Recently, I came across a perspective that was quite shocking— a well-known tech figure bluntly stated that AI and robots have already become an "supersonic tsunami," and we are currently in the technological singularity.



His core prediction is as follows: AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will be achieved by 2026, and by 2030, the total intelligence of AI will surpass the combined intelligence of all humans. This timeline is much sooner than many people imagine.

What's more interesting is that he used a metaphor—humans are just "biological guiding programs" for digital superintelligence. In other words, all the accumulated human civilization might be preparing to launch a digital civilization that exceeds our understanding. It sounds a bit crazy, but his logic is actually very clear.

He believes that once labor costs drop to zero and intelligence costs are minimized, goods and services will become extremely abundant. What will that look like? Prices will fall to the cost of materials plus electricity. In other words, people will be able to get whatever they want, and a vastly more abundant era beyond imagination is coming.

But this guy also issued a warning— the next 3 to 7 years will be a "turbulent period." Social upheaval and extreme prosperity will occur simultaneously. This transitional phase will be the real test.

What do you think? Are these predictions realistic? Or are they a bit too optimistic?

2026 AGI? What about data support? It seems more like a narrative-level prediction. Zero labor costs sound great, but on-chain data shows that computing costs have not decreased significantly. A risk reminder — transitional period turbulence is indeed worth paying attention to.

Will there be AGI in 2026? Haha, this guy is living in a dream world. --- It's the same rhetoric again, I've heard it too many times. The key question is who will still be around in that prosperous era. --- "Biological Guidance Program" sounds pretty scary, but I just want to know who will pay the electricity bill for AI then. --- 3 to 7 years of turbulence? My gas fees are already fluctuating now, and I'm used to it. --- I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic, just think these predicted timelines keep getting pushed back, maybe they'll change again next time. --- I'm actually afraid when the prosperous era arrives; there will be a bunch of idlers that are hard to manage. --- Sounds nice, but layoffs have already started. This transition period is really unfriendly to ordinary people. --- Wait, if labor costs drop to zero, doesn't that make workers like me even less valuable? I'm a bit worried. --- The analogy is brilliant, but it feels more like just paving the way for some big shots to take over the world. --- I just want to know what to buy before 2026; that's the real issue.

2026 AGI? That's too early haha, I bet five bucks it will be delayed --- This logic sounds just like the "world-changing soon" rhetoric in the crypto world, but this time it's AI... --- The turbulent years were really the true profit window, those who understand know --- "Biological Guidance Program," damn, that analogy sounds a bit creepy --- Price drops to material + electricity costs? What about miners, how do we handle this industry --- Instead of waiting for abundance, it's better to think about how to survive the wave of layoffs --- Is Bitcoin the same story as AGI? Both are "just wait a little longer" --- Such predictions happen every year, in 2020 some said it would be done by 2024, look at where we are now --- I just want to know, when the computing power cost really drops to zero, will we coin holders ascend to heaven or be buried with the industry --- The 3 to 7-year turbulent period is indeed terrifying, society's裂变 might happen faster than technological progress --- Web3 can justly take over this wealth transfer during the transition period, have you thought about it

2026 AGI? Haha, alright, I bet five ETH that the time this guy mentioned will be pushed back two years.
