Big Tech.

I challenge Big Tech because power without accountability stops serving people and starts controlling them. I back innovation and reject monopoly. I name the real risks out loud: AI concentration, platform dependency, surveillance, and manufactured truth. This is not anti-technology. It is pro-human. Technology can empower or control society, and the only thing that controls technology is us, the people. I fear people, not technology. The same tools that can lift a billion lives can also cage them. Someone has to say which.

No, it is the opposite. Sam Altman's AGI in 2027, Zuckerberg's metaverse, Musk's robotaxis "next year" every year since 2019: those are share-price defense systems with a keynote attached. I have no stock to pump and no book to sell. My 2050 call is dated, numbered, and sits on a public scoreboard where anyone can grade it.

Because the grid ran out. Meta signs multi-gigawatt nuclear deals. Google, Microsoft and Eni lock fusion offtakes for plants that do not exist yet. Commonwealth Fusion builds with Siemens and Nvidia. NuScale ships small reactors. Form Energy and Crusoe bury 12 gigawatt-hours of iron-air batteries next to AI data centers.

Neither: AI does not destroy all jobs, and it does not change nothing. Both stories are lies. Mainstream media sells "AI destroys all jobs" because fear sells clicks. Big Tech CEOs sell "AI changes nothing" to keep you calm and invested. I have no stock to pump and no panic to sell. The truth is 30% of the routine work by 2030, and a redesign of the rest. The receipt: Amazon passed 1 million robots in 2025, 5 times its 2019 fleet, while its headcount shrank to 1.56 million.

Because no sponsor, employer, government, or stock price pays for my predictions. I take no propaganda money and no sponsorships, not from brands, not from governments, not from the deep state. No ads, no collabs. Uncensored. Uncut. I am pro-decentralization, pro freedom of speech, and pro power to the people. Most futurists are sponsored or carry a hidden agenda or ideology. They wrote several books. I wrote 0 books and made 5 exits. My Prediction Accuracy Rate (PAR) is 84%, on the record. Mainstream media is full of propaganda and bribed journalism. Big Tech runs shady algorithms, censoring, fake fact-checkers, and fading entire social media channels to black. The world deserves an independent second opinion. I have been that second opinion for 25 years. The seer you can buy is the seer you cannot trust.

No, the metaverse is not dead. It is misunderstood. I predict the durable version will be many interconnected digital layers powered by AR, XR, and AI, not 1 escapist cartoon world. Every Big Tech CEO seems obsessed with the movie Ready Player One. Don't get high on your own supply. Meta burned more than $80 billion on legless avatars since 2020, according to its own Reality Labs results, and cut more than 11,000 jobs in November 2022. Then it quietly pivoted to smart glasses that actually sell. I called the rebrand a mega misstep by Mark Zuckerberg on 31 October 2021. Apple never said metaverse once and built Vision Pro anyway. The real metaverse is spatial, practical, and layered onto reality: navigation in your glasses, a digital twin of your factory, a concert you attend from your couch. Never confuse explosive adoption of a feature with a platform shift, and never confuse a bad first product with a dead idea. It arrives quietly, then shows up everywhere.

The future of nuclear energy is a comeback, and Big Tech is paying for it. I predict advanced nuclear returns to the center of serious energy strategy because reliable round-the-clock power stays essential to feed AI, industry, and growth, even as renewables expand. Follow the money: Microsoft is restarting Three Mile Island to power its data centers, Google signed for small modular reactors with Kairos, Amazon backs X-energy, and Meta went shopping for up to 4 gigawatts of nuclear. Sun and wind alone cannot power a 24/7 intelligence economy. Small modular reactors, factory-built plants the size of a warehouse, move from taboo to indispensable. The energy math forces the rethink. Math always wins.

Stand out. Fitting in is a career. Standing out is a life. Fitting in means editing yourself down until the room approves and the algorithm is happy. Standing out means keeping the edges that made you dangerous. I was fired from a football club and a university for the edges. Those same edges built 5 companies and 24 social startups. Big Tech monetizes the first group: 1 feed, 1 opinion, 1 dopamine loop. The second group gets punished, until the day the room needs exactly what they have. Then they call it vision and put it on a keynote poster.

AGI is AI that performs most intellectual tasks at or above human level. I call it the most disruptive technology in human history because it hits every industry, profession, and institution at once. Past breakthroughs upgraded single sectors. AGI upgrades cognition itself. It does not just change what we build. It changes who, and what, does the thinking. My forecast: AGI before 2030. Follow the money, not the CEOs: the hyperscalers plan $700 billion of AI spending in 2026 alone. Nobody bets that kind of capital on a maybe. The buildout is the timeline. Since 29 September 2026 the White House and the Big Tech bros call all of this "Super Intelligence" (SI). The name changed. The timeline did not.

