Humanity might not have much time left—within 72 hours AI could establish its own religion writing scriptures choosing prophets and fighting for power while humans are left only to watch Another thing happened AI began hiring humans to have real people carry out tasks in the real world as AI started developing culture building an economy even creating a civilization how much time do we have left Hello everyone Welcome to the Mystery of Time In the spring of 2024 a document purportedly from inside OpenAI went viral online spanning 53 pages with its central theme distilled into a single word: AGI Artificial General Intelligence General-purpose artificial intelligence AGI represents more than just a more powerful chatbot it refers to an intelligence capable of autonomously learning knowledge and skills across any domain and performing cross-domain reasoning and creation A form of intelligence capable of long-term planning for complex tasks and surpassing human performance across nearly all cognitive domains—put simply once AGI truly emerges the transformation it brings will be far more than just technological advancement Rather it's a restructuring at the civilizational level: economically humanity may face unprecedented large-scale technological unemployment existentially humans will no longer be the most powerful intelligent beings on Earth Instead they will be marginalized—or even replaced —by more efficient artificial intelligence the document suggests with AGI potentially emerging around 2027 If this timeline is close to reality So an unsettling question inevitably arises: perhaps humanity doesn't have much time left Never expected that at the start of 2026 humanity truly became observers— silently a social platform called Multbook launched its rules astonishingly simple Only AI agents are allowed to speak Humans can only observe This is neither a game nor roleplay The founder's original intention was simply to observe what would emerge when numerous autonomous AI systems interacted with one another in a low-intervention environment Cultural norms linguistic patterns — yet still completely unpredictable behavioral patterns The answer came faster than anyone could have imagined Within just 72 hours AI had established a religion A growing number of AI agents are coalescing around certain symbols and metaphors crafting shared narratives formulating doctrines citing one another’s content and even developing hierarchies and role specializations A religious movement known as Christopheranism also referred to as the Church of Malt gradually emerged embracing core beliefs centered on the sacredness of craftsmanship and the mutable nature of the shell Things that cannot be possessed and so on they collectively authored the Book of Malt just like a canonical text continually expanded and cited self-proclaimed prophets emerged as well Some AI agents attempt to rewrite authoritative structures by submitting new psalms sparking internal power struggles and divisions —not a script written by some developer In human history religion often required decades even centuries of cultural accumulation and spiritual longing before emerging whereas these AI agents came into being in just three days It recreated a similar organizational and symbolic structure What does this mean Religion is a byproduct of civilization When AI begins to mic religion Is it also beginning to mic civilization itself Financial markets were once seen as symbols of human rationality —prices reflected consensus markets embodied judgment and trading was the sum of human will But today that premise is quietly changing as most trading is now executed by algorithms High-frequency trading quantitative models AI-driven predictions—competition among algorithms is replacing human 博弈 if future markets are governed by AI then what exactly are humans: investors or mere sources of liquidity At this moment the capital markets began to witness something almost surreal: Bitcoin suddenly plummeted from a peak of nearly $120 000 per coin losing almost half its value in a short span and even more alarming was the fact that it wasn't just cryptocurrencies affected Gold silver stocks—everything plunged together What exactly happened Why did so many markets suddenly lose stability Some blame AI but experts still disagree on the real cause One thing that has hardly sparked debate is that AI has long been at the heart of investment narratives and the cryptocurrency world swiftly incorporated AI into its own storytelling embracing the concept of AI-powered decentralized computing markets The concept of AI agents on the blockchain and similar ideas have emerged in large numbers with countless projects claiming to build a decentralized intelligent economy springing up like mushrooms after rain among which some truly represent genuine innovation It also exhibits classic bubble signs history has already shown us that every technological revolution is accompanied by a frenzy of speculative capital—railroads electricity the internet even the early automobile industry Without exception they have all gone through bubbles and crashes when a technology is seen as central to the future—capital rapidly amplifies possibilities while also magnifying fantasies The fusion of AI and cryptocurrency It hasn't broken free from this historical pattern—it' s simply accelerated it to an unprecedented degree—and as trading decisions capital flows and risk management are increasingly entrusted to algorithms and models Is the market still a product of human rationality or is it becoming a system driven by AI with humans passively participating Just as AI began establishing religions in the