Predictions: Market Economics Will Drive AI to Replace All Jobs by 2030

The author predicts that AI and robots will replace all human jobs by 2030, driven purely by market economics.
The core argument is that replacing human labor with AI directly boosts corporate profits. Under shareholder pressure, companies that fail to cut costs will lose market share and equity value. Therefore, AI adoption will be immediate once the technology is ready, without a slow transition.
The author believes AI will be ready next year and will become cheaper and better than humans at everything by 2028. Combined with the mass production of humanoid robots, replacing all jobs by 2030 is a conservative estimate.
