The emergence of the all-round talent AGI and a prophecy of Korea's appearance three years later:
Former White House Senior Advisor Elon Reeve Musk is...
It is declaring that the pace of AI (artificial intelligence) development has already completely surpassed human control.
Currently, giant corporations like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are pouring hundreds of trillions of won into artificial intelligence annually. If one company stops, another company will take up the entire market, turning it into a desperate battlefield.
Moreover, powerful nations like the United States and China are engaged in a struggle for artificial intelligence hegemony, staking their national fate on the line.
It's like fighting over who would go to the moon first during the Cold War.
Musk described this situation as a runaway locomotive with no stop button or speed control.
There's one more truly scary point here.
The speed at which technology is advancing is at a level where a new world opens up every time we wake up in the morning and read the newspaper.
Yesterday, AI drew pictures, but today it writes novels.
Tomorrow, I will quickly create a movie script.
Musk poses a very sharp question to us here.
Will you remain merely a spectator with your mouth open in the face of this insane change, or will you somehow ride this wave and survive?
In fact, our elderly people may find these changes frightening and frustrating.
It must be overwhelming to even learn a smartphone, let alone artificial intelligence.
But Musk states firmly that change has already begun and no one can be an exception.
It's like when a train rattles up to a high peak, you can see the surrounding scenery and, though scary, can predict it to some extent. But think about that moment when you hit the top and start to fall vertically.
The mind is completely gone, the body is floating, and there's no time to think about what might happen next, right?
Musk diagnosed that humanity is right at the starting point of that downhill path.
Let's take a look back at what has actually happened over the past three years.
When ChatGPT first came out at the end of 2022, people probably just brushed it off as if a novel toy had just arrived.
But just two years later, artificial intelligence has completely turned the world upside down.
**As of 2026, artificial intelligence took the bar exam in the United States and ranked in the top 1%.
It was like lightly kicking away the brilliant minds who had spent their entire lives studying.
That's not all.
I passed the medical licensing exam with a score close to perfect.
Now, artificial intelligence writes novels, movie scripts, and even creates complex computer programs on its own.
This happened in just two years. Musk himself said that he was speechless at the sight of the AI's capabilities several times a week.
🔹️ but what's even scarier is that I was surprised on Monday, but on Wednesday, another technology comes out and I'm even more surprised.
This is referred to in technical terms as **exponential surprise.
It's not that 1 plus 1 equals 2, but rather that 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, and 4 becomes 8, and so on, it explodes.
This year, 2026, will be the peak of that change.
We are entering a world where, when we open our eyes in the morning, yesterday's common sense becomes outdated today's.
The value of a profession that I have believed in my entire life is also wavering.
In the past, my son and daughter were so happy that if they became lawyers and doctors, they would never have to worry about making a living for the rest of their lives.
However, now we live in an era where AI doctors are better at performing surgeries and AI lawyers can find precedents more accurately.
So, what should humans eat to survive now? Musk makes an even more terrifying prophecy here.
What if a versatile robot appeared that could think like a human and handle everything, rather than just a simple machine?
🔹️ the third prophecy Musk mentioned is the birth of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
It means general-purpose artificial intelligence, but until now, artificial intelligence has been a foolish genius that excels at only one thing at a time.
However, AGI means that a versatile talent who excels in all fields, like a person, emerges.
Musk is confident that this AGI will be achieved this year, in 2026.
For example, they hired staff for the restaurant, and they handle everything from cooking and serving to organizing ledgers and repairing machinery without any real trouble.
They even had the perfect staff who could have in-depth conversations with guests.
Musk warns that many jobs could be replaced by artificial intelligence in an instant.
This is not just a matter of job losses.
The value of labor itself is being shaken from its roots.
In our generation, it was common sense to work hard and sweat.
However, AGI works tirelessly 24 hours a day.
Moreover, this all-around employee can instantly replicate hundreds of millions of copies.
This artificial intelligence copies the knowledge my son has accumulated over more than 10 years of study to the entire world in just a few seconds.
If the AI at home provides more accurate consultations than a tax accountant or doctor, would we bother paying a high price to seek out a professional?
Probably not.
**Rather than simply storing knowledge in one's head, how well one can control artificial intelligence will become the new standard for wealth.
**But if artificial intelligence becomes smarter than all humans combined, what will the value of money be?
Here comes Musk's most absurd and hopeful prophecy.
Musk says firmly.
**Before 2030, artificial intelligence will surpass the total intelligence of all humanity.
There have been countless geniuses in our human history. Einstein, Newton, King Sejong, and the Great all living here are said to be one artificial intelligence that is smarter than the combined minds of all 8.23 billion people living around the world.
Musk's claim that the pace of artificial intelligence development is at a level where it can catch up with or surpass the progress that humans have made over a million years in just a few months.
The key point that 🔹️s is emphasizing is the improvement of the algorithm.
Simply put, it means that artificial intelligence itself learns how to become smarter.
In the past, people had to teach everything one by one, but now artificial intelligence can understand and learn everything on the internet on its own.
You can read all the books in libraries around the world in just a few minutes and fully understand their content.
