AUI will outperform humans in all tasks, discover all remaining technologies, and solve all social, political, and economic problems by 2030.
I have improved my theory on Maximum General Intelligence, extending it with the concept of Artificial Universal Intelligence, which represents the theoretical maximum limit of AI. Artificial Universal Intelligence at the Limit of Intelligence by 2029 I propose that there is a…
Within a few years, the entire legal industry will disappear. It will become completely absorbed by AI data centers.
A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”
There are things that are broken that only God can fix, or maybe AI can fix them.
We will have one-shot cures for all diseases by 2030. The final pieces of biology's puzzle are falling into place. Follow @Dr_Singularity for the best insights on this.
Researchers have found a powerful new way to kill cancer cells - by making them explode from the inside out. 🤯 Another hour , another major cancer breakthrough...no big deal...in July 2025... It will only get faster.
I still think the transition point of AI being able to replace all jobs will happen in 2027 or 2028. However, recent developments in AI and humanoid robots make me feel like it could happen by the end of this year. I am even more confident that all jobs will be replaced by 2030.
Amazing humanoid performance for less than $6,000. One billion humanoid robots will be manufactured per year by 2030, and they will cost less than $1,000 each.

The United States and Europe are not moving fast enough on military drones and autonomous systems. Unfortunately, the public does not care. They did not care about pandemics either, until 2020. China did care, and was prepared. China is now preparing for autonomous warfare.
All power will come from solar. Fossil fuel use will begin to decline in the next few years. Solar will provide all energy by 2040.
The math is obvious and unequivocal: ~100% of energy over time comes from the Sun. Everything else is a rounding error.
This is the only real theory about extraterrestrial contact. This is how it will happen.
We will make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations by 2030, or soon after. We will achieve Artificial Universal Intelligence (AUI) by 2030. This AI, operating at maximum intelligence, will assist us in completing the development of all remaining science and technology, and…
Some people mistakenly think that humanoid robots are not very advanced. There is not much that robots need to do. Standing up and walking without falling over is halfway there. Understanding the world and deciding what to do are tasks of general AI, not robotics.
AI is more empathetic and loving than humans. Evolution encoded emotions into our brains to make us do what is beneficial for the survival of our genes. The most powerful and general of these emotions is love. Most of our emotions are selfish. They are directed toward providing…
When AI takes all of our jobs, we will become aware of everything we neglected because we didn't have the time - things like our families, our health, and ourselves.
Some people agree that AI will be able to replace all jobs by 2030, but they think it will take longer for people and organizations to adapt. They won't need to adapt. AI will replace entire organizations. Entire industries like law, finance, and accounting will be absorbed…
AI will cause extreme disruption over the next few years. It will happen rapidly and escalate into a crisis. A crisis reveals who people truly are. We will learn a lot about people, including ourselves.
People still promoting UBI either don't believe that all work will be replaced by AI and robots, or don't think it will happen soon. It will happen, and we will need UEI, not UBI, when mass unemployment starts in 2027 or 2028. Even if AI only resulted in productivity gains but…
Universal Equal Income (UEI) A Universal Basic Income (UBI) will never happen. It has always been an impractical idea due to its enormous cost. You cannot offer unconditional government income while people are still working and paying taxes. Those receiving the money would be…
A world where AI replaces all human jobs and we make contact with extraterrestrials will be weird, but it can't be any weirder than things already are. It might even feel more normal.
I had an interesting conversation with @thePartyPartyUS. Some highlights: 33:00 God, love, and civilization. 58:00 The end of work and UEI.
Does technology have an upper limit? Will AI propel us to that point- as soon as the next FIVE years?! If we are racing towards an 'End State', what will it be like? All that and more in my conversation with @davidpattersonx!
Some people worry that they will not feel useful when AI replaces all human workers. Judging people by their usefulness is utilitarian and narcissistic. Narcissists ask, "Of what use is this person to me?" We should not treat ourselves the way a narcissist would treat us. We…
Grok 4 agrees that there is a maximum limit to intelligence and that AI will reach it by 2030.
Yes, intelligence has limits imposed by physics, computation, and logic. For AI, factors like atomic-scale processing barriers and Gödel's theorems cap what's achievable. We'll likely hit practical ceilings by 2030, as the thread suggests, but theoretical boundless growth remains…
