losing jobs is the biggest predictable hazard of AI but far from the biggest
however there seems to be a big disconnect on this site and others
If you believe AGI is possible and that AI can be smarter than humans in all tasks, naturally you can imagine many outcomes far more substantial than job loss.
However many people don’t believe AGI is possible, thus will never consider those possibilities
I fear many will deny the probability that AGI could be achieved in the near future, thus leaving themselves and others unprepared for the consequences. There are so many potential bad outcomes that could be avoided merely if more smart people realized the possibility of AGI and ASI, and would thus rationally devote their cognitive abilities to ensuring that the potential emergence of smarter than human intelligences goes well.
