Is this the future of AI?

  1. AI kills the 9–5. Millions go freelance or juggle agent-powered gigs.

  3. Creators turn founders. Audiences build companies. MrBeast was step one.

  4. Big 2026 startups remix a few AI tools into new workflows.

  5. Agents talk to agents. "Human in the loop" turns into an API call.

  6. Agencies and PMs vanish. Tiny teams run stacks of AI agents.

  7. Marketing goes agentic. AIs test titles and ads nonstop.

  8. Prices go personal. Same product, fifty prices. Great for biz, not buyers.

  10. Creators run AI studios, not channels. One prompt spawns an empire.

  11. Socials split into signal markets. Virality turns financial.

  12. Power becomes the limit. Local compute wins the century.

  13. Storytelling's the moat. Taste and trust make money again.

  14. AI insurance blows up. Someone has to cover the bots.

  15. Everything deflates except ideas. Originality's priceless.

  16. Nations build their own AIs. Data and compute = power.

  17. Humans move up to art direction. Everything's branding now.

  18. The richest will be the ones who know when not to use AI.

  24. Billion-dollar plays just AI-ify old industries.

  27. Media and SaaS merge. Every product tells a story.

  28. Internet now rewards fast testing, not consistency.

  30. AI laws will be messy. Innovation moves where compute is free.

  31. The web fragments into private AI-curated spaces.

  32. First full AI startup coming—no staff, no meetings, pure agents.

  33. We're in the great compression. Decades happen in months.

  34. 2026–2029 = early internet energy. Just build what matters.
