Imagine it’s 2027. A new country appears overnight. 50 million citizens, every one smarter than any Nobel Prize winner who has ever lived. They think 10 to 100 times faster than any human. They never sleep. They can use the internet, control robots, direct experiments, and operate anything with a digital interface. What would a national security advisor say?
Amodei says the answer is obvious: “the single most serious national security threat we’ve faced in a century, possibly ever.”
He thinks we’re building that country. He wrote a 20,000-word essay about it last month, framing this moment as a test of whether humanity is mature enough to handle what it’s creating.
My advice, after reading this message from a Harvard colleague? Either help your children learn the AI tools, or get them on a fast track to be a plumber, electrician, or heavy equipment operator, none of which will be “replaced” anytime soon by autonomous methodology.
