Roman Yampolskiy has spent 15 years at the University of Louisville studying one question: can we control AI? His answer is no — and in 2026, he's watching the early evidence arrive. This year his CS department recorded a 28% drop in co-op placements. Prediction markets for AGI collapsed from 2045 to somewhere between 2028 and 2030. In this episode we cover what that actually means for your career, your money, and the companies racing to build what he believes cannot be controlled. If you've been using "AI" and "superintelligence" as the same word, this conversation will fix that.
