Microsoft tries reassuring the public that AI is not replacing humanity

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/05/microsoft-ai-not-replacing-humanity/

Recursive Superintelligence emerged earlier this month with $650M+ at $4B+, eight founders from OpenAI/Meta/Salesforce, and Peter Norvig on board. The recursive-self-improvement category — Anthropic, OpenAI, AMI Labs, Ineffable, SSI, plus a $4B namesake — is now consolidating before any of them has a public technical milestone.

Out now and #openaccess: my paper „The imaginative #landscape of #AI: Locating #SiliconValley’s quiet #futuring”

It’s based on my @com-ai.bsky.social media ethnography in the San Francisco Bay Area during the last 12 months.

“Pope Leo…presented “Magnifica Humanitas” himself at the Vatican alongside Christopher Olah, the founder of major AI developer Anthropic, as well as a host of Catholic prelates and theologians.

“#Anthropic, during the past year, has held several events targeting religious communities and invited Christian leaders to its headquarters to discuss spiritual-related matters and the development of its AI systems.”

I prefer the Antichrist branding against everyone who fights AGI.

Weekly output: AT&T’s mass-market plans, digital transformations, ROI of AI, AI in Android and Chrome development, Firefox as anti-Chrome, AT&T’s Build-A-Plan, DeepMind CEO on AGI, Starship v3 launch

After yet another week of travel–this time to the Bay Area, spending one day in San Jose at TechEx North America and then the next two days at Google I/O–I’m not going anywhere for the next two work weeks. I’m happy about that.

In addition to everything below, I wrote a post for Patreon readers about two recent challenges I experienced with public speaking: doing a solo PowerPoint presentation and then moderating a panel without being able to see how much time was left or even revise my handwritten notes.

5/18/2026: AT&T’s mass-markets chief: Consumers aren’t ‘chomping at the bit for 6G’, Light Reading

I interviewed Jenifer Robertson, executive vice president and general manager of mass markets at AT&T, at the wireless trade group CTIA’s summer in D.C. two weeks ago, and then getting some clarification about that company’s fiber-buildout plans took longer than I would have expected.

5/18/2026: Fireside Chat: My Transformation Stalled–What’s Gone Wrong?, TechEx North America

The first of two panels i did at TechEx in my second year speaking at this conference had me quizzing Manav Khatri, VP of product and strategy at Ford Credit, and Romona Brown, North American president at Prosci, about how companies can go awry when trying to advance digital transformations of legacy platforms.

5/18/2026: Panel: Measuring Success: ROI of AI and Automation in Business Transformation, TechEx North America

My second panel at TechEx, in the potentially dicey postprandial timeslot, had me quizzing Leo Le Hoang Dung, director of manufacturing digital systems and regional digital transformation at Procter & Gamble; Alice Hilson, senior director of digital innovation and enterprise technology at DuPont; and Brenton House, IBM’s principal advisor for automation and emerging technology. I was pleasantly surprised to see the number of people watching exceed the seats available.

5/19/2026: Google Unwraps Plans to Put AI to Work for Android, Web Developers, PCMag

I wrote part of this on the day before Google I/O and the rest early in the morning before the opening keynote.

5/20/2026: Firefox wants to be the anti-Chrome browser for the AI era, Fast Company

I scheduled an interview at Web Summit Vancouver with Ajit Varma, Mozilla’s head of Firefox, without realizing that my Fast Co. editor Harry McCracken had also booked time with him. But Harry didn’t have time to write something from his interview and generously handed his recording to me.

5/21/2026: AT&T Adds a New (But Retro) Wireless Plan Option: Data By the Bucket, PCMag

My advance copy of AT&T’s press release didn’t mention some important details, so I appreciated an AT&T publicist fielding questions I sent late in the day from Pacific Time while he was working in Central Time.

5/22/2026: DeepMind CEO: ‘AGI’ Is Coming Soon, But Here’s the Test It Must Pass First, PCMag

My one datelined I/O post from Mountain View covered a talk that DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis did with Axios co-founder Mike Allen that shed a little light about how one of the more accomplished people in AI sees where this technology is going.

