What does daily life look like after artificial general intelligence (AGI) reshapes our economy, creativity, and social fabric? Join us as we walk through a day in the life of Sarah, a woman navigating 2030’s hybrid world of decentralized ownership, universal basic income (UBI), and AI-enhanced living. This grounded vision—co-created with AI and backed by economic research—explores how society adapts to a post-labor economy without falling into utopian or dystopian extremes. Discover how humans maintain agency through lifelong learning, community collaboration, and creative expression, even as AI handles routine tasks. From AI-optimized gardens to mixed-reality concerts, this episode reveals a future where technology amplifies human potential while confronting the messy, real-world challenges of transition.

Key Topics Covered:

The Hybrid Economic Model: Combining UBI with decentralized ownership of automated systems (vertical farms, renewable energy, AI platforms).
Lifelong Learning: Education as a pursuit of passion, powered by AI tutors and immersive simulations.
AI as a Creative Partner: Enhancing (not replacing) human creativity in writing, art, and problem-solving.
Community-Centric Living: Local circular economies, skill-sharing hubs, and redefining "value" beyond wages.
Human-Centered Healthcare: Predictive AI diagnostics paired with empathetic doctor-patient relationships.
The Social Transition: Balancing loss of traditional jobs with new forms of meaning-making and connection.
Challenges Ahead: Inequality, economic agency, and preserving human dignity in a post-labor society.

Featuring insights from economist research and a collaborative vision with AI, this episode is a must-listen for futurists, skeptics, and anyone curious about building a world where technology serves human flourishing.
