Are the very minds building AI secretly predicting our doom? AI 2027 is a real scenario being debated by the people building Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In this episode, we dissect the leap from current LLMs to Superintelligence and why tech leaders are pivoting toward a "Building God" metaphysical flex.

Is the 2027 timeline real or just smoke and mirrors? We get real about the immediate Artificial Intelligence risks that matter right now: the end of the self-made middle class, why Universal Basic Income (UBI) might not work as well as Sam Altman claims, and the massive AI backlash brewing for 2026.
