That belief is fueling a last chopper out of Saigon mentality, where people see a limited window to build wealth before AI and robotics fully replace human labor.

I believe this is a consensual hallucination.

Techno-narcissists have over-indexed on the rapid advances in AI capabilities while completely ignoring everything else.

AI's popularity is correlated to wealth, with only those earning more than $200,000 per year viewing AI as a net positive.

That's not a reflection on AI, but yet another signal that the incumbents, the old and wealthy, have successfully hoarded opportunity.

In other words, the AI jobs freak out is the latest act in America's ongoing wealth inequality drama.

The Gini coefficient is how economists measure inequality.

Zero indicates everyone has exactly the same wealth.

A score of 1.0 means one individual owns everything.

In the U.S., we're higher than 0.8, about the level seen when the French began separating people from their heads.

The real disruption won't come from AI, but from the public watching arsonists sell smoke detectors and call it innovation.

AI job apocalypse isn't an economic forecast.

It's a marketing strategy.

We're not witnessing the end of work.

We're watching the monetization of fear.

I'm Scott Galloway, and this is No Mercy, No Malice.

Breaking laws and blowing past norms has consequences for society.

America is in the middle of a long-running crisis.

Sooner or later, we'll face a reckoning that will either heal the breach or harden the schism.

The reckoning, as read by George Hahn.
