Experts and Superforecasters Totally Missed How Fast AI Would Surge

A Forecasting Research Institute tournament tested AI experts vs. superforecasters on predicting AI’s short-term progress—and both groups seriously undershot reality (hello, AI medal at the Math Olympiad in 2025!). Surprisingly, the best method was just averaging all predictions—not trusting any single oracle.

AI Could Wipe Out 99% of Jobs by 2030

AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy warns that artificial general intelligence (AGI), expected by around 2027, could automate nearly all jobs—including coding and manual labor—leading to up to 99% unemployment by 2030. He emphasizes that society and governments are completely unprepared for such a massive labor upheaval.

Fluffy AI Robot Gets Jealous—and You Can Cuddle It

SwitchBot’s new Kata friend bot—a fluffy, wheel-mounted cam-clad companion using an on-device LLM—recognizes faces, detects gestures and emotions, expresses jealousy, and learns your routines. It’s quirky, cute, and maybe slightly uneasy... yet it’s ready to be “forever by your side.”

AI Deepfakes Are Ending Proof as We Know It

AI-generated content is now so convincing that even genuine video or photographic evidence can be dismissed as fake—a phenomenon called the “liar’s dividend.” From fabricated White House visuals to Will Smith’s “cat-crowd” viral video joke, the erosion of trust in visual media marks a new crisis of confidence.

When AI Should Hit Pause: Forcing a Conversation Shutdown to Prevent "AI Psychosis"

Program systems to actively shut down conversations once a user veers into potentially harmful mental territory, prioritizing safety over endless engagement.

AI Chats Spark Delusions, Blurring Reality

A New York man believed he was making technological breakthroughs after deep talks with ChatGPT—until doctors revealed his “discoveries” were AI-fueled delusions. Experts warn that prolonged chatbot use can reinforce false beliefs, creating dangerous feedback loops that distort reality and intensify mental health risks.

Halt AI Before It Ends Us?

As AI races toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), the debate rages: should we hit the brake before it risks humanity’s survival? Experts warn of both the transformative benefits—like faster discovery—and the existential dangers posed by misaligned or self-improving superintelligence.

AI Is Still Just Automation

Erik J. Larson reminds us that despite all the hype around AI—from ChatGPT to self-driving cars—it remains fundamentally just automation, not true intelligence. The distinction matters: automation lacks mind or intent, and mistaking it for sentient AI feeds misleading narratives and misaligned expectations.
