That's a good point, scale does matter. There's probably 1000s of projects that get canned every year because it's simply too risky with the startup costs.

Not quite. If AI has rules which make them ethical then the human advantage would be taking an unethical path. For instance an accountant might have some creative 'not entirely by the books' way of avoiding taxes, would an AI be content doing the same?

Do you think UBI will be comfortable to live on? It will only cover the basics. Want to travel or get into a new hobby? Good luck without employment or owning a slice of the AI.

I think developers are in a much safer spot than most due to their ability to constantly learn and evolve. They do only make up 2-3% of the population though. I do get your point but I guess my fear is that the intelligence explosion only levels up with human intelligence but doesn't truly surpass it for sometime, so we end up with the jobs going away but none the innovation needed to fill the void.
