Ok so what will they be doing instead ?


Playing? Actually enjoying their childhoods?


Then, where do they get money from and food, will that be provided for fee by AGIs? Who will own the AGI systems ? How will they ensure they’re in alignment with the children’s goals ?

Works for me.

> Who will own the AGI systems ?

Communities, ideally:

Community ownership tends to produce the best alignments with the goals of said community - including the children thereof.

I’m not being a prick on purpose, but one should ask these questions rather than reaching for blind optimism.

That's pretty much automatic if the AGI is free software trained on free data.

You ain't being a prick at all; they're questions worth asking. Their answers do depend on optimism, but said optimism ain't "blind" in the slightest; rather, the optimism is a prescription: a goal for which we should be striving, and which we should be keeping in mind in our slow march toward an AGI-enabled potentially-post-scarcity society.
