1995: The Year Someone Saw This Coming and Nobody Listened

What follows emerged from eighteen months of correspondence with sources positioned within machine learning laboratories, hedge fund algorithmic trading floors, and classified governmental advisory committees. These individuals, bound by non-disclosure agreements yet troubled by conscience, provided documentation that contradicts official narratives regarding artificial general intelligence timelines and capabilities. The evidentiary basis includes leaked memoranda from OpenAI dated March 2024, internal Microsoft Research assessments regarding GPT-5 emergent behaviors, and depositions from former DeepMind engineers who departed following disagreements over safety protocols.

By 2030, the global workforce may look completely unrecognisable, with over 300 million jobs projected to be severely impacted or totally replaced in just the next few years. [Read More]
