Is it too much to say that AI in the U.S. is about to render most Americans obsolete as a biological species, such that "for most things" in American society productivity comes without humans?

What do you personally think about such deep questions? Has rapid AI advancement in the U.S. over the past years surprised you? Are you not impressed? Do you have mixed feelings?

I feel like AI is just bold unsubstantiated claims.

I think that claims that AI will result in large economic changes and a lot of job losses for some are reasonable and probably true. It's like how past inventions such as television sets and ATMs caused different financial trends. The U.S. economic system is a fluid thing, and even just bad luck can cause unemployment.

However, claims that AI will result in the U.S. government ending, or human beings becoming obsolete in America, or other apocalypse type events seem to be sensationalism to me. And just aren't correct. These are my personal opinions.

Does this mean Bill Gates wrote the open letter to hobbyists for nothing?

The America that Gates wrote that letter to is different than the America that currently exists to a degree that's gigantic, though.

GPUs and datacenters must be paid for, but software ends up being mercilessly shared for nothing.

This is true. However, building physical infrastructure to store data and perform other functions has evolved significantly when one compares, say, the 2020s to the 1990s. The difficulty of copying and saving 1GB of information in 1995 versus 2025 reflects major changes in things such as microchip manufacturing.