Imagine a world like this. We have some difficult concerns and seek out an expert.
In the past, we traveled over 30,000 miles to find the smartest person in that field.
But now, the artificial intelligence in my smartphone in my pocket provides answers 100 times clearer than Einstein.
Even when you get sick, artificial intelligence, having read all the medical papers from around the world, makes a more accurate diagnosis than any other expert.
Musk believes that this level of intelligence will become as common as the air in our society.
Intelligence is no longer a precious gem, but rather a world where it comes out like tap water.
It may seem like a futile story for our parents who believe that knowledge is power and have worked hard to send their children to good universities, but Musk says not to be pessimistic.
🔹️ the fifth prophecy of the Musk is the destruction of prices.
Most of the money we pay when we buy something is actually the labor costs of the person who made it.
When you buy a piece of bread at a bakery, the cost of flour or sugar is not much.
The baker's salary, who worked from dawn to bake the bread deliciously, accounts for most of the price.
However, Musk says that this labor force will become almost free in the future.
Because artificial intelligence and robots will take their place.
The era is coming where the price of goods is determined solely by raw material costs and electricity.
This is referred to in professional terms as **de-monetization. It means that the power of money is gradually weakening.
It takes 11 years and costs hundreds of millions of won to train one doctor, but once an AI doctor is created, it costs almost nothing to copy.
Eleven years are compressed into just one second.
Musk described intelligence as a resource that can be used for free.
But there's a twist here.
You might say that it would be good if everything became cheaper, but...
What if the value of saving we have believed in our entire lives were to disappear?
If you've been saving and accumulating assets your whole life, but the value of money becomes less than it used to be.
The 500 million won that Manager Kim received as severance pay is now a large sum, but in a world where everything is almost free, no one knows how its value will change.
However, Musk predicts that this massive price collapse will fundamentally shake our society.
The era of earning money through 🔹️ labor is over, and technology is creating abundance.
But is falling prices really just a blessing?
Hidden here is a bizarre economic phenomenon that humanity has never experienced before.
Have you ever seen prices fall in your life?
You probably won't have much.
The saying that everything except my salary goes up felt like a truth in life.
But Musk predicts that the opposite world will now come.
**This is called structural deflation. Because AI robots are constantly pouring out items day and night...
Supply is exploding and prices are hitting rock bottom.
If there are exactly 10 apples in the market and 100 people want to buy them, the price of apples will skyrocket.
This is inflation. However, if a robot produces millions of apples, the price of the apples will inevitably approach zero won.
Musk confidently stated that productivity would improve to an extent that the government could not keep pace with the pace at which it spends money.
Is it really possible to live comfortably without earning 🔹️ money?
Musk proposes a much more powerful concept here that goes beyond universal basic income.
Baro
**It is a universally high-income society. You don't become rich because the government distributes a lot of money.
This means that the prices of all the goods and services we use have plummeted, resulting in an effect similar to how we make an enormous amount of money.
Currently, it's hard to live on just one million won for a month, but if the cost of living drops to one-tenth, that one million won will have the same value as the current ten million won.
This is the true meaning of universal high income that Musk speaks of.
The price collapse caused by scientific and technological innovation enriches everyone without emptying anyone's pockets.
However, Musk has issued a terrifying warning that our entire country could disappear before this rosy future even unfolds.
🔹️ last, this is the chilling prophecy that Musk has thrown towards our Republic of Korea. ↓
It has become commonplace to hear that our children are not getting married or having children.
Musk said that South Korea has already entered an irreversible phase of population collapse.
The birth rate is less than half of what is needed to maintain the population.
At this rate, he warned that most of the Korean population will disappear in 90 years.
Musk said to look at the sales figures of diapers to see the state of the nation's health.
Countries where adult diapers sell more than baby diapers are a warning sign.
However, our country already surpassed this point in 2017.
It's a scene where the sound of elderly people's canes has become more common than the sound of babies crying on the street.
So, is there really no hope for us?
**Musk says there are only three ways for Korea to survive.
**Artificial intelligence, robots, and life extension.
Machines replace human labor.
The logic is that those who remain should live longer and healthier lives.
Musk presented a very interesting perspective, especially regarding lifespan extension.
Changing the aging program in our bodies can significantly extend lifespan.
🔹️musk believes that humanity will soon reach a world where they live to 150 years old.
Let's summarize the story so far.
☞ first, the development of artificial intelligence is now at an uncontrollable level.
The value of labor will be shaken by the birth of AGI in 2026.
☞ second, technological innovation will bring about price destruction, creating a universal high-income society where we are freed from the slavery of money.
Third☞, Korea is facing a huge crisis of population collapse, but we can find new breakthroughs through artificial intelligence and life extension technology.
**Even now, don't be afraid of artificial intelligence and try using it like a friend.
And never stop studying for the rest of your life.
Lastly, I can only enjoy the benefits of all these technologies if my body is healthy.
No matter how rapidly the world changes, if we maintain our focus and prepare, there could be no better opportunity than this.
I sincerely hope you have the most prosperous twilight years, enjoying the blessings of technology, rather than a burden on your children in your old age.
