I don't think anyone has any answers to these questions.
They are shooting themselves in the foot aiming for AGI. With everyone out of work, they won't get be able to recover all the investment they've made.
Even if we end up with a "universal basic income" or similar, what happens to everyones acquired wealth and status, we all just stick with what we've got when AI took over everything?
I think this is different to the industrial revolution and other automation improvements, as those things couldn't fix and improve themselves. I'm very skeptical new jobs will appear quick enough to replace those that are lost.
Or maybe we'll never get there and this will remain a tool with limited autonomy without a large amount of human control.
