AI agents are about to make a lot of human labor economically worthless.

Not the dramatic robots-take-over nonsense. The quiet version.

You know those gigs — data entry, basic research, content moderation, transcribing — where people spend hours doing work a script could handle? Agents just closed the gap. It's not that the models are smarter. It's that they're now reliable enough to do the boring stuff without a human hovering over their shoulder.

The people who see this coming aren't panic-selling. They're learning to do things that require actual judgment, taste, or accountability. Because here's the thing about automation: the stuff that survives isn't the high-status work. It's the work that can't be offloaded.
