Episode notes
AI Could Strip Friction From The Services Economy
- Citrini's thesis says AI will remove friction that currently supports a huge services economy, potentially collapsing moats across white‑collar work.
- Examples include agents lowering real estate commissions, canceling unused subscriptions, and commoditizing marketplaces like DoorDash.
Wage Compression May Outpace Price Deflation
- Avi argues AI-driven deflation could convert high‑paid knowledge workers into low‑paid gig roles, compressing wages faster than services prices.
- He illustrates with a $500K SaaS employee falling to $45K driving for Uber while marketplaces get cheaper.
Historical Shifts Suggest Slower AI Disruption
- Jonah accepts large disruption but doubts pace; historical tech shifts created new jobs and took longer to fully change behavior.
- He argues consumer habits and infrastructure constraints slow instant agent adoption, making rapid 2028 meltdown unlikely.
