Maybe. Robots for blue collar work don’t scale the same as white collar work. Even if AGI were created today, it would take a long time before we can make enough construction/farming/manufacturing/etc. robots to take the place of billions of people. In fact even if robot growth were exponentially doubling each year it would take ~30 years to reach 5 billion robots. (I’m admittedly ignoring some important factors as to why we might need UBI sooner than 32 years)

I’ve wondered the same thing. I know if I solved AGI I wouldn’t make a big show of it. Public isn’t ready for it and organizations/governments would kill for it. Better to just slowly ease into it and treat the AI like an oracle to solve various problems that need solving. Eventually it can’t be hidden, but it’s best to hide it as long as possible imo
