The artificial intelligence hype looks like it’s about to pay off. With Anthropic’s Claude Code taking “vibe coding” to the next level and AI agents like OpenClaw replacing chatbots, the tech world is undergoing a step-function change—and the stock market is starting to notice. When one person can build powerful software by describing an idea in plain English, and can simultaneously send agents to autonomously handle tedious work behind the scenes, the old barriers that protected Silicon Valley’s dominance begin to disappear. Now that AI is learning to recursively improve itself, the relationship between humans, computers, and work is going to fundamentally change. How can we prepare for what comes next?
