Forget everything you know about work.

We are leaving the Industrial Age and entering the AI Age.

I was watching a video from Daniel Priestly.

Here’s how the economy works now:

Basically, most people trade time for money and earn a wage (60%)

15% earn through fees (performance based compensation), basically you get paid for solving problems.

Another 10% from assets like dividends or rent to a landlord.

Lastly 15% from government benefits.

AI CHANGES THE EQUATION.

What we will see is a huge amount of wage jobs will be eaten by AI and robotics.

These jobs will shift to compensation by government in the form of UBI and comp for solving problems via fees.

The government, in order to fund UBI, will put immense taxes on owners.

This dynamic will play out dramatically over the next 10-20 years.

So here’s the question.

Where do you land now, and where will you be in the future.

Me?

I plan to be more in the fee category. Focus on building solutions and solving problems.

How about you?

Figure AI unveiled its new humanoid robot called Figure 03. It is built for both home and commercial use with upgraded sensory systems, tactile hands that can feel pressure, and a quiet soft frame that makes it safe around people.

The robot runs on the company’s Helix AI platform which allows it to understand speech, recognize objects, and perform coordinated tasks.

Figure says they can produce 15,000 per year now, and plan to ramp up to 100,000 annually over the next 4 years.

The Update:

Robots are moving into homes, offices, and warehouses faster than most people realize.

This opens a new economy of work.
Training them, maintaining them, and managing them will create jobs for people who act early.

Learn how to lead the machines instead of being replaced by them.

Morgan Stanley forecasts 8 million humanoid robots in the workplace by 2040. How will this impact your income?

Robots operate at about $1-$3 per hour vs a human at $15-35.

Each additional robot per 1000 worker reduces wages by .42% and employment to population ratio by .2%.

Assuming 8M humanoid robots, that will replace 26M jobs and reduce wages 20%.

The Update:

Awareness is the first step.

Now ask yourself the value that you bring the world.

What worked over the past 10 years will NOT work over the next 10 years.

AstraZeneca signed a $555 million partnership with Algen to develop gene-editing therapies using AI. AI models will now analyze patient data and genetic codes to identify treatment paths that used to take scientists years.

Pharma is transforming from slow research labs into high-speed data companies. The line between medicine and machine learning is blurring fast.

The Update:

AI is capable of testing hundreds of millions of hypothesis near instantly.

Whether you work in medicine, sales, construction, or education, AI changes how problems are solved.

You should ask yourself how you can deploy AI to solve problems you have NOW.

People forget 80% of what they hear during a meeting

Venture capital poured 97 billion dollars into AI this quarter, a 38 percent jump from earlier this year.
Nearly half of all global startup investment now targets AI companies.

Hardware, data centers, software, and agents are all competing for the same money.

The pattern is clear: capital follows intelligence.

The Update:

Trillions are moving, but few are positioned to benefit.

If you are watching this wave and doing nothing, you are losing ground.

At the VERY least, you should consider how to park your cash so you can generate interest.

But beware, the risk of an AI bubble are real. There will certainly be major winners and major losers.

“You need to be opening your eyes right now before it is too late.”
