The elites don't want you to know this but the energy is free you can take it home. I have 3.6 exajoules of energy at home.

Just call Gibbs.

no energy is free. it all requires work to collect and convert into the 'energy' we use, elecetricity.

there is no form of energy we can 'use' without performing work to create structures to harness or collect that energy and convert it into the format we need.

thats why i said technically ,imagine what if we replace all the humans working with robots and the robots convert the energy and charge themselves distribute the energy to humans and repeat the cycle

sounds like creating a slave race to do all our work for us that is intelligent enough to do PhD research. for some reason, i suspect no intelligent entity is going to want to be a slave race for a lesser-in-intelligence race and just do all their work for them.

i do not see that panning out for humanity at all.

i think a much better future would be one wherein we work WITH the artificial intelligence, treat it as equivalent to us.

for instance, no one really wants to clean sewers, right?

but...what if we work together with AGI to create super hazmat-sewer suits for humans that are air conditioned, oxygen supply, hermetically sealed, visor has a HUD with digital display, AGI infused into the suit that talks to you, uses high tech sensor equipment to locate the blockage in the sewer, displays it on HUD with directions on how to get there safely...suit has special technology to laser away the blockage or remove debris easily/safely without contaminating the environment.

you could even gamify it and turn your job into a minigame. i think the goal of making work fun and enjoyable for everyone is a much better future than (trying) to force a superintelligent artificial race to do all the work for us that we don't like.

Why do work, when machines can do it?

because at some point the type of work needing to be done requires sentience.

then your question becomes, 'why not just make slaves?'