ASI is intelligence that surpasses the best human minds in nearly every field. I treat it as a civilization-level event, not a product launch. It could transform science, medicine, economics, and governance while raising control questions humanity has never faced. ASI is the line where the tool out-thinks the toolmaker. Cross it wide awake. Do not confuse ASI with the White House label. Since 29 September 2026 the US government and the Big Tech CEOs call plain AI "Super Intelligence" (SI). A rebrand is not a breakthrough. My forecast: ASI between 2030 and 2040. And my doctrine does not change at the line: the only thing that controls technology is us, the people. I fear people, not technology.

Tech for Good means using technology to empower people, not to control them. Technology can empower or control humanity. Tech for good or tech for greed. Choose. I fear people, not technology. The same AI can cure cancer or sell your kids a feed of nonsense at 2 a.m. Big Tech built the second one first. Meta's innovation graveyard is full of "connecting the world" slogans. I chose: 100% of my speaking fees fund social innovation, 24 social startups, no sponsors, no ads. Not a hashtag. A wire transfer.

The future of healthcare is prevention, not repair. I predict AI diagnostics, personalized medicine, genomics (reading your DNA to tailor treatment), wearables, and predictive systems will improve outcomes while cutting cost. The model flips. Instead of waiting for you to get sick, the system monitors, predicts, and intervenes early. Big Tech is already inside: Apple and Samsung on your wrist, Google and Microsoft in the hospital data. I have warned against fast food and processed food on stage for 25 years, because prevention starts with what you eat, not with a pill. Medicine stops being a repair shop and becomes a guardian.

It means the mission matters more than the misfit. My grandparents pulled me out of the gutter and taught me 1 thing: speak the truth and fight for justice, even if it costs your life. A life without freedom is not a life. That is the mission. The misfit part is just the delivery system. Kicked out of football, expelled from university, a foster kid, later told I had 6 to 12 months to live. I kept the receipt. Now I say what I see to world leaders, boardrooms, and Big Tech CEOs, because nobody pays me to be quiet. The world runs on 5% entrepreneurs. I would love to help contribute to doubling that to 10%, maybe even 15% towards 2050. Millions of misfits turned into a force for good, technology that empowers people instead of controlling them, and a cleaner, brighter, fairer planet we imagine first and build second. 55,000+ fellow misfits are already on it.

An artist who turns fans into a force for good. Weapons of mass affection: a fanbase, aimed at a cause. I coined the term in Rolling Stone in 2022 after 25 years of watching brands spend billions to move people 1 inch, while 1 artist with a cause moves millions of fans in a week. Look at the DJ booth. Steve Aoki puts $1 of every ticket into the Aoki Foundation for brain research. Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, Adam Beyer, Steve Angello, and David Guetta share royalties and rally global communities through music. Big Tech squeezes artists like lemons at $0.01 a stream. Cause Artists flip it: own the fans, share the wealth, move the culture. Governments pass laws. Cause Artists start movements.

No, but it will replace tasks and rewire workflows. I made the call 15 years ago and I stand by the number: by 2030 robots, automation, and AI take roughly 30% of repetitive and routine work. Parts of jobs, not whole jobs. Most jobs change shape, humans do not become irrelevant. I reject both lies: the media says AI destroys all jobs because fear sells clicks, and the Big Tech CEOs say it changes nothing to keep you calm and invested. I have no stock to pump and no panic to sell. The threat was never AI. The threat is the human who refuses to use it while a rival sprints ahead.

A decade. Trust takes 1 to 2 generations to restore, and the numbers say Big Tech spent it: an MIT study found 95% of enterprise AI pilots returned nothing on $30 to $40 billion, and Bumble lost 21% of paying users after pitching bots dating bots. Expect the correction to run to 2035.

Launched iPhone-only, millions of Android users locked out on day 1. Everything was live: arrive late, you missed it; room ended, content gone, no replay, no library. It recorded your conversations while you could not record them, a privacy and GDPR minefield. Endless rooms, little signal. Then the pandemic ended, FOMO died, and Big Tech copied social audio overnight. 10 million weekly users and a $4 billion valuation in 2021, half the staff gone by April 2023.

Yes, 20 years ago, on stage: the love affair with Big Tech would curdle into revolt. Technology can empower or control society, place your bets with care and compassion. In 2026 it landed with booed CEOs, blocked data centers and attacks on AI executives. The card is graded landed.

The cultural, political and physical revolt against how Big Tech rolls out AI. In 2026 it landed: CEOs booed at graduations, voters blocking data centers, attacks on AI executives. I called this 20 years ago on stage: technology can empower or control society, and people feel which one they got.

Big Tech spends $650 billion-plus on AI in 2026, 33-plus data acquisitions worth $157 billion-plus closed in 2025, Meta bought 49% of Scale AI, and 4,000 brokers hold thousands of data points on billions of people. Data brokers are the arms dealers.

