For centuries, the powerful needed our labor. That dependence gave ordinary people leverage.
AI and robots could end it.
The danger isn't just machines turning against humanity. It's a future where their owners no longer need us.

Anthropic's S-1 reads like scripture. The founders keep control. Investors chase trillions. Humanity is promised abundance.
But if AI makes human labor unnecessary, what incentive remains for its owners to keep that promise?
Faith isn't a social contract.

Is Thiel really this clueless, or just playing dumb?
Once AI makes human labor unnecessary, why would those in power pay universal income to people they no longer need?
He's already a billionaire. If he actually believes in UBI, why not start funding it now?

Once AI makes human labor obsolete, why would those controlling the machines keep funding people they no longer need?
If UBI is the solution, why wait until then? He's a billionaire today. Put your money where your mouth is.

The real danger isn't losing your job. It's what happens when the powerful no longer need most people to keep their economy running.
Their machines keep producing. Our society could be left behind.

The most seductive AI fantasy: once robots do all the work, everyone will be rich.
But who owns the robots? Our labor made us indispensable to the powerful. AI could end that dependence, and with it, our leverage.
The nightmare isn't scarcity. It's abundance without us.
David easily has the most bullish predictions of any futurist I know.
He predicts that:
By 2030:
everyone will be unemployed
all remaining science and technology will be developed
there will be a cure for every disease
universal high income payments will be worth ten times the average salary today
Do you agree?

Silicon Valley's greatest con was convincing us that its profits meant human progress.
For a decade, tech giants grew obscenely rich while making us more distracted, isolated, and dependent.
Now they unleash AI and ask us to clean up the mess.
And they call it innovation.

John Connor isn't a motivational speaker. 😏
You don't save humanity by selling comforting fantasies. You save it by recognizing the danger before it's too late.
This time, Judgment Day might arrive without a single robot firing a shot.
60,000 workers offered buyouts. And this is just the beginning.
The real nightmare isn't mass unemployment. It's an economy that no longer needs most humans to function.
Once the powerful no longer depend on us, why maintain the society we depend on?
Their economy thrives. Ours decays until They Stop Needing Us: humanityeclipse.substack.com…
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.
"Labor out, margin in" is the nightmare hiding in plain sight.
Not just fewer jobs, but an economy that can thrive without the people it once depended on.
When that dependence disappears, who has an incentive to maintain the society the rest of us need?

Backup career? AI will eventually replace that too.
The real nightmare isn’t running out of jobs. It’s the powerful no longer needing the rest of us.
When that dependence disappears, so could the incentive to maintain our schools, hospitals, and public services.
No jobs. No leverage. Abandonment.
Cheaper AI agents that can operate our computers aren't just a productivity breakthrough.
They're another step toward an economy that needs fewer people to function.
The real danger isn't merely losing jobs. It's the powerful eventually no longer needing the rest of us:

The "backup career" question misses the real nightmare.
If AI makes human labor unnecessary, the powerful could run their economy without us. Schools, hospitals, and public services could be left to decay.
Their world thrives. Ours is abandoned.

This misses the real danger.
The problem isn't just that salaries disappear and asset owners win.
It's that once elites no longer need human labor, they no longer need the majority at all.
That's when the social contract starts to die.
Elon Musk
The remaining time is at most 5 years.
During this period, it's still possible to make money through "human labor."
But after that,
Most jobs that have been paid salaries until now
will become automated. The business of earning money will end.
The "meaning of paying money to humans" will disappear.
This system that's been going on for the last 200 years
"If you lend us your time for 40 years, we'll pay you a salary"
This will end... Work will end
In other words, history's largest-scale "money movement" will take place.
So, what's the situation now?
👉Some people have realized it and taken action
👉Many people are "waiting until it's explicitly stated in the news"
This "time gap between realizations" is everything.
So, what needs to be done in these 3 years?
Very Simple
"Transform your own time into an asset that machines cannot take away"
Specifically, the following
• Rare digital assets like Bitcoin
• Real assets like land or energy
• Computers or infrastructure
• Connections with people (network)
• The power to produce food or things necessary for life
What even is a salary???
"Just for having lent your own time"
If the value of that time,
becomes cheaper and superior with machines...
- That value will suddenly collapse
In the end, the only thing left will be this
"What you own (assets)"
In these 3 years
Those who can transform from
"a salaried person"
to
"an asset-owning person"
In 2035-2036
will be the "people who saw the future."
After that
• Salaries won't increase
They'll eventually become irrelevant
The only thing left is one
"Who owns what"
The door of opportunity is open right now.
But it's closing faster than everyone thinks.
The nightmare isn't that AI destroys civilization. It's that civilization keeps thriving for those who own the machines while ordinary humanity is gradually abandoned.

Silicon Valley didn’t just make us dependent. AI could make that dependence one-way.
Once the powerful no longer need our labor, they can prosper without maintaining the society the rest of us rely on.

AI's darkest risk isn't disruption. It's making ordinary people irrelevant to those in power.
Once elites no longer need our labor, schools, hospitals, and public services could be left to rot.
Their automated economy thrives. Ours collapses.
AI is the most profound technology I’ve seen, both in its ability to help people and to disrupt their lives. I’m optimistic about the good it can do, but we need to take its risks seriously. b-gat.es/4zLk2T3
