What will become scarce after AGI? Economists debate future resources
In an episode of Dwarkesh Podcast, economists Alex Imas and Phil Trammell discuss which resources will remain scarce even after AGI is achieved. They use ballet as an example: while robots can be replicated exponentially, the number of skilled ballerinas cannot be increased in the same way, highlighting fundamental limits to automating certain human values.
WHY IT MATTERS
The debate touches on central questions about post-AGI economics – not just technical possibilities, but which human and natural resources will determine value creation and inequality when intelligence is no longer a bottleneck.
