Surviving the New Economics of a Post-Agentic World

In this Fully Connected episode, hosts Chris Benson and Daniel Whitenack explore the economic implications of a world saturated with AI agents. They discuss how companies are already deploying agents at massive scale, eroding the moats of traditional software firms and repricing human labor. The conversation delves into what happens when digital labor becomes abundant, agents manage other agents, and organizations can operate beyond human workforce limits. This is not about whether AI will take your job, but about the new economic order that is already forming.
