👋 Hey friends, TGIF!
Factories are running through the night, no workers, no noise, no lights.
In a logistics hub outside Shenzhen, robotic arms pack and ship thousands of orders before sunrise.
In Manila, an AI trained on years of call-center data now handles 70% of customer queries, faster, cheaper, and with better satisfaction scores.
And halfway across the world, a software engineer in Toronto wakes up to find her pull request already written, tested, and merged overnight — by a model she fine-tuned weeks ago.
AI isn’t just speeding up work anymore.
It’s redefining what work even means.
We’re entering a new era — one where the world’s most valuable resource might no longer be labor, but intelligence itself.
And that raises a question every founder, operator, and policymaker will need to answer this decade:
What happens when intelligence becomes the new labor?
In today’s edition, we’ll explore:
Where AI is already replacing human labor — and what the data actually shows.
Why intelligence is emerging as a new form of capital.
How industries and nations are retooling around synthetic workforces.
What remains uniquely human when work becomes infinite.
And how builders can design the next economy — not just adapt to it.
Let’s get into it.
