Starting from 2027, the largest "unemployment wave" in history may occur.
Recently, a very harsh judgment has been circulating in Silicon Valley: Humanity is about to enter a 15-year-long "hell mode."
This statement comes from former Google executive Mo Gawdat. He once led Google X Laboratory, became a millionaire at 29, and has almost fully experienced and driven the entire explosion cycle from the Internet to AI.
The focus is not on how "successful" he is, but on the fact that he is someone who has personally opened Pandora's box.
When someone like him tells you:
"Hell is coming" this warning is far more alarming than typical pessimism.
The "hell mode" he refers to centers on one key point:
This unemployment wave this time is unlike any previous technological revolution.
In past revolutions, although old jobs were destroyed, new jobs were always created. • Industrial Revolution: we lost weavers, but gained machinists • Internet Revolution: typists disappeared, but programmers and designers emerged
But this time, it may not be the case.
Because AI is not just about "replacing a specific job," but about fully replacing human participation in production itself.
If the production process no longer requires humans, then the issue is not just "what new skills you should learn," but whether society still needs so many people.
This is the truly chilling part.
