An invisible economy is already forming.
@ysiu joined
@TheBonnieChang and
@davidlin_TV to discuss how agentic AI marks a fundamental shift in how value gets created and exchanged. AI agents that book flights, execute trades, and manage schedules autonomously will generate an entirely new layer of economic activity, what Yat calls "ghost GDP." As agents begin transacting with each other, new industries will emerge. They will be built not for the average human consumer, but for AI agents.
The implications for the workforce are equally significant. It is shifting from performing tasks directly to orchestrating fleets of AI agents. In creative fields, value will come less from technical execution and more from vision and taste.
