Sam Altman’s 2030 predictions

Summary — 

1. We’ve crossed the “superintelligence threshold”

Altman believes we have already passed the event horizon for digital superintelligence.

Even though its full impact isn’t yet obvious, people already rely on AI for daily tasks, and in some areas AI is smarter than humans.

2. Step-by-step AI development

2025 – “Thinking” AI agents that can handle complex tasks like coding will become mainstream.

2026 – AI will be able to make original discoveries and innovations.

2027 – Robots capable of performing real-world tasks will arrive.

3. Massive productivity boost for individuals

By the 2030s, the average person will be far more productive compared to 2020—especially those who embrace AI tools early.

4. Life will still feel familiar

Even with rapid tech changes, people will still enjoy family, creativity, play, and nature. The changes will be powerful but may feel gradual in daily life.

5. Impact on jobs and the economy

Entire categories of jobs may disappear.

AI will become cheaper and more widely available as robots and automation build their own infrastructure.

Ensuring safety and alignment with human values before mass deployment is critical.

6. Gradual but profound change

Altman expects people to adapt to change quickly, just as we’ve adapted to other technological shifts. The fundamentals of human joy will remain, but opportunities and challenges will be reshaped by AI.

---

In short:

Altman predicts that AI will surpass human-level capabilities in many fields within this decade, reshape productivity, and introduce powerful new tools—while still leaving the core human experience intact. However, safety, fairness, and ethical design will be essential to avoid risks.

Congress Party involved in Parliament Attack?

1. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated on May 21, 1991, and exactly one month later, on June 21, 1991, an NGO named 'Rajiv Gandhi Foundation' was established.

Yes, just one month after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination.

2. In 1993, Sonia Gandhi opened a branch of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation in Britain, and the British government passed a resolution regarding it in her presence.

3. In 1993, Sonia Gandhi went to the USA for work related to the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation. The specifics of the work are unknown.

4. In the same year, 1993, George Soros established the Open Society Foundation in New York.

5. In December 1994, an NGO named Forum of Democratic Leaders in the Asia-Pacific (FDL-AP) was started.

6. Among other goals, the main objective of this NGO was 'Independent Kashmir'!

Yes, you read it right, 'Independent Kashmir'!

The following thread is shocking, stay tuned.

7. As the 'President of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation,' Sonia Gandhi was the co-chair of this forum. Read again, as the President of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation!

Almost all members of FDL-AP were pro-American!

8. The Soros Foundation (Open Society Foundation) was one of the major funders of this NGO.

Yes, the Soros Foundation was funding an NGO with the objective of Free Kashmir, and Sonia was involved in it.

Now, there is some shocking information related to the Kandahar hijacking, read on.

9. The Kandahar plane hijacking incident happened in 1999. Before reaching Kandahar, the plane landed in the UAE for refueling. UAE officials allowed the American ambassador to enter the airport but not the Indian ambassador.

Isn't this shocking?

10. After that, the terrorists took the plane to Kandahar, Afghanistan, which was under Taliban control at the time.

Another fact is that the USA was supporting the Taliban in those days to counter Russia.

11. Initially, the hijackers demanded the release of 36 terrorists, but after negotiations, the release of three terrorists, including Masood Azhar, was agreed upon.

The name of a terrorist 'Latif' was also on the list of 36, but he was not released.

Remember this name Latif and read the following thread.

12. The FBI had a special interest in Masood Azhar. The FBI 'interviewed' him several times between 1995 and 1998 when he was in an Indian jail!

Note: 'Interviewed'... Whom? Terrorist Masood Azhar? By whom? The American intelligence agency FBI.

13. After his release, terrorist Masood Azhar reached Pakistan with the help of ISI and started the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, which also aims for 'Free Kashmir'!

Does 'Free Kashmir' ring a bell from this thread? Read on.

14. In June 2001, Sonia Gandhi, along with her associates (Manmohan Singh, Natwar Singh, Murli Deora, Jairam Ramesh), went to the USA for five days. But before reaching there, she toured Britain and Iceland.

Both countries are Tax Havens!

15. In the USA, Sonia Gandhi had a 'closed-door' meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations and Henry Kissinger!

16. What is the Council on Foreign Relations and its power? To understand this, look at this photo.

These are the people who are part of it and make decisions about everything—even the President of the USA!

After this, you will also understand the role of social media and media!

17. According to Sonia Gandhi's associate Natwar Singh, Sonia Gandhi expected to meet very special people there. Who these special people were, he did not disclose.

18. A few months later, on December 13, 2001, Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists attacked the Indian Parliament.

When the Parliament attack happened, Sonia Gandhi had already left the Parliament!

19. After winning the 2004 elections, Sonia Gandhi formed an NAC to run the government.

Harsh Mander and Arundhati Roy (remember Pallavi Joshi's character in the movie #TheKashmirFiles?) were part of this NAC!

Interestingly, both of them worked for George Soros in India!

20. An NGO, 'HRLN,' actively works with the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation for urban Naxalites and separatists.

Even this NGO received funding from Soros and the USA.

After coming to power in 2004, Sonia Gandhi's first decision was to repeal the anti-terrorism law POTA.

21. On May 28, 2010, the UPA government released 25 terrorists as a goodwill gesture. Yes, 25 as a goodwill gesture.

The most shocking part was that 'Latif' was also released, whose name was on the list with Masood Azhar but was not released at that time.

22. According to an RTI report, the government has no record of Sonia Gandhi's foreign trips between 2004 and 2014.

23. After 2011, Sonia Gandhi made several trips to the USA for 'medical' reasons.

This information was also provided by Congress spokespersons, and that too after she left India!

24. Similarly, on November 30, 2015, she went to the USA for a 'medical checkup' for three days.

25. On January 2, 2016, the Pathankot attack happened.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FpiLqeNjo/

Do you know who the main terrorist of that attack was? The same 'Latif'! who was released by the UPA government in 2010 as a goodwill gesture!

"It’s no surprise that the Congress Party, led by the Gandhi family, has no hesitation in compromising the interests of our beloved nation.

Be Aware and spread it for others to know the hidden realities
