Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today’s episode, Tom sits down with Emad Mostaque—former hedge fund manager, the visionary behind Stable Diffusion, one of the world’s most-used AI models and founder of Intelligent Internet. Emad makes a provocative claim: within the next 1,000 days, artificial intelligence won’t just automate jobs—it will fundamentally upend the very structure of our economy.

Together, Tom and Emad dive deep into what Emad calls “the last economy.” They break down why traditional metrics like GDP are woefully inadequate in our fast-approaching, AI-driven world, and reveal a new framework that better captures the realities of abundance, creativity, and human flourishing. Emad explains how AI’s relentless optimization could actually make human labor less valuable, even negative, and why our old measurements of success can lead us astray.

Expect a lively conversation on everything from the collapse of meaning in work, to the looming threat of social unrest, to bold ideas for economic reform as we head into this period of massive transformation. Tom presses Emad for both the hard truths and practical solutions—unpacking how individuals, societies, and even governments might navigate the coming chaos, redefine value, and ultimately thrive in the age of intelligent machines.

Strap in—today’s episode doesn’t just forecast disruption. It offers a roadmap for understanding and surviving the most significant economic transition of our time.
