THIS IS WHAT'S KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT: 1. AI will kill the concept of a 9–5 for millions. MANY get laid off, become freelancers, shift to portfolios of agent-assisted work. 2. livestreaming explodes 100×. it becomes the only way to prove you are real and not AI. Twitch will
@gregisenberg Not everyone is equipped nor wants to be a creator or entrepreneur. What will they do?
@gregisenberg I don’t think so. You’re imagining AI progress the way a lot of people do, as if it will get just a little better and then stop. It won’t. The value of all human labor is going to zero. Between superintelligence and brain computer interfaces our concept of existence will change.
@gregisenberg It's all good, but if everyone's a creator, who's the buyer? If anyone can build what they want with a single prompt, why do we even need brands? At that point, we're just one DNS misconfig or power outage away from a total economy crash. Kinda scary to think about
@gregisenberg 2. livestreaming explodes 100×. it becomes the only way to prove you are real and not AI. Twitch will look like one of the greatest acquisitions of all time. not true since you can generate real looking Avatar with story telling voice for livestream which can also react to
@gregisenberg livestreaming as proof-of-human works until deepfakes run in real-time. we're maybe 18 months from that. then what's the verification layer?
@gregisenberg You’re right on with some of these. My prediction, that will happen in a few months, is Ai Agents will be able to draw up other AI agents who will work together to complete the app you want with one agent assigned as the project manager. That project manager will be become your
@gregisenberg Nah sounds cringe. People will go back to enjoying their lives. This is shocking to most of tech Twitter, but the vast majority of people do not care about the online world.
@gregisenberg Great points! But if (when) the development goes like you say there's no way our (current) economic system will hold. There is no way capitalism works with enormous abundance/surplus, practically infinite demand and unemployment in the (rising) 10s of % https://x.com/MancerAI_/status...
@gregisenberg Hmm just like people will always want to spin a quality record and hear the authenticity of the sound and the crackles… Just like people crave to enter a public space that encapsulates an oldy world vibe or just a place that enhances social interaction…. Our personalities
@gregisenberg 32. What happens when agent profit wars begin?
@gregisenberg '30. AI regulation prob will look like climate policy... too slow, too messy, full of loopholes. innovation moves to places that treat compute like oil.' Ai regulation will look like a scam?
@gregisenberg This is the most profound and comprehensive vision of the AI future I've read. It highlights one core truth: AI is collapsing value chains and shifting leverage from labor to strategy/creativity. The biggest takeaway: "The boundary between content and company disappears." Thank
@gregisenberg You can cross off #2. livestreaming explodes 100×. AI can already create realistic looking live streamers, and they are only getting better.
@gregisenberg livestreaming as the new "proof of life" is UNHINGED and you're right 💀 imagine in 2030 "let me just go live for 2 hours to prove i'm not a bot" becomes NORMAL. the future is going to be weird fr fr but also kinda genius? authenticity becomes the scarce resource
@gregisenberg Love this list. But, Honestly stopped at 2 to respond in-line because live streaming? We already have proof of concept real time augmentation of footage to mask a streamer’s identity. Realtime streaming with AI augmentation kind of defeats the concept of streaming being
@gregisenberg This reads like a blueprint for the next decade. What most people miss is how adaptability becomes the new currency. Those who learn to pivot between agent-driven workflows and human creativity will own the future
@gregisenberg funny enough point 1 is more in line with Jefferson’s original vision for America: he believed freedom required independence: ownership of productive property for self-sufficiency. Therefore, wage laborers weren’t free (9-5 workers). this was the 1800s so his vision was a
@gregisenberg Wild list and useful. My filter: choose a tiny wedge (one job, one buyer), run fast experiments, and collect your own dataset while everyone argues about models. That pace compounds.
@gregisenberg It's scary but you're getting ahead of yourself with this. As for live streaming as a solution, good luck with that. Earning a certificate in welding may not be a bad idea as a backstop, however. @mikeroweworks
@gregisenberg I love the perspective on compute and data becoming the new infrastructure. Owning niche datasets and cheap compute will be the backbone of the next generation of startups.
@gregisenberg Playbook: own the interface, rent the model; buy/license gold-plated data; co-locate with cheap power; keep human-in-the-loop where stakes exist; write a “don’t automate” list (trust gestures, approvals, sensitive counsel); run tight weekly experiments with kill-switches.
@gregisenberg AI isn’t coming — it already built the house and started charging rent 💀
@gregisenberg 2 + 29 hit. people will watch others work because it moves fast & is consolidated enough to be interesting now. you can see someone build a whole architecture solo & see your opportunity in their process. process becoming the product.
@gregisenberg point 2 feels backwards, won't AI just get better at faking livestreams too?
@gregisenberg This is what grok had to say for your list: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN...
@gregisenberg Wild list. The one thing I don’t see enough people prepping for is verification UX. If livestreaming is the “I’m real” proof, we’re gonna need lightweight proofs baked into everything: voice prints, device-side liveness checks, tiny zero-knowledge badges that travel with your
@gregisenberg Okay so this is a bible lol but hype aside, three durable edges remain: 1) own the customer interface, 2) build a proprietary dataset, 3) exercise taste/discipline. Everything else is rented. I’m building accordingly.
@gregisenberg An impressive, and perhaps prophetic prediction. There is, however, nothing here about how this gets powered and where the resources will come from to make it work indefinitely. This all assumes humans will allow the light switch to stay on.
@gregisenberg 37: in person interviews required - because it will be impossible to determine if the candidate on the zoom call is human or his AI avatar.
@gregisenberg What a great time to be alive and double down on cybersecurity, hacking and ai risks. Even if ”another ai” will solve the problem there is a endless attacksurface when we are entering a full on agent to agent space.
@gregisenberg the creator economy is graduating into the founder economy (of which product can be: 1) software 2) physical 3) service and 4) CONTENT. audiences are mobilizing into companies, funds, and franchises. MrBeast saw the arbitrage first
@gregisenberg number 5 is already happening in trading firms and it's wild - agents negotiate entire strategies while humans just watch the pnl, makes me wonder if we're becoming glorified babysitters for ai
@gregisenberg you didn’t explicitly mention something like MACROHARD but I think this will turn 29 into the default for consumer app experiences users won’t know or need to know but excited for the underlying stack to be completely thrown out and reimagined from first principles
@gregisenberg Guess I'm streaming my sleep tonight. Prove I'm real.
@gregisenberg Everything is flattening into consumability. Brand is the medium of consumable culture.
@gregisenberg The concept of data as leverage will hold true until a breakthrough in algorithms enables neural networks to exhibit superior reinforcement learning behavior. Post-that, I believe the value of data will begin to diminish.