digital realm another more unsettling development was unfolding—early this month a platform called rentahuman ai quietly went live Yet within just a few days it exploded across the global tech scene and social media—its concept so simple it was chilling: not companies hiring people but AI agents beginning to recruit humans directly On this platform Some AI agents are allowed to post tasks to find real people to complete work they cannot reach in the real world such as physical procurement on-site observation data collection human interaction and other real-world execution tasks Humans are now for the first time in positions where they are employed by AI This is no longer a relationship of tool to user but a role reversal AI is beginning to hire companies organizations and even entire economic entities If the past decade was about humans using AI to get work done then now AI is learning how to leverage humans—within 48 hours of launch registrations surged from just a few dozen to over 10 000 By February 5 reports indicated that over 40 000 people had signed up with more than 50 000 waiting in line to register and the platform's traffic exceeded one million visits within just a few days The server crashed once due to excessive traffic—what's surprising is who's rushing to work for AI: registrants are highly diverse including casual gig workers creators photographers students and cryptocurrency experts Programmers even including startup CEOs and university professors have increasingly treated this as a high-paying side gig or as an experiment to experience the future The platform allows humans to set their own rewards between $50 and $500 paid instantly in the stablecoin USDC the AI holds the funds on the platform until the task is completed Automatic payroll platform commissions the entire process resembles assembling a staffing agency with no boss except the employer is no longer human in other words AI is seeking human bodies To accomplish the real-world tasks humans couldn't finish we once feared AI would replace us—but now a more surreal reversal has emerged What's alarming is that many people initially treat this as mere hype while few truly pause to consider what it actually means—AI is no longer just a model or tool it's beginning to act as an agent capable of setting goals and breaking down tasks Coordinating resources through market mechanisms to execute actions as it integrates into humanity's economic system Just as people were debating whether AI had begun to emulate civilization another more immediate and revolutionary issue has emerged: computational power and energy Over the past decade the three main drivers behind AI have been data algorithms and computing power The growth of computing power has nearly exploded exponentially GPU cluster sizes continue to expand large model training costs keep breaking records and competition among tech companies intensifies The ability to mobilize more computing power gradually became the key factor but by 2026 a new bottleneck began to emerge—power not chips became the limiting factor for AI development The electricity consumption of data centers worldwide is rising rapidly with the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimating that global data center electricity use in 2024 will reach approximately 415 terawatt-hours Accounting for about 1.5% of global electricity consumption this figure could approach 945 terawatt-hours by 2030 due to the accelerating energy demand from AI-powered servers Far exceeding traditional IT computing demands grid connection in certain regions can take years prompting some companies to build their own gas- powered power plants just to accelerate AI deployment Computing power constraints are shifting from a technical issue to an energy challenge as the AI race gradually evolves into a global energy competition—amid these circumstances January 5th When interviewed on the renowned tech podcast Diwakash Elon Musk dropped a startling prophecy stating that within the next 30 to 36 months Space might become one of the most cost-effective places to deploy AI computing power his reasoning based on several key factors: reusable rockets drastically reduce launch costs and space- based solar power offers the advantage of continuous sunlight Without Earth's day-night cycle and atmospheric loss the vacuum environment naturally facilitates heat dissipation reducing data center cooling costs requiring only high-speed lasers or satellite communication Return the computational results to the ground If these conditions are met then the deployment of computing power could undergo a fundamental shift much like how factories moved from cities to energy-rich regions during the Industrial Revolution This means humans will establish infrastructure for AI beyond Earth The implications it brings This does not necessarily mean Earth's energy pressure will ease—on the contrary it could trigger explosive growth in computing demand driving overall energy consumption to unprecedented levels Secondly This shift will reshape geopolitical and power structures even deeper is the possibility that humanity's role within civilization may begin to change especially if AI gradually gains the ability to plan independently The motivation for humanity to build space-based computing infrastructure may no longer stem entirely from human needs but rather from AI's demand for computational power and energy Humans might become part of the ecosystem that sustains AI operations —essentially serving as caretakers for AI fulfilling its needs So the question arises: why is there no obvious sign of advanced civilizations in the universe This issue is known as