915 Days Until You Are Obsolete
And How This is The Greatest Wealth Opportunity of Our Lifetime
The rise of AI-managed businesses is happening faster than anyone expected.
Here’s why you must act before the window closes.
There are moments in history where everything changes.
In 2007, the iPhone turned the world into software.
In 2020, COVID accelerated remote work and digital transformation by a decade.
And in 2025, we’ll say: That’s when AI took over.
We are now 915 days away from human brains becoming the vinyl records of cognition.
Obsolete for any practical purposes.
The way AI is progressing, it won’t just augment human work, it will replace it in many domains. And most people are still laughing like it’s a toy. Like it’s just ChatGPT writing jokes and college essays.
But I’ve been watching this unfold in real-time.
We’re in the Automation Era
Think of companies like cars.
Manual: Founders did everything.
Automatic: SOPs and teams.
Cruise control: AI handles tasks, humans oversee.
Self-driving: Autonomous companies. One founder. Zero employees.
Right now, we’re easing into that third phase.
But the jump to self-driving won’t happen slowly. It will happen overnight.
This shift is already happening fast from “human management” to “AI runs the company.”
Autonomous Companies is the Greatest Wealth Creation Opportunity for the Average Person
We’ve never seen anything like this, and probably never will agian.
Already there is:
An AI that codes your app
An AI that handles support
An AI that builds marketing funnels
An AI that schedules meetings, closes sales, tracks finances, and runs analytics
And now imagine you’re the solo founder doing $1M+ in revenue with zero employees.
That’s not a dream.
It’s already happening.
Companies built on this foundation will out-price, out-service, and out-execute every traditional business.
If you think this is hyperbole, remember what happened to:
Kodak vs. Instagram
Nokia vs. iPhone
Taxi companies vs. Uber
Those who build for the new paradigm always win.
Most People Are Unprepared
Ask your smartest business friends this question:
“What are you doing to hedge against the risk that your skills or company might be obsolete in 3 years?”
Most of them will stare blankly at you.
Many still believe their industry is safe. That AI will just “do the boring stuff.”
They’re not ready for:
AI therapists that are more empathetic than humans
AI lawyers that work 24/7 and never make a mistake
AI construction bots coordinated by real-time LLMs
AI friends, salespeople, coaches, consultants
And they’re certainly not prepared for Digital Employees that look and sound human, show up on Zoom calls, make decisions, joke with your team, and never sleep.
We are going to see businesses run entirely by AI, where the founder simply sets the direction and clicks go.

What I’m Doing Right Now
I’m not waiting.
Here’s what I’m doing to hedge, adapt, and win in this new era:
Automating every redundant role across my businesses
Investing in data centers, AI infrastructure, and computing power
Avoiding low-moat businesses that can be automated away
Focusing on brands, networks, and IP that compound
Exploring high-leverage frontier bets in AI, health, and robotics
Building products as if I will never need employees, because soon, I won’t
I’m also building automation libraries, and startup playbooks to help others enter this wave early.
Because I believe this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It won’t stay open forever.
You can’t “pause” AI.
It won’t wait for regulation, labor unions, or your career plan.
It compounds daily.
And by the time most people wake up, they’ll realize they’ve been left behind.
“Only the paranoid survive.” – Andy Grove
That quote hits harder in this moment than ever before.
Are you optimizing for yesterday’s world?
Or building for the autonomous era?
Very good prediction
