Submission statement: There’s no law of the universe saying that something will never be smarter than humans.
Other animals are intelligent. We are creating artificial intelligence.
Bay Area corporations are trying to make humanity obsolete, and this should worry everybody.
The most well educated people fear to be replaced, what else they gonna do? work at 7-11?
No surprise. Why would you get 200k debt to face replacement in the next 10 years?
That’s both the smartest and dumbest thing to do at the same time – and that pretty much describes the state of AI predictions we have regarding were things are heading for humanity.
Firstly, the reputation of Forbes has suffered significantly in my mind. Second: this seems like a silly idea driven by FUD, rather than by rational decisionmaking. A high quality education is its own toolset, and no university student should ever sacrifice their education based on predictions about some futuristic whiz-bang tech we don’t even believe we can make. Look at how dumb LLMs are and then ask yourself how soon AGI is going to come along. Answer: not soon. 90% of the Ai companies out there are trying to disuade competition, and that means targeting the „garage startups“ that might threaten their future dominance, like LLMs did with Google Search, forcing Google to rush into the LLM game to protect its market.
These major companies fear the small startups of entrepreneurs and what they might build that the majors don’t get to own. The majors have your phones, your search, they want your homes, a constant stream of your health information… they want to control it all. To do that they need to scare away the next Larry and Sergei, the next Steve, the next Zuckerberg.
