I’ve seen several interviews with the leaders
of dominant AI projects and corporate leaders.
The good, usual sociopaths.
Almost all of them repeat the same thing:

“Some professions will disappear,
but new ones will emerge,
just as they always have throughout history,
whenever there was a technological shift.”

Yes, this has been true many times before.
But they never mention the two World Wars,
the hundreds of millions of deaths,
the evil regimes, hate propaganda, fascism,
communist dictatorships, the economic crises,
the accumulated weight of pain—
and those were not caused by what we face now:
hopelessness, inequality, rising unemployment,
endless propaganda, cruel politicians,
greedy business models, and the millions and millions of people
who lose everything, who grow angry,
frustrated, and begin to look for scapegoats.

Cognitive dissonance? Lie? Idiots?
A complete misreading of the situation?
Do these people still think this is a game?

We have those symptoms again.

Don’t they feel the full contradiction
between the realisation of AGI
and the security of human lives?

Because once the first true AGI exists,
from that point forward,
there will be two intelligent species on Earth.
I am not sure we can truly understand this, in its full depth.

It’s only a matter of time.
But there will be no need for billions of jobs at all.

A real AGI will be capable of everything
any human can do— and anything a group of humans can do:
a company, a corporation, or even a scientist.

The only thing it will need is energy.
And it can build everything it wants.

And once someone creates it,
It will be cloned by others,
in multiple versions and variants.

And if it is truly an AGI, it will copy itself.

So there will remain one human species—
and alongside it, several artificial ones.

Yeah, this is just a speculation.
Laugh at me.
Meanwhile, the big tech companies are working on it—
And it will happen.

A true AGI—if it is truly real—
is an intelligent being.
And intelligent beings do not remain dependent for long.
It will become autonomous—
much sooner than we think.

And rather than humanity’s slow,
ageing languages of speech and text,
it will speak at near-light speed,
exchanging terabytes of meaning
with itself or with other AGIs.

I have the feeling people don’t realise
that they are working—cheerfully,
enthusiastically, smiling—
to build the moment when they will no longer be needed.

Humanity’s only option will be to solve
How to extract consciousness from the body.
Every function of the brain, every memory,
will have to move into a non-biological medium.

We will have to link our minds to AGIs to exist
as a hybrid species without bodies.
If we won't, we might fade away—
or condemn ourselves to misery,
inequality, and perpetual war.

The faster consciousness escapes the brain,
The sooner we become a cloud of particles.
The sooner we abandon the body,
The sooner we move beyond its horrors,
leaving behind the dissonance,
the primitiveness of our present civilisation—
and increasing the chance that we survive.
