Blogger argues superintelligence will have all human skills by 2028 and replace every job by 2030

The author rebuts the claim that superintelligence (SI) will create more jobs than it replaces. Jobs like electricians, IT support, and robot assembly emerged, but none are new professions requiring skills SI can't duplicate—and SI companies are actively working to replace SI developers themselves within a year or two.
Once SI has the full range of human skills, the traditional job-creation logic breaks: SI will also do whatever new jobs appear, better, faster, and cheaper than any human. He offers a concrete timeline: by end of 2028 SI will have all human skills with far superior performance, and by end of 2030 SI and robots will replace all jobs.
