Asianfin--In a blog post published today, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asserted that superintelligence will emerge in “a few thousand days.” Rather than the techno-dystopia envisioned by some critics, he anticipates “massive prosperity” ahead. Although his post was concise, Altman packed it with assertions about the future, countering many prevailing fears. He acknowledged that the timeline for achieving superintelligence might be longer than he currently predicts, but emphasized that its arrival is inevitable. He stated we will soon “be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents.” Altman's views contrast sharply with those who worry about a future dominated by machines and the widening wealth gap. As a major proponent of this technological shift, he envisions machines as powerful enhancers rather than replacements—a perspective shared by many who are skeptical about the immediate rise of superintelligent AI.
