The article title is very click baity, but I found the actual discussion and reasoning for why this will happen and how it can be stopped to be thoughtful.
“You cannot regulate the design of a hammer so that it can drive nails but not kill anyone, but you can criminalize the killing of a human by a hammer,” Gawdat said.
God I hate managers who think they’re so deep 🙄
While I do agree with a lot of the points made in the article, most of them seem rather basic stuff that everybody has been talking about since AI has started to rise. The tool isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s the capitalist incentives for which it is created and used that drive us further towards dystopia. I found it rather funny to read a former exec criticizing capitalism. I wonder what he’s up to now?
Also, both the year 2027 and the timespan of 15 years seem confidently pulled out of his backside :).
LLMs won’t get smarter in the next 10 years, but they will rapidly outpace humans.

Mo Gawdat is so stupid that he doesn’t understand that we were always stupid :)
If you want us to actually read the article, you should cite something adequate from there. Most people don’t care about clickbaity articles because they are almost always shit.
