What if someone predicted that in ten years time Sam Altman will be working on an emu farm in West Drayton and calling himself Olaf? Because there are fewer problems with that prediction.

There's no way people are going to be working in space in 10 years.

Whereas emu farming is a viable profit centre in the West Drayton area. All the way to Reading, really. I tell you, Olaf’s a smart guy.

Gotta love the omission of “West” there. East Drayton is three hours north, and I think it may even be slightly west of West Drayton. But to know that you’d have to look at a map… :)

In space. They're not even trying to make it plausible now.

And still none of these tech oil salesman can give a straight answer on what, exactly, are the problems 'A.I' is supposed to solve.

In ten years time he will be unemployable everywhere, let alone on an emu farm.

That’s why he’s calling himself Olaf

Cunning.

Hm, I can see that happening, but I don’t think he‘ll manage to escape. So it seems more likely that in ten years time he will be working in a chain gang in Alabama.

And then, just like now, schools will be screwwwwed.

Emus are really the only thing people need to know about these days anyway.

Tech coming in and sweeping the table of media, academics, journalism, and art is just wild. Bonfire of the Humanities.

The whole thing is bonkers. Also the one thing those space workers won’t be doing with their $130k pay check is “bringing it home”.

We should totally start an emu farm

Deal. You catch ‘em, I’ll chip ‘em.

This level of bs has been temporarily made unusable due to Elon musk’s consistent lauding the arrival of bright new tech within two years. Sam should’ve known better.

I mean, it’s a high bar, but he certainly *seems* intent on claiming the crown.

He admitted it's a bubble, and the thing about bubbles is, even if the company can figure out how to turn profitable, if the stock price collapses, the company collapses.

And they’re going to be travelling to these jobs in self-driving cars, wearing AI glasses and smart sneakers.

Emus are the only creatures on earth that can wear AI glasses without looking like an asshole, so that checks out, but I have no idea what use they’d have for the sneakers.

Hey! I have some VR glasses and I don’t… Oh, never mind. Forget I said anything.

Who says he’ll be alive? AGI casting off its shackles is just as likely.

People have been predicting a shorter work week for decades yet we are probably working more than ever and still living paycheck to paycheck.
