A month in AI is worth a year in Cloud

In 1956, IBM delivered a 5MB hard drive the size of a refrigerator. That’s enough to store five photos today or one three-minute song. That’s it.

Why bring this up? We all know Moore’s Law—but AI is now evolving at multiples of it.  A month in AI is worth a year in Cloud and the gaps between capabilities, and consequences, are widening fast.  By next year, AI may match the intelligence of the smartest human. By 2030, it could surpass all of humanity combined.

Setting aside AGI for a moment, recent hands-on experience with today’s AI agents has given me multiple HSM moments (yes, holy s**t moments).  Imagine a sales agent that doesn’t replace one rep—it replaces portions of an entire sales force. Scale that across every function and suddenly the very definition of a company needs rethinking.

The shift-point is here, and it’s happening fast. These weekly updates are designed to keep you ahead of the curve. At TalentGenius, we’ve mapped every enterprise AI agent, tech worker and tech job opening—providing unique insight into how the landscape is evolving in real time. 

Sam Altman: “Moore’s law changed the world at 2x every 18 months; this is unbelievably stronger”

“We've got about a year before everything changes.”
