info_outlineAI isn’t coming—it’s already here, and it’s moving faster than anyone expected. Autonomous AI agents are being deployed right now, AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) could be here by 2027, and 80% of today’s jobs could be gone within the next decade.

✅ AGI’s Timeline: Why experts like Sam Altman and Elon Musk think AGI could be here before 2030—and what happens when it arrives.
✅ The Death of Human Jobs: Why most jobs will disappear, which industries will be hit first, and what this means for your career.
✅ How to Stay Ahead: The three things you MUST do to thrive in the AI-driven economy.
✅ The Role of Exabits: How high-performance compute will power the next AI revolution, and why cloud giants like AWS, Google, and Microsoft can’t keep up.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 AI agents aren’t just chatbots—they’re autonomous workers running businesses, optimizing supply chains, and replacing human labor.
🔹 AGI could arrive within the next five years, completely reshaping industries, innovation, and the global economy.
🔹 The first jobs to go: Coders, lawyers, analysts, and financial traders. Next? Manufacturing, logistics, and white-collar roles.
🔹 The new economy belongs to those who OWN AI infrastructure—compute power is the new gold.
🔹 If you’re not learning AI, investing in AI, or building with AI right now, you’re already falling behind.
