Gelong: Carbon-Based Era Over, Silicon-Based Era Emerging as AI Reshapes Three Foundations of Human Society

According to Glalley founder Gelong, speaking at the Glalley Mid-Year Strategy Summit on June 29, the carbon-based era has essentially ended and the silicon-based era is arriving. He outlined AI's three major disruptions: widespread replacement across all industries and applications; fundamental transformation of production relations with job displacement and carbon-based life losing exchange value for the first time; and geometric growth in productivity, where human GDP could double in five years or less in the AI era, compared to centuries or decades in previous industrial revolutions.

Gelong emphasized that AI will reshape human civilization across three dimensions: material production methods (humans no longer performing labor while wealth multiplies, creating "unemployment-driven prosperity"); wealth creation mechanisms; and civilizational evolution (carbon-based civilization evolving slowly with limits, while silicon-based civilization faces no ceiling).
