Thanks for listening.

See you tomorrow.

Our colleague David Uberti was doom-scrolling on Sunday night, like a lot of us do, when a certain post caught his eye.

It was published by a relatively unknown firm called Citrini Research, and it was written like a memo from the future, from June 2028, looking back at how artificial intelligence transformed the economy.

The report proposed that AI will become so good at writing code and replacing jobs that it could become very bad for the broader economy.

David wasn't the only one reading the Citrini post that night.

It was going viral, and it was freaking people out.

Why do you think this post about a hypothetical future, almost like science fiction, led to such a big reaction in the stock market?

This vibe shift was sparked by massive advancements in AI tools.
