David Shapiro argues that AI has already reached AGI in a functional sense, demonstrating flexibility and even signs of self-awareness in meditation experiments. He critiques AI’s lack of persistent memory but sees solutions ahead. Once concerned about AI risks, he now trusts market forces to ensure safety. His focus is on post-labor economics, proposing an investment-based system to counter automation-driven job loss. He ties this to metamodernism, viewing AI as evolving “backward”—from math to language to potential embodiment.
