davidpattersonx · x · 2026-10-21
David Patterson, Turing Award winner and RISC-V pioneer, posted an aggressive timeline on X: superintelligence and general intelligence will begin replacing jobs by the end of this year; by end of 2028, SI and robots will outperform humans at everything; and by end of 2030, all jobs will be replaced. This timeline is far more aggressive than most industry forecasts.
