The industrial revolution replaced muscle. Now, while AI is now slowly replacing thinking, white-collar workers are basically training the systems built to take their jobs. And blue-collar work won't sit this one out either, once the robots catch up.

Losing jobs is the visible problem. But that isn't the thing that should worry you most: Anthropic's GTG-1002 report describes an AI agent running 80 to 90% of a real intrusion on its own, something that seemed out of reach just a few years ago. The EU AI Act excludes military AI use outright, while export controls assume we'll reach a commercial chokepoint that will just end up being cancelled by the mass adoption of open-weight models. We fought this exact battle in the 1990s over cryptography, and lost.

The session tracks how the AI disruption will continue to impact everyone, as this is definitely a lot more than just "another industrial revolution".
