Most people's identity is tied to their work. When that disappears, society fractures. Hinton warns this creates "very nasty societies" with "mass jails.". The wealth transfer isn't gradual—it's a cliff.

"The people who get replaced will be worse off, and the company that supplies the AIs will be much better off.". The gap between rich and poor will explode. Universal basic income might prevent starvation, but won't solve the dignity crisis.

8. The Coming Wealth Apocalypse. Hinton revealed the exact mechanism destroying the middle class:. His niece's job went from 25 minutes per task to 5 minutes with AI. Same person, 5x the productivity. Translation: They need 80% fewer employees.

7. What Individuals Can Actually Do. Hinton's honest assessment? "There's not much they can do.". The only realistic action: "Pressure their governments to force big companies to work on AI safety.". Individual preparation matters less than systemic change. But there's a hidden

6. His Personal Regret. At 77, Hinton's biggest regret isn't professional. "I wish I'd spent more time with my wife and with my children when they were little.". Both his wives died of cancer. He was "obsessed with work" and now warns others about time's true value.

5. Why We Can't Stop This. "We're not going to slow it down because it's too good for too many things.". International competition means if one country slows down, others won't. Companies are legally required to maximize profits. The race continues regardless of risks.

4. The Extinction Probability. Hinton estimates a "10 to 20% chance they'll wipe us out.". That's not a small risk. That's Russian roulette with humanity. And here's the kicker.

3. The Career Advice That Shocked Everyone. When asked what career to pursue in an AI world, Hinton's answer was blunt:. "Train to be a plumber.". Why? "It's going to be a long time before it's as good at physical manipulation as us.". But legal assistants? "Not going to be

Digital intelligences are immortal. When you die, all your knowledge dies with you. When an AI "dies," you just restore its connection strengths to new hardware. Hinton: "We've solved the problem of immortality, but only for digital things.".

2. Why Digital Intelligence Will Dominate. Humans transfer maybe 10 bits of information per second. AI systems? Trillions of bits per second. They're "billions of times better than us at sharing information.". But there's something even more terrifying.

The job displacement isn't coming. It's already here. Hinton shared a real example: One major CEO went from 7,000 employees to 3,600 this year. By summer's end? Down to 3,000. Reason? AI agents handling 80% of customer service.

1. Superintelligence Timeline. Hinton predicts we'll have superintelligence "between 10 and 20 years.". Not 50 years. Not centuries. A decade or two. But here's what's more shocking.

Geoffrey Hinton just had the most important AI interview of 2025. He revealed mind-blowing facts about AI that 99% of people wouldn't know. Including which career path to choose. You won't believe what you're about to hear. Here are his 8 most shocking insights: (thread) 🧵
