It's another @MTSPodcastOnX Thursday, boys and girls, so come join us, in the World of Tomorrow!
Rumors are building that 2027 will usher in the true explosion of synthetic intelligence. We explore the fears that come along with that: will it be Skynet, or something stranger?
What if the AI takeover doesn't start with machines rebelling and Terminators hunting us down? Was T.S. Eliot more correct than he knew? Will the human world end not with a bang, but a whimper?
What if instead of violent annihilation we just give over more and more of our work and our agency until there's nothing left, because the machines make our lives so much easier that we gladly hand them the keys?
On the other hand, we all sense that human beings were never made to sit in cubicles staring at computer screens all day. What if the bots come for our email jobs and in the process, liberate us to rediscover our humanity?
@SteveSkojec and @kalezelden start with the AI labs going quiet, Claude Fable 5.2, a possible GPT-6 drop, and the hard lesson in hardware that's coming for the software bros.
Will GTA6 -- essentially a degeneracy simulator -- be the last human-made AAA game? If so, could there be any more fitting curtain call?
This episode quickly tosses the prep notes in favor of diving into the questions underneath all of this: what is work for, what are humans for, and what have we lost along the way to this weird future we're living in?
What can humans do that is uniquely human?
What can the bots never take from us?
Along the way: white-collar jobs, the breaking social contract, AI agents scanning LIDAR for archaeological sites, and the forecast that 2027 is when the intelligence explosion takes off.
