You seem to be asking what problems exist shortly after though. Free intelligence will precede things like:
- free energy
- free non-energy resources
- autonomous, self-repairing and preserving, humanoid bodies
- free consciousness
- scalable ethical systems for machine intelligence
- cooperative diversity of machine intelligence variations
- human mind reading
That's at least what comes to mind immediately.
rock solid list. Energy feels like the big one. Reprogramming of all sorts feels big too -- humanoid bodies, biological reprogramming of all kinds (aging reversal, disease elimination). In some ways human mind reading/free consciousness is a form of reprogramming our ability to manipulate reality -- and I wonder what more we'll be able to do here.
This answer was motivated by a conversation I had in Pleb Lab today. Space Ted shared an anecdote where a culture answered "food" when asked "what's the meaning of life?" If what we spend most of our time doing is the meaning of life, many of us would answer "refining information."
I suspect, when intelligence is free:
If internet forums existed when we were hunter gatherers, I can imagine a post titled "What problems exist when food is easy to acquire, cheap, and ubiquitous?"
Our current problems are largely constrained by intelligence, so that's why people are obsessed with creating more of it and can't see beyond it. Once intelligence is free, we'll take it for granted, the game will change, and we'll be constrained by something else.
