I skimmed this but didn't read it all the way through. It's interesting, but not particularly new by OA standards other than the more recent timeframe.
My main issue with it is the apparent blind spots in the article. All this superhuman intelligence and technological advancement but corporations are still the primary vehicle of economic activity, job losses are a problem of the common people while CEOs and software people stay on (at least for a while - why a superhuman AI needs them around is unclear), and people deprived of the 'benefits' of spending the majority of their time working to further the dreams of corporate shareholders/CEOs/the neo-liberal consensus cease to have any meaning in their lives and sink into hedonistic do-nothingism. Bleh.
