## Resource

One future says the most human people win. The other says your job costs too much. Gary Vaynerchuk believes that as we become more "AI-ed out," the most human brands and people will dominate. Citrini Research predicts something far colder: Within two years, a Claude agent may do the work of a $180,000 product manager for $200 a month. And when that happens? The top 10% may control over half of all consumer spending. So which future is real? The one where humanity becomes more valuable? Or the one where intelligence becomes a utility? Cal gives you a closer look at both.
