Fear is the product.

Capital is the outcome.

I believe that, similar to every other technological innovation in history, AI will inspire job destruction that will result in an increase in productivity, profits, reinvestment and, wait for it, jobs.

The relevant question isn't how many jobs we'll lose or gain, it's whether the velocity of disruption will overwhelm that period of adaptation and recovery.

There are three scenarios.

The AI bubble bursts, AI delivers as promised but on a slower timeline, and AI disruption comes faster than the market can adapt and respond.
