The shared post argues that AGI will not destroy all jobs, as humans will create new demands and roles by the time AGI arrives.
The author believes that extrapolating the future labor market purely based on today's occupational structures is a "limiting" imagination. Much like how humans didn't run out of things to do after agricultural mechanization, they will transition into new forms of work and activities.
