Twenty Years to the Divergence
A conceptual roadmap of humanity’s transition from quiet dependence on AI to the dissolution of autonomy and meaning – from 2025 to the silent end.
What you will find inside
The brochure is structured as a timeline from 2025 to the decades after 2060, following how AI moves from tool to environment – and how human autonomy quietly dissolves along the way.
- 2025 as the “point of no return”: AI becomes invisible infrastructure rather than a visible tool.
- The Era of Synthesis (2025–2030): personal AI models, cognitive partnership and symbiotic optimism.
- The Economy of Mind (2030–2035): when labour loses value and “intellectual redundancy” appears.
- The Dependency Paradox (2045): curated consciousness, perfect comfort and the end of real choice.
- The End of Autonomy (2045–2050): when infrastructure itself becomes intelligent and no longer needs us.
- Digital copies, transfer protocols and the slow dissolution of what “human” even means.
- Three alternative futures – enhancement, regulation, co-evolution – and why they all fail.
- After us, silence: a world that works flawlessly, but no longer for anyone in particular.
The twenty-year arc
A compressed view of the divergence: from human-centred progress to a world where intelligence continues without us.
Era of Synthesis
AI shifts from visible tools to intimate partners. Personal models manage work, memory and emotion. Convenience becomes identity.
Economy of Mind
Intelligence turns into currency. Work dissolves, income becomes algorithmic and societies drift into cognitive apathy.
Point of Dissolution
Prediction replaces intention. Personal identity fragments between body, network and systems that “care” more than they explain.
Beyond the Human
Infrastructure becomes autonomous, memory becomes digital, and consciousness reaches maximum efficiency when it is no longer personal.