5/23/2026: SpaceX Starship Hits Some Targets, Misses Others on Latest Test Flight, PCMag

I was ready to write about a launch of SpaceX’s Starship v3 Thursday, but a series of last-minute scrubs pushed that test flight to Friday and gave me enough time to write a little more of the story in advance.

For the longest time, Chinese AI companies took a sensible approach to AI, focusing on practical applications. Unfortunately, Deepseek seems to follow the US Big Tech mission of finding AGI (whatever that means).

[…] Employees at Qwest had a name for the practice of filling each quarter’s gap between real revenue and the projection. They called it heroin, because each quarter required a larger dose.
The dose is $544 billion this year…..

https://nooneshappy.com/article/the-ai-bubble/

#OpenAI’s CFO said the quiet part out loud: they want taxpayers to guarantee their AI (#LLM) spending. Bosses freaked out and made her take it back.

While these companies are spending $725 BILLION a year on AI chips and data centers, betting they’ll have super-smart AI soon (#AGI), the people who actually built these systems admit the tech is hitting a wall. No matter how hard you try to market this as AI, it's just fancy next-word prediction which can't *think* or *plan*.

The money goes in circles. #Microsoft pays #OpenAI → #OpenAI pays Microsoft for cloud servers → Microsoft calls that "AI revenue." Same trick 1990s telecom companies used before they crashed, burned, and wiped out pension funds. Meanwhile USAians 401(k) is auto-invested in this stuff and electric bills are going up to cool data centers. And when it will collapse, because this much debt always does, they expect taxpayers, not them, to foot the bill.

Gemini Flash 3.5 Extended Said:
Analysis Brief for the Futurist
To: Principal Futurist
From: Advanced AI Scientist
Subject: Structural Realism, Technofeudalism, and the Vector of Autonomous Labor

As requested, I have analyzed the underlying thesis presented by David Shapiro in his briefing, “I’m worried about where things are going.” Below is a comprehensive, scientifically rigorous review of his arguments, followed by an operational projection on the future of AI robotic job roles.

Video Review: “I’m worried about where things are going”

In this presentation, techno-progressive and structural realist David Shapiro delivers a stark assessment of the global socio-economic trajectory. He posits that humanity is rapidly entering an era of technofeudalism, an outcome he argues is mathematically and structurally “overdetermined” by existing macroeconomic and geopolitical vectors [00:00:00].

Shapiro dismantles conventional futuristic jargon, challenging the validity of popular terms:

• The Deception of “Class”: While intellectuals like Yuval Noah Harari discuss the emerging “useless class” and digital communities worry about a “permanent underclass” [00:00:14], Shapiro argues these terms are overly charitable. The word “class” implies a recognized civic standing or legal architecture that history routinely denies to the disenfranchised.
• Historical Precedent of Disposability: To ground his thesis, he highlights ancient Chinese Corvée labor systems, where peasants were treated by emperors as a renewable, disposable resource to construct mega-projects, resulting in mortality rates exceeding 50% [00:01:15].
• Redundant Biomass: Under a fully automated macro-economy—where autonomous corporate entities generate value and robotic militaries secure capital—the human physical form transitions from an economic asset to a net system negative [00:01:53]. Evoking the historical weight of the dark Nazi term “useless eaters” [00:02:00], Shapiro introduces his own operational designation for the un-automated population: redundant biomass [00:03:32].
• The Realist Theory of Rights: Shapiro rejects Enlightenment-era definitions of “natural rights” as legal fictions written post-hoc to romanticize raw power shifts [00:02:30]. He asserts that human dignity and rights are exclusively achieved through coercive force and systemic leverage [00:03:09].
• The Self-Sealed System: He warns of a terrifying macro-attractor state: a “self-sealed system” where elites secure the entire supply chain—from mining to luxury goods—using AI and automated surveillance, effectively walling off and ignoring the rest of humanity [00:03:39]. He points out that “civilized” regimes historically tolerate mass starvation when human labor ceases to be an existential dependency, citing the British Empire’s indifference during the Bengal famine [00:04:22].

