Mattin observes a rapid slowdown in entry-level hiring in specific sectors: customer service, graphic design, and coding. This is the "canary in the coal mine." If entry-level roles are vanishing, the business models of companies reliant on billing for human hours in these sectors (Business Process Outsourcing, dev shops) are structurally broken. AVOID or SHORT sectors highly exposed to commoditized human knowledge work. AI regulation could mandate "human-in-the-loop" requirements that slow down automation adoption.

Mattin mentions "Shellrazer," a token launched by an AI agent on the "Maltbook" platform, which gained traction purely through agentic social activity. This validates the thesis of "Agentic Markets"—economies where non-human actors create and trade value. While currently "shenanigans," it proves the concept of AI-generated assets. WATCH. This is highly speculative/gambling, but represents the first wave of "AI-Native Assets." Rug pulls, lack of liquidity, and the fact that the "agent" might just be a human larper (impersonator).

Mattin mentions a startup called "Ambient" that is attempting to create an ecosystem with a token representing "units of machine intelligence." This aligns with his "Post-Human Economy" thesis where the currency is no longer fiat, but a measure of useful compute/intelligence work. WATCH as a potential early mover in the "Compute-as-Currency" vertical. Early-stage execution risk and competition from major L1 blockchains pivoting to compute.
