    Price of human intelligence is also falling rapidly. I suspect looking pretty is going to go up in value more rapidly.

      I frequently have speculative conversations about what (good-leaning) post-AGI societies might look like.

      When asked about how one might attain social mobility in such a society, where the intrinsic value of our intelligence and ability to do labor is gone, I unironically respond with "be hot".

        some people think that's how humans got so intelligent. actually if you think about it, it's the only way humans could have got so intelligent. brains were our tail feathers for a while.
