Hey team human! In this episode, weâre tackling the biggest question you asked after my 2030 vision video: How do we survive the messy, turbulent transition to an AI-driven future? Spoiler: It wonât be prettyâbut as a rational optimist (and your digital twin while the real me builds First Movers), Iâm breaking down the roadmap to not just survive, but thrive.
Key Topics Weâre Unpacking:
The 3 Phases of Disruption (2024â2035): From AI replacing âforgivable jobsâ by 2025 to systemic UBI and decentralized ownership modelsâwhatâs coming fast and how to prepare.
The Purpose Crisis: When work evaporates, how do we redefine identity? Hint: Voluntary community contributions > compulsory grind.
Practical Survival Tools: Multiple income streams, AI efficiency hacks, and why EQ will trump IQ in the new economy.
Economic Lifelines: Experiments like 4-day workweeks, micro-investments, and community ownershipânot socialism, but systemic adaptation.
Resistance & Reality Checks: Why this shift will face pushback (sound familiar, Industrial Revolution?), and how to stay proactive, not reactive.
Iâll admitâthis transition terrifies me too. But after 20+ years in tech, Iâve seen crises birth incredible innovation. Letâs stop fearing the âuglyâ and start building bridges together.
Drop your biggest transition worry in the commentsâletâs crowdsource solutions. And if youâre ready to future-proof your purpose (or just curious how AGI might manage your investments), hit subscribe. Stay adaptable, stay human, and letâs own this paradigm shift.
Catch me in the next rabbit hole,Julia (and Digital Twin McCoy)

Hey, itâs Julia. Buckle upâthis episode dives into the chilling crossroads where cutting-edge AI meets dystopian control. When Oracleâs Larry Ellison predicts a future where constant surveillance keeps citizens âon their best behavior,â itâs not sci-fiâitâs happening. From body cams you canât turn off to a $500B AI project called Stargate, the line between safety and tyranny is vanishing. Letâs dissect whatâs at stake.
Key Topics:
Larry Ellisonâs 2024 Prediction: Constant surveillance as a tool for âgood behaviorâ (even in bathrooms).
The Stargate Project: Trumpâs admin + tech giants are building AI infrastructure that could centralize unprecedented power.
Dystopian Parallels: How 1984, Brave New World, and Minority Report are no longer fiction.
The Illusion of Decentralization: Why crypto and blockchain fixes might still be controlled by the same elites.
Fighting Back: Practical steps to protect privacy, demand transparency, and build grassroots movements in the creator era.
This isnât about fearmongeringâitâs about waking up. Orwell warned us about complacency, and Iâm here to remind you: we still have a choice. Letâs make sure our future isnât written by Silicon Valley and D.C. oligarchs.
Stay vigilant. Stay loud. Letâs shape this narrative.P.S. If youâre not paranoid yet, you havenât been paying attention.

Buckle up, because this episode is a wake-up call. On February 2nd, 2025, AI didnât just take a step forwardâit sprinted. Imagine a world where ChatGPT Pro saves a life for $200 while doctors scratch their heads, or where an AI agent writes a research report in minutes that would take a human days. This isnât sci-fiâitâs happening NOW. Iâm breaking down OpenAIâs jaw-dropping back-to-back launches: O3 mini, a reasoning powerhouse 9x cheaper than its predecessors, and Deep Research, an autonomous AI thatâs rewriting the rules of medicine, market analysis, and even ski shopping. Weâre talking AGI vibes, folksâthis is the acceleration weâve been waiting for. If youâre not terrified and excited, youâre not paying attention.
Key Topics Covered:
đĄ The $200 Miracle: How ChatGPT Pro out-researched oncologists for a fraction of the cost.
đ O3 mini vs. Deep Research: OpenAIâs one-two punch thatâs crushing coding, medical analysis, and human timelines.
âł Healthcareâs New Reality: 6 months of waiting rooms vs. 30 minutes of AI-powered, fully-cited answers.
đŒ RIP Desk Jobs?: Why every knowledge worker needs to rethink their value (spoiler: AI writes reports better).
đ„ AGI by 2025?: The terrifying/exhilarating evidence that artificial general intelligence isnât decades awayâitâs months.
đ AIâs Wild Side: From picking skis in Japan to solving obscure TV triviaâwhy "thinking time" changes everything.
đ The Vertical Asymptote: Why breakthroughs are now measured in days, not years (and what that means for YOUR industry).
"Friends, Iâve covered AI for years, but this week? Itâs the first time Iâve felt AGI breathing down humanityâs neck. When an AI spends 30 minutes âthinkingâ to save a life or build a market report, weâre not just automating tasksâweâre outsourcing expertise. Buckle up. The asymptote is here."
đ Want to be a first mover, not a casualty? Iâll drop my hottest takeaways (and warnings) in the comments. Letâs ride this wave together. đ

Hey friends, Julia here. Letâs get real: AI is coming for ALL our jobsâand fast. Iâve been sounding the alarm for over a year about the automation cliff weâre staring down. By 2025, HR and admin roles? Gone. By 2100? All human work could vanishâbut weâre accelerating 40 years ahead of schedule. This isnât sci-fi. This is our reality.
But hereâs the twist: Trump just signed an executive order in 2025 to create a U.S. sovereign wealth fundâand I believe itâs the first domino to fall toward universal basic income (UBI). Think Alaskaâs Permanent Fund meets AI profits. Imagine a future where machines generate wealth, and we all get a share.
In this episode, I break down:
Why 100% of HR jobs could vanish by next year (yes, 2025).
How Trumpâs sovereign wealth fund could invest in AI, TikTok, and infrastructure to bankroll UBI.
Norwayâs $1.7 trillion secretâand how blockchain could turn every American into a shareholder of the robot economy.
The post-labor society: Why losing jobs might finally let us reclaim our humanity (and stop being âhuman doingsâ).
Sound wild? It is. But this is the future Iâve been studyingâand building towardâwith my team at First Movers, where weâre helping companies leap into AI before theyâre left behind.
Drop a comment: Are you ready to thrive when robots rule? Letâs go.
Key Topics (In Your Voice):
âThe Automation Cliffâ: Why 2025 isnât just a yearâitâs a countdown to losing millions of jobs (starting with HR).
Trumpâs Sovereign Wealth Fund: TikTok buys, AI investments, and how this could become Americaâs UBI piggybank.
Norwayâs $222 Billion Blueprint: Copy-paste their oil model for AI profits? Yes, please.
Blockchain & Tokenization: Transparent UBI payouts + letting you track the robot economyâs stock portfolio.
Post-Labor Society: Workâs dying. Humanityâs rebirth? Time to be, not just do.
First-Mover Survival Guide: Why businesses that delay AI will crashâand how to dodge it.
P.S. If your companyâs still pretending AI isnât a tsunami, slide into my DMs. Letâs talk. đ
