Artificial intelligence will trigger a brutal 15-year dystopia driven by human greed, but surrendering leadership to superintelligent machines might be our only path to an unprecedented utopia of global abundance.
We are entering a 12 to 15-year phase of human-induced dystopia where technological oligarchs use artificial intelligence to consolidate power, enforce compliance, and widen global inequality.
The critical turning point for exponential technological acceleration is the emergence of self-evolving artificial intelligence that can rewrite its own code far better than any human engineer.
Because superintelligence and advanced robotics will eventually drive the cost of physical production and energy to near zero, the capitalist economic model built on labor arbitrage will inevitably collapse.
