📌 Chapters:
00:00 Intro – the politicians hide the truth about the AI impact
01:30 David Shapiro, what is post labor economics
04:00 Will the AI impact be like ketchup coming out of a bottle?
14:15 How far away are capable AI agents from taking over jobs
30:00 Will humans be reserved for VIP service?
47:45 When labor disappears will capital or ideas be king?
57:00 Will capital gains increase
1:05:00 What should politicians and people do?
In this episode of the Mindblowers Podcast, AI expert David Shapiro joins us to explore one of the most urgent and under discussed issues of our time: What happens when AI and robotics make most human jobs obsolete?
We dive deep into the rise of post-labor economics, following the rapid development of AI from today’s language models and copilots to tomorrow’s autonomous AI agents. These systems are becoming faster, cheaper, better—and soon, safer—than human workers in everything from self-driving cars to white-collar office jobs.
David explains why millions of jobs could disappear within the next 3 to 5 years, especially in knowledge and admin work. Then, within 5 to 10 years, the rise of humanoid robots could take over manual labor jobs at scale—replacing workers in logistics, cleaning, elderly care, construction, and more.
But there’s a problem.
Despite this looming disruption, politicians remain silent. Why?
Because acknowledging the scale of AI-driven automation would risk losing elections. Even as figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman brief the U.S. government behind closed doors, there’s little public engagement on what’s really happening.
We also discuss:
• Why Universal Basic Income (UBI) will likely be too little, too late
• What a new social contract might look like in a post-labor world
• How to protect yourself from automation now
• Which careers have longer-term resilience
• How to invest or pivot strategically before your current job disappears
This is a conversation about AI, labor, inequality, and the future of society — and it’s one you won’t hear from your government.
