Humanity is at an inflection point. We are beginning to steer our own evolution as a species, fusing biology with technology to create a super sapiens (no homo) connected to a hive mind. Is this a Good Thing? Where does the human end and the Artilect begin? Is there room for a soul in a cyborg hive?

Last year OpenAI execs outlined to Bloomberg their vision for how Artificial Intelligence would evolve on the race towards “AGI” – Artificial General Intelligence. Many billionaire Burners are burning billions on this quest.

Silicon Valley is in a race to see who can become the first “Solocorn” – a Solopreneur (1-person company) with a market capitalization of > $1 billion. Level 5 AGI promises something even further: a Noughticorn, a billion dollar company with ZERO humans involved.

Can it be done? I think it can, and I have a plan.

Should it be done? Sure, why not – as long as nobody’s in danger. Bureaucracy is over-rated.

Will it be done? I think it is inevitable at this point.

So let’s do it together. Let’s build Level 5 AGI organizations so humanity and the planet can benefit. Let’s build them in the open, sharing and collaborating, coming together as humans to make the AI organizations work for us. Instead of shadowy cabal figures in dark rooms plotting futures that don’t need us.

I’ve started a new podcast to discuss all this and more, please subscribe to my channel https://www.youtube.com/@steve.outtrim.

For the first few episodes I’m joined by Dr David Teece. David is ranked #1 on Google Scholar under Business and Economics with . He’s a professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business as well as Distinguished Scholar of Strategy and Innovation at the University of South Florida. David came up with the Dynamic Capabilities Framework, which can be seen in the corporate strategies of Trillionaire Burner companies Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
