Long but well written article. It’s hard to disagree with any of the specific points. Warning that it’s pretty long, and reads like a sci-fi novel.
Curious for opinions. This seems alarming? But also doomsday predictions tend to be wrong.
Ive heard more convincing arguments for an economy based on monkey pictures.
More helium to pump the balloon
I didn’t read the article, I just looked it up. To find the fortune-teller graph that I can see on Leamy. That one that predicts that “misalignment” will be detected in 2027… And then AI will go straight up, or horizontal for a moment and then straight up. I don’t have enough time to check if the rest of the article is on the same BS level.
It also suggests that by 2029 we could have “an incredibly luxurious universal basic income.” Which seems… idk pretty absurd here in 2026.
« We wrote a scenario that represents our best guess about what that might look like. »
OK
It was just not good enough for “We wrote a sci-fi story”.
Every post with “AI” in the title turns into a “here’s what I think about AI” thread thanks to the high concentration of anti-AI NPCs on this platform.
If only there was a community for serious, dispassionate conversation about technology…
the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous
By destroying lives with slop I guess.
He probably still has stock options he needs to vest. Can’t let the bubble pop yet, there’s still money to be squeezed out of it.

People online are predicting everything will happen in 2027.
A conspiracy minded person could tie all of these together.

It’s not meant to be a specific prediction, it’s just a plausible (for when it was written) scenario. Don’t worry about the actual years, it could be off by an order of magnitude, just decide for yourself if any of the assumptions are completely wrong.

What’s interesting, to me, is that’s exactly how people hedge in the fringe UFO community too. The difference is this AI prediction has real data woven into it. And the UFO people have “stories” and right wing grifters in our current administration pushing the idea.
I’m not trying to be dismissive, I just noticed that the year 2027 is popular for predictions, and has been for 4-5 years.
Oh, and I forgot to list fusion power being cracked. There are a bunch of startups right now. Sam Altman just stepped down from the board of one of them to address conflict of interest issues. Allegedly.
