You seem to believe you can predict what the AGI known as "The Global Economy" is going to do with its erstwhile individual human components. What makes you think it will "give us everything we want" when it has already demonstrated for over a half century that it is perfectly willing to violate the *consent* of *more than a supermajority* of the US citizenry as determined by Gallup polls on immigration policy over that entire period? What would it take to convince you that maybe it isn't just "not everyone agrees" that this AGI is "friendly"? Sniper rifles taking out the substations in all of the cities above 1M population? Would that do it?
