Sam Altman just went on Theo Von's podcast and revealed the wildest AI predictions I've ever heard.
But here's what shocked me:
Instead of terrifying me, they actually made me LESS afraid of the future.
Here are the 7 predictions that changed my mind:🧵 https://t.co/mxB5asdPdQ
[1/7] Every human will get AI tokens, not just money
Sam's radical idea:
"8 quintillion tokens divided by 8 billion people. So everybody gets 1 trillion tokens."
Not a monthly check. Actual computational power.
You decide how to use it. https://t.co/bSakYR1lDz
[2/7] Your boring tasks are about to disappear
"I'm going to make myself learn to be grateful for that, to love it, to find enjoyment in it."
Sam showed Theo their new Agent feature.
It books restaurants, buys things, does research.
You just do the fun parts. https://t.co/RQanBj5Lj2
[3/7] Speaking of boring stuff disappearing...
"You have a great idea, AI will just make it happen for you."
• No coding required.
• No technical skills needed.
• Just explain what you want in plain English.
But here's the part that blew my mind: https://t.co/zE14djzGMt
[4/7] Software developers aren't getting replaced. They're evolving.
"They still enjoy it. They're operating at a higher level."
AI handles the tedious code.
Humans handle the creativity.
Sam's seeing this happen RIGHT NOW at OpenAI. https://t.co/xVyHjybhfC
[5/7] Kids born today will never know a world where they're smarter than AI
"My kid will never ever be smarter than an AI. That will never happen."
They'll grow up with AI like we grew up with Google.
But Sam's not worried about the kids... https://t.co/lMZFnlIkT0
[6/7] Kids will adapt. Adults will struggle.
"I actually think the kids will be fine. I'm worried about the parents."
Every generation masters new tech naturally.
It's the 50-year-olds who can't adapt.
Which brings us to privacy... https://t.co/I3ipvceaHH
[7/7] Privacy laws are coming for your ChatGPT conversations
"People talk about the most personal sh*t in their lives to ChatGPT."
Right now, those conversations could be subpoenaed.
Sam wants the same legal protection as doctor visits.
Because that's what it's becoming. https://t.co/tQQ9vew9vk
Theo went in scared. He came out "whimsical" about the future.
"I almost thought kind of like, not as hopeful. And now I feel like more whimsical about it."
Maybe we should all feel that way. https://t.co/zm8ttISJwX
And that's a wrap!
If you're curious about where AI is really heading, this podcast is definetly worth checking out.

Hi!! I'm Polly.
2 years ago, I left Asia's biggest outsourcing firm after watching founders get scammed by bad hires.
So I decided to build VisionBrain to fix hiring forever. https://t.co/b1WjQidxlk
