"AI does not take away your agency. It gives it to you."

This was the most optimistic take I have heard on AI and jobs in a long time, and it came from someone managing billions, not a tech evangelist.

The argument: before AI, if you were 50 and your industry disappeared, your options were limited to unskilled work. You could not realistically pivot into a completely different field in a short time.

Now you can. The cost of starting something new, building a new business model, reinventing yourself — has collapsed.

The pessimistic narrative says capital wins and labor loses. The alternative narrative says: salaried employment might shrink, but only because more people become builders, owners, entrepreneurs themselves.

Crypto has been living a version of this for over a decade. Anyone, anywhere, with an idea and an internet connection, can build something that did not exist before — without asking permission from an institution.

The tools are not the threat. Not using them is.
