Yampolskiy predicts that AGI will wipe out all computer-based cognitive labor, and that physical humanoid robots are only 3 to 5 years behind. His conclusion? A near-future where almost all physical and mental jobs are automated, making retraining impossible because AI can learn any new skill faster than we can.

🚨 Is the timeline for physical AGI shrinking? Speaking on the The All-In Podcast with @jason 1X CEO Bernt Børnich dropped a massive prediction: we are less than a decade away from a physical AI "hard takeoff." His personal bet? Just 3 years. What his 3-year hard takeoff actually looks like: ▪️ Robots manufacturing robots ▪️ Autonomous chip fabs & data centers ▪️ Self-sufficient mining & refining ▪️ A true abundance of physical labor 1X's strategy to get there relies on an open ecosystem and training the NEO humanoid on internet-scale video.

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy just predicted 99% unemployment by 2032. The leading AI safety researcher and cybersecurity expert laid out a timeline that's hard to ignore: AGI by 2027, and then five years later, the economy as we know it. Here's his logic: "If you have this concept of a drop-in employee, you have free labor, physical and cognitive, trillions of dollars of it. It makes no sense to hire humans for most jobs." The math is brutal when a $20 subscription does the same work as an employee. Yampolsky breaks it into two waves: Wave 1 — Cognitive labor (now → 2027) "Anything on a computer will be automated." Writing, coding, analysis, design, customer service. Gone. Wave 2 — Physical labor (2027 → 2032) "Humanoid robots are maybe 5 years behind." Once AGI arrives, the robots follow. Then there's nowhere left to hide. "We're looking at a world where we have levels of unemployment we've never seen before. Not talking about 10% unemployment, which is scary, but 99%." The only jobs that survive? "Jobs where for whatever reason you prefer another human would do it for you." Think about what that list actually looks like — it's devastatingly short. Most people are sleepwalking into this while the AI conversation stays stuck on productivity gains, not on what happens when hiring humans becomes economically irrational. Yampolsky is predicting total replacement of the human workforce as we know it. If 99% unemployment arrives by 2032, most people have less than 7 years to figure out what they're building their life around.

Demis Hassabis says we shouldn't treat AGI as a marketing term But as a system that exhibits all human cognitive capabilities, including physical intelligence It must go beyond solving math problems to true invention, creating new theories like Einstein or new art genres like Picasso "today's systems are nowhere near that"

Elon Musk: We can have a future where nobody's in need. “A future of abundance for all sounds impossible. But what I'm here to tell you is that it will indeed be the case. What's key to that is robotics and AI: Self-driving cars and autonomous humanoid robots that can be your own personal robot buddy [...] and enable the production of goods and services, basically with no limit. When you combine that with sustainable energy from the sun and batteries, we can at the same time also maintain a great environment. I think that's the future that we want. A future where nobody's in need, you can have what you want. But we still have the beautiful parts of nature that we like. And also space travel—let's not forget that.” Tesla All-Hands Meeting, March 20, 2025

Over the last 200 years, we've automated away a lot of hard physical labour. But people still go to the gym. Indeed, many people today are more physically capable than people in the past. We can train systematically for whatever physical goal we want, and it's more fun than hard labour on a pre-modern farm. Andrej Karpathy's hope is that, in the future, the same will be true of learning. AI tutoring that's tailored to each person will make learning easy, and more people will want to do it. We will be able to go much further than our ancestors.

🇺🇸 ELON ON AI: “IF YOU CAN THINK OF IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT - THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE” "I'm Confident that AI and robotics will continue to advance -and they are advancing very rapidly- working will become optional. People will be able to have any goods or services they want. If you can think of it, you can have it. But at a certain point, AI will actually saturate everything humans can think of. And then it becomes a situation where AI is doing things for AI and robotics are doing things for AI and robotics, because they are running out of things to do to make humans happy. Because there is a limit, there are only so many people and only so much food. If you can think of it, you can have it. That will be the future." Source: Elon Musk, Nikhil Kamath

Ilya Sutskever explains why AI will do 100% the work that human can do within few years. "Slowly but surely, or maybe not so slowly, AI will keep getting better. The day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do, not just some of them, but all of them. Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. How do we know this, by the way? How can I be so sure? How can I be so sure of that? The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. That's why we have a brain; the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things: because we have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer." --- Full Video on 'University of Toronto' YT Channel (link in comment)

Elon Musk says Optimus is the infinite money glitch. Not because robots are valuable. Because robots can make more robots. Musk explained that humanoid robots improve through three exponential trends multiplied together: digital intelligence, AI chip capability, and electromechanical dexterity. But the real unlock is that the robot can start making the robots. "So you have a recursive multiplicative exponential," he said. "This is a supernova." Musk's thesis is that once you have a physical robot capable of manufacturing, the production curve stops being linear and becomes self-replicating. Every robot built accelerates the building of the next one. The implication is that the companies that control physical manufacturing will control AI's future, not the ones with the best models. The bottleneck is not intelligence. It is atoms.

The Laptop Test. Why most remote jobs will disappear within 10 years. Insights from an interview with Shane Legg, cofounder of Google DeepMind. A short clip, but it lands like a brick. Legg lays out a framework that quietly nukes a huge chunk of today’s job market. •The Laptop Test If your job can be done fully remote with just a laptop, screen, and internet, it’s pure cognitive labor. No physical presence. No embodiment. That is exactly the domain advanced AI will dominate. Conclusion: most remote, computer-only jobs are on a countdown. •Yes, humans still matter but less than we think Some digital work survives because people follow people. Influencers, creators, personalities. The value isn’t the task, it’s the human behind it. But that’s the exception, not the rule. •Experts are behind the curve Legg points out something uncomfortable: many academics and professionals seriously underestimate AGI. They judge AI by outdated capabilities, not by where it is actually heading. The pace of progress is faster than their mental models. •Why “normal people” often get it first Non-experts look at AI and think: it writes better, knows more, speaks more languages, solves more problems than I do. Why wouldn’t it replace jobs? Experts, meanwhile, assume their niche is too special. That belief is often more ego than evidence. Bottom line: If your income depends on work that lives entirely on a screen, you are not competing with AI yet, but you are on borrowed time. The question is no longer if, but how society adapts when this becomes obvious.

Sam Altman says he’s excited about a future where signing up for ChatGPT’s highest tier gets you a free humanoid robot. ⦿ The mechanical engineering and AI for humanoids are quite hard but feel within grasp. ⦿ Making a billion humanoid robots will take a while; maybe the first million humanoid robots, built the old-fashioned way, will automate the entire robotics supply chain to enable faster scale. ⦿ The demand for humanoids will be far more than what we can handle with current supply chains. ⦿ Things we've tried to bring manufacturing back to the US have failed. AI & robotics is a potential solution.

Yuval Noah Harari warns that AI will most easily replace the narrow cognitive skills society has long prized in education—math, engineering, word-based tasks, numbers, charts, technical drawings. The skills likely to remain valuable in 5–10 years are those that combine intelligence with physical body/motor coordination, real human social interaction, and emotional depth. His example: martial arts. It demands mental training, physical conditioning, and actual human opponents—elements AI cannot authentically replicate. Anything purely intellectual and narrow? Vulnerable. Anything whole-body, emotionally rich, and socially embedded? Much harder to automate. Which skill do you believe will still be distinctly human and valuable in 2035?
