Digital feudalism or Star Trek at warp factor 9? <a href="https://ii.inc/the-last-economy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Last Economy</a> author Emad Mostaque lays out the two futures toward which AI is racing us.Full show notes and resources can be found here: <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/1382" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jordanharbinger.com/1382</a>What We Discuss with Emad Mostaque:<ul><li>How AI's real disruption arrives long before it achieves sci-fi superintelligence. Emad's test is whether a digital twin can do a standard white-collar job remotely, at the same level, with no one able to tell it from the human. At the time of this interview, his 1,000-day clock now reads 684.</li><li>Why cost is the tipping point: a humanoid robot renting near $1.50 an hour, digital workers replacing costly graduates, and AI that thinks roughly a thousand times faster, never sleeps, and won't repeat a mistake, out-competing any all-human firm.</li><li>What happens when capital makes more capital without workers. Wealth concentrates around whoever owns the GPUs and robots, abundance registers as catastrophe, and the likely responses — debt jubilees, UBI, or civil insurrection — reshape income and ownership.</li><li>Why ownership may matter more than intelligence itself. If the AI teaching kids, advising doctors, and interpreting law belongs to a government or a few unelected firms, digital feudalism looms, sharpened by super-persuader models that detect lies and steer choices.</li><li>How to stay ahead: become AI-enabled now. Learn how these systems work, be the person bringing them into your organization, or use them to launch something of your own, while pushing for a future where people own intelligence aligned to human flourishing.</li><li>And much more...</li></ul><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id1344999619?mt=2&ls=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here</a> — even one sentence helps! <ul><li>Sign up for <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Six-Minute Networking</a> — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jordanharbinger.com/course</a>!</li><li>Subscribe to our once-a-week <a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wee Bit Wiser</a> newsletter today and start filling your Wednesdays with wisdom!</li><li>Do you even Reddit, bro? <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanHarbinger/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join us at r/JordanHarbinger</a>!</li></ul>This Episode Is Brought To You By <a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/deals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our Fine Sponsors</a>: <ul><li>BetterHelp: <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/jordan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10% off first month: betterhelp.com/jordan</a></li><li>Boll & Branch: <a href="https://www.bollandbranch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">15% off first set of sheets: bollandbranch.com, code JORDAN</a></li><li>EarnIn: <a href="https://app.earnin.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download EarnIn on the App Store or Google Play, type JordanHarbinger under Podcast</a></li><li>Progressive: <a href="https://www.progressive.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free online quote: progressive.com</a></li></ul>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