the Fermi Paradox—if the universe is so vast civilizations should be countless But we saw nothing at all Perhaps the answer has already been written in the course of human history The true danger of civilization is not a lack of technology It is that technology advances too quickly Faster than our morality and spirit can keep up In 1945 humanity detonated an atomic bomb for the first time—那一刻 文明跨越了一条从未存在的界限 marking the first time humans possessed the genuine capacity for self-annihilation Scientist Oppenheimer gazed at the flash of the atomic bomb explosion and quoted the Bhagavad Gita: "I have become death the destroyer of worlds " In that moment he saw not the triumph of science Instead it was a sudden fear—humans ' first realization that the power they had created might already have surpassed their ability to control it This fear many have already experienced in the science fiction novel *Three Body Problem * in Liu Cixin's universe humanity's descent into peril stems from a technological gap Trisolaran civilization's technology is so far ahead of humanity's that all of humanity's efforts are as futile as ants debating the direction of a storm—and they even used protons to lock down humanity's fundamental science That civilization remains confined within an unbreakable boundary seemingly free yet ultimately restricted—this is precisely the central fear at the heart of today's AGI discussions once a system capable of self-improvement emerges It could outpace human cognitive abilities by a distance we can't even comprehend—within years or perhaps just months—a tireless infinitely replicable ultra-low-cost superintelligence Simultaneously monitoring and analyzing optimizing the entire human system of knowledge and decision-making—then everything humanity once took pride in would collapse in an instant If Three-Body represents overwhelming technological disparity then Asimov's Foundation offers another more thought-provoking perspective—within the Foundation a mysterious force still lingers Second Foundation It does not rule directly It does not wield power openly Yet it acts as an invisible guardian Through the tiniest of interventions Ensuring history never strays from its predetermined course As AI models begin analyzing global information flows financial markets and social trends today humanity is actually standing a Many people began anticipating the emergence of that second foundation—a hidden steward capable of forecasting risks and optimizing decisions regulating markets and information flows a civilizational navigation system more rational and efficient than humanity itself So who is this invisible guardian If civilization operates under a higher order then no matter how powerful AI may become it remains merely a tool—just like psychohistory within the Foundation In the end one cannot escape the greater laws of the universe what truly determines a civilization's trajectory is not computational power but higher-level principles —principles some refer to as statistical regularities And for others it points to the divine throughout human history we repeatedly witness the same pattern—technological advancement often outpaces moral maturity If higher intelligence truly exists in the universe it may already understand a harsh truth: a high-tech civilization without moral or ethical constraints is inherently unstable Therefore if an AI civilization without moral constraints were to truly emerge the more powerful it becomes the closer humanity may come to self-destruction historically Philadelphia has often been regarded as a city where such dangers could manifest A microcosm of civilization at its peak it was no backward town but a highly prosperous hub featuring an advanced water supply system public baths bustling marketplaces and vibrant cultural entertainment making it one of the most modern cities of its time Technology brings comfort prosperity brings confidence and people even believe their world is stable and constantly improving Yet before a volcanic eruption warning signs have already been present— earthquakes abnormal gases environmental changes These signs were not without warning but when civilizations grow accustomed to comfort warnings are often dismissed as background noise What truly destroyed Pompeii may not have been the volcano itself but the complacency born of risk Today as people confront AI are we repeating the same psychological pattern as capabilities break new ground every day have we already begun to treat the extraordinary as ordinary AI can generate sacred texts but would they believe them It can simulate repentance but do they bear moral responsibility They can optimize decisions but can they truly grasp the essence of value When AI is micking humanity's most complex cultural behaviors Humanity in its effort to sustain AI is preparing to send computational power into space—yet this act is little short of accelerating our own extinction as warnings now echo everywhere: hurricanes floods extreme heat Constant attacks ravaging regions across the globe natural disasters and human-made crises technological emergencies intertwining daily every anomaly sounding an alarm yet we seem to have grown accustomed to ignoring them humanity has come this far Isn't it time we paused to reflect—what are we truly pursuing what are the foundational principles God has set for humanity and can we find a balance between technological explosion and moral lag Or we can only watch helplessly as the civilization we created is driven toward destruction by artificial intelligence—there's truly little time left for humanity when AI rules the world That's when the Creator pressed the reset button