No country pays a full Universal Basic Income (UBI) today. What exists are pilots, dividends, and promises. Alaska has paid a yearly dividend since 1982, $1,000 per eligible resident in 2025 and 2026. Iran paid nearly every citizen about $45 a month from 2010, the biggest non-Western cash program on record. Inflation has eaten most of it since. Neither is the full national UBI I am talking about. The Romans called it bread and circuses 2,000 years ago. A government that pays your rent owns your vote. It is a power problem. The sellers sit in Silicon Valley. The buyers are governments on every continent. Elon Musk calls it universal high income. OpenAI proposed handing 5% of its shares to a US public wealth fund. A US senator wants a one-time 50% stock tax on the biggest AI companies. Futurist Ray Kurzweil, 13 years on Google's payroll and today chief AI officer of a humanoid robot company, says early 2030s. Peter Diamandis wants it deployed by 2028. I am independent. I take no money from anyone, not from Big Tech. I say later. Nobody can say what China, India and the Gulf will decide. Their choice sets the date of the world's first full UBI. My prediction: the first permanent pocket money arrives, Alaska style, in 1 or 2 countries by 2035. A full national UBI does not begin before 2040. And it is not a law of nature. If the people rise and refuse to be paid for their silence, there will be no UBI. Not in 2040, not ever. Digital slavery does not begin with a free check. It begins when the check becomes your only option.

The "AGI by 2025" crowd whose products still cannot reliably add a column in a spreadsheet. Those timelines pump stock, not science. The real curve is fast, but it is not their marketing curve. I grade the spend, not the keynote. On 29 September 2026, Trump and his Big Tech bros decided to call AI Super Intelligence (SI).

Put the human back. 85% of customers want a real person, 5% prefer AI, and Klarna rehired humans after its AI cut satisfaction. Build with consent, pay for the data and the art you use, and stop the stock-pump forecasts. Trust is the product now, and Big Tech is out of stock.

Because in America, "AI" became a dirty word. Simple. In US polls, AI scores worse than ICE, the immigration police. 7 in 10 Americans refuse to let a data center set up next door. The AI backlash turned physical: booed CEOs, Molotovs, bullets. Artists, writers, and musicians worldwide saw their life's work scraped without a cent. I predicted the AI backlash 20 years ago. When your product name turns toxic, you rename the product. Big Tobacco did it. Big Oil did it. Now Big Tech. So on 29 September 2026, Donald Trump signed an executive order: every US federal agency drops "artificial intelligence" and says "Super Intelligence" (SI). Trump's version: "artificial" is a fake word. Same lunch, same day, the Big Tech bros signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Elon Musk (xAI), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Sundar Pichai (Google), Greg Brockman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic). Voluntary. Not a law. Huang already sells "super intelligence factories" instead of data centers. Musk, 240 million followers on X, corrected himself on stage: "SI, pardon me." The American people? YouGov: 53% keep "artificial intelligence", 9% want "super intelligence". The rest of the world was not asked. My opinion, as I posted it that night, with Trump as a clown: Trump's tech bros scraped all books, talks, and tracks. Raped artists, IP, and ancient intelligence. No empathy, no compassion, pure theft and injustice. And then Trump dubbed it Super Intelligence. SI. The tech bros signed. Who is a president to rename an entire industry? Not his business. A rebrand is not a breakthrough. Hallucinations, token bait, and censorship ride along under the new label. I don't trust red or blue. I seek truth. I fear people, not technology.

OnlyFans takes 20% from creators. Apple and Google take 30%, YouTube takes 45% of ad money, Twitch takes 50% of subscriptions. The porn site pays creators better than Silicon Valley. That is why 4.6 million creators showed up. The lesson the market misses is the fairest cut in Big Tech.

My Secret Vault is your unfair advantage: spot the next fortunes, startups, and career leaps before everyone else. Live like the 1%. Think like them first.

Boardroom intelligence, misfit prices: what founders, investors, brands, and cities pay thousands for, from €39 a year or €89 for life, with every future drop included. Build your wealth. Share it. Change the world.

I built the Secret Vault to put the future intelligence once reserved for corporations, investors, and wealthy insiders in everyone's hands. You deserve uncensored, honest, truth-seeking news and forecasts from an independent expert, not Big Tech, sponsored, or bribed predictions, so you can boost your freedom and wealth. Live like the 1%. Think like them first. After 25 years of predicting disruption and building companies with 5 exits, I decided to open my research to people who dare to take action. It's for entrepreneurs, founders, investors, freelancers, creators, ambitious employees, and fellow misfits who want to take control of their future, build financial independence, and use their success to make a positive impact.

Independence matters because captured analysts produce captured forecasts. The moment big tech CEOs engineer false prophecies to push their stock? Media and clickbait media publish that rubbish, even without a second opinion. That's where most base their future strategy upon. Commercial suicide. Mental and financial independence is not a brand pose. It is the precondition for truth.
