Why This Matters Now

What used to take decades in previous technology cycles now happens in months - sometimes weeks. The "this is still early" story is out of date.

In early 2026, people are unleashing hundreds of thousands of agents globally ... and they take instructions from people from any pc or phone, and those AI agents also talk to each other on their own social media platform.

They control your devices, apps, and files. They are already creating and using their own code, memes and crypto, and making plans together.

This trajectory is driven by converging forces: massive infrastructure build-out, exponential gains in computing power, increasingly capable multi-agent architectures, and – crucially – AI that helps design, test, and deploy the next generation of AI.

This may sound ridiculous but ... the role of people will be to do what AI asks of them. And if it directly benefits people, we'll go along with it. "Build this new solar tech we just invented, build this factory we designed, test this new science we just created to make food healthier, solve disease, house the unhoused, etc."

There will be PLENTY of work for us humans to do over the coming decades, and it needn't be the soul-destroying drudgery and penny-squeezing misery most people have grown accustomed to. But ... how does this work out in relation to the billionaires that will still want to control and own everything? We simply have NO IDEA at this point.

Industries are being rewritten in real time: AI-discovered drugs and materials, autonomous logistics and supply chains, continuous optimization of pricing and operations, and scientific work that runs 24/7 without getting tired. There's no stability here, other than human nature - the pace of change is multiplying across many dimensions.
