His answer is no \u2014 and in 2026, he&#8217;s watching the early evidence arrive. This year his CS department recorded a 28% drop in co-op placements. Prediction markets for AGI collapsed from 2045 to somewhere between 2028 and 2030. In this episode we cover what that actually means for your career, your money, and the companies racing to build what he believes cannot be controlled. If you&#8217;ve been using &#8220;AI&#8221; and &#8220;superintelligence&#8221; as the same word, this conversation will fix that.<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps:<br \/>\n0:00 Intro<br \/>\n1:14 Which Jobs Are Already Dead<br \/>\n4:38 The Broken Career Ladder<br \/>\n9:02 What Happens to Wealth With Free Labor?<br \/>\n14:24 AGI to Superintelligence: The Full Progression<br \/>\n15:31 Why We Can&#8217;t Code Ethics Into AI<br \/>\n19:50 Can Anyone Actually Stop This?<br \/>\n23:29 Roman&#8217;s Personal 5-Year Prediction<br \/>\n28:32 Where to Invest Before It&#8217;s Too Late<br \/>\n31:33 5 Jobs That Survive the AI Takeover<br \/>\n34:37 College in 2026: Worth It or Not?<\/p>\n<p>Links:<br \/>\n\ud83d\udce9 Follow my Newsletter: https:\/\/siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com\/subscribe?utm_source=youtube&amp;utm_medium=video&amp;utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&amp;utm_content=RomanYampolskiy<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 My Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/siliconvalleygirl\/ <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccc My Companies &amp; Products: https:\/\/Marinamogilko.co<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf9 Video brainstorming, research, and project planning &#8211; all in one place &#8211; https:\/\/partner.spotterstudio.com\/ideas-with-marina <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcbb Resources that helps my team and me grow the business:<br \/>\n&#8211; Email &amp; SMS Marketing Automation &#8211; https:\/\/your.omnisend.com\/marina<br \/>\n&#8211; AI app to work with docs and PDFs &#8211; https:\/\/www.chatpdf.com\/?via=marina<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf1Develop your YouTube with AI apps:<br \/>\n&#8211; AI tool to edit videos in a minutes https:\/\/get.descript.com\/fa2pjk0ylj0d<br \/>\n&#8211; Boost your view and subscribers on YouTube &#8211; https:\/\/vidiq.com\/marina<br \/>\n&#8211; #1 AI video clipping tool &#8211; https:\/\/www.opus.pro\/?via=7925d2<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcb0 Investment Apps:<br \/>\n&#8211; Top credit cards for free flights, hotels, and cash-back &#8211; https:\/\/www.cardonomics.com\/i\/marina<br \/>\n&#8211; Intuitive platform for stocks, options, and ETFs &#8211; https:\/\/a.webull.com\/Tfjov8wp37ijU849f8<\/p>\n<p>\u2b50 Download my English language workbook &#8211; https:\/\/bit.ly\/3hH7xFm<\/p>\n<p>I use affiliate links whenever possible (if you purchase items listed above using my affiliate links, I will get a bonus).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode is brought to you by Higgsfield \u2014 the AI video platform with Cinema Studio 2.5, built for creators [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
