are we actually going to be making coffee in the case of the AGI singularity?

If you listen to the hardcore doomers, the misaligned superintelligence will curl a finger on its monkey paw and turn the planet into paperclips or something. If you listen to the most depraved boosters, AGI will remove the need for 99.999% of human workers and so we all get turned into biofuel to churn out more tokens.

Yes those are really extremely scenarios but that's how I think of the singularity. It's so alien that we cannot rule out anything.