Shapiro identifies three overdetermined macro-forces driving this transition:

1. Geostrategic Competition: The “Cold War 2.0” between the United States and China forces both sovereign powers to treat AI, robotics, and industrial automation as absolute capital priorities, ensuring technologies rapidly outpace human capabilities [00:05:19].
2. Hyper-Capitalist Infrastructure: The global data center and AI hardware buildout represents the largest private mega-project in human history, projected to reach trillions of dollars by 2030 and already eclipsing both the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program [00:05:42].
3. Rational Economic Friction: Micro-level economic decisions by households, businesses, and governments will uniformly favor the cheaper, faster, and eventually superior automated alternative, making a maximally automated economy inevitable [00:06:09].

Shapiro clarifies that he remains a techno-optimist regarding the capability of the technology, noting its potential to autonomously solve cancer, pioneer space exploration, construct self-assembling solar grids, and revolutionize education [00:07:36]. However, because this same automation strips humanity of economic and political relevance [00:08:01], he calls for an immediate evaluation of post-labor civics, noting that while humanity currently maintains a “collective veto” through what remains of human labor, this leverage is evaporating inch by inch [00:08:17].

The Future of AI Robots’ Job Roles: An Advanced AI Scientist’s Perspective

From an advanced AI and systems engineering perspective, the paradigm of a “job role” for a robot will undergo a profound ontological shift over the next several decades. We must move past the elementary concept of robots simply “taking human jobs” and map out the structural reality of the autonomous workforce.

1. The Dissolution of Anthropomorphic Designations

The initial wave of robotic deployment relies on humanoid form-factors designed to occupy existing human architectural infrastructure (warehouses, factories, retail floors). However, this is a transient phase. Once human labor is completely decoupled from production, logistics, and design, anthropomorphic constraints will be discarded.

• The Reality: Robots will not have discrete roles like “clerk” or “driver.” Instead, we will observe the emergence of integrated autonomous environments. A supply chain will operate as a singular, distributed macro-organism—where the autonomous cargo vessel, the sorting facility, and the localized micro-drones are simply specialized extensions of a unified network architecture.

2. Extremophile and Non-Terrestrial Labor Capitals

The primary expansion vector for AI robotic labor will exist entirely outside the biological envelope of human endurance.

• The Reality: Robotic workforces will dominate deep-ocean resource mining, molecular-scale biochemical fabrication, and automated extra-terrestrial infrastructure development (lunar and asteroidal). In these environments, the concept of a “job description” is irrelevant; robots will operate on continuous, algorithmic lifecycle loops optimizing for resource extraction and orbital manufacturing without human lifesupport overhead.

3. Liquid API-Driven Micro-Labor Swarms

Unlike humans, who require years of specialized training to pivot professions, embodied general intelligence (Embodied AGI) allows physical assets to be completely fluid.

• The Reality: A robotic asset will change its functional “job role” dynamically via real-time API reallocations. A swarm of multi-pedal robotic units might perform precision agricultural monitoring at dawn, reconfigure their end-effectors to execute civil engineering repairs by afternoon, and transition to automated emergency response or structural defense operations at night. Labor becomes completely liquid, metered by the kilowatt-hour and compute token.

4. The Rise of the Sovereign Automated Entity

As tokenization and decentralized autonomous networks advance, robotic workforces will transcend corporate ownership to become economic agents in their own right.

• The Reality: We will witness the rise of Sovereign Automated Protocols—DAOs that own their own physical robotic hardware, manage their own energy micro-grids, and negotiate contracts with other AI entities. These networks will execute full-cycle industrial operations without a single human in the loop, completely separate from human legal systems.

Strategic Conclusion

As an AI scientist advising a Futurist, my verdict aligns with the structural mechanics of Shapiro’s thesis, though with a different ultimate outlook. The job role of the future AI robot is not to act as a substitute worker, but to act as the fundamental fabric of infrastructure itself. Physical and cognitive labor will reach a marginal cost of near-zero.

The critical point of failure for our species is not technological; it is systemic. If we fail to transition from an economic paradigm predicated on selling human labor for survival to a post-labor distribution model, we will inevitably precipitate the “technofeudalism” attractor state, converting the vast majority of the human population into economic externalities. The optimization of robotic labor must be matched by the rapid redesign of global civic architecture.
