Prediction text
The 2025-2028 period is defined by massive automation/job displacement equivalent to 25 years of Industrial Revolution economic upheaval compressed into 3 traumatic years — followed by the dawn of the 'Agentic Era' in 2027 where autonomous AI agents partner with humans to drive exponential discovery and entirely new economic models. | Next Challenger Gray or ADP employment-dislocation magnitude
Key catalyst: Next Challenger Gray or ADP employment-dislocation magnitude
Watch events: Employment-dislocation metrics vs historical transitions (1870s/1920s/1990s)
Resolution evidence
Diamandis Abundance360 / Moonshots predictions 2025-2026 confirm framing; magnitude of dislocation tracking mid-range of consensus.
Predictor: Peter Diamandis
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Peter Diamandis is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
