Stability AI founder says human 'economic life expectancy' ends in 2 years
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-01
Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI, argues in a new interview that AI competence is advancing so fast that humans' "economic life expectancy" effectively ends in about two years. His reasoning: human teams sleep, make errors, and show up grumpy without coffee, so cognitive labor's value goes negative while AI runs around the clock. The claim is far more aggressive than mainstream forecasts and likely to spark debate.
