A Reddit user discusses how the world after ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) may be far beyond our imagination, citing the AI 2040 report predicting that by 2031, a third of cognitive labor and a tenth of physical labor will be performed by AI and robots. The author argues that even with slowed development, the pace of change will be overwhelming, and we may be as unable to imagine the future as someone in 1955 predicting the year 2000.
