François Fleuret boils down AI futures to four scenarios, from golden age to 'nothing changes'
francoisfleuret · x · 2026-11-15
Meta's chief AI scientist François Fleuret sums up the four imagined AI futures in four lines: (1) everyone is reasonable and humanity enters its golden eternity; (2) AIs kill everyone; (3) an elite of immortal semi-gods lives in isolation with AIs while the rest eat Soylent Green; (4) nothing changes and it still sucks. The dry delivery makes it a sharp commentary on how little the actual outcome will resemble any of these.
