PostAGI is a new podcast powered by Eigen on what comes after AGI.
In the first episode, @sreeramkannan and @soubhikdeb sit down with economist @alexolegimas to talk through labor, capital and markets post-AGI.
Listen here 👇
a podcast (and more) literally exploring what comes post agi
we’ve got some some elite guests lined up exploring the unknown
super excited to see this come to life
First episode of @postagixyz, powered by @eigenlabs, is live.
Hear @alexolegimas discuss what will remain scarce after AGI.
The conversations that define the next decade are happening here. Follow along.
Post AGI podcast, launching today!
Opening episode with Prof. Alex Imas.
Seen recently on the Dwarkesh podcast.
This episode was recorded and edited when Alex was a professor at Chicago Booth (hes now at Google DeepMind). He is an economist who has thought deeply about the impact of AGI on the economy.
It’s a privilege for us to open the show with Alex.
A must watch!
"The only question in post-AGI economics is: what is scarce?"
That is Alex Imas (@alexolegimas) from Chicago Booth, opening Season 01 of Post AGI. Over an hour we get into why AI "job exposure" misleads everyone, why the robots are coming for physical work before knowledge work, the economy of human-made goods that survives automation, his case against UBI, and whether agents can run an economy better than markets.
Full conversation. Moments worth your time:
04:10 Why "AI exposure" doesn't mean what people think
13:35 The robotic "dark warehouses" being built in China
23:20 The case against UBI
45:35 The only question after AGI: what is scarce?
Full episode below.
Our first episode is live.
@alexolegimas on what AI does to jobs, capital, and markets, and the one question that matters after AGI: what stays scarce.

The cloud rebellion against labs.
Microsoft is positioning as the neutral stateful aggregation layer for models. In tone, it is positioning pro-businesses building on top, whereas ai labs have self positioned as “intelligence eating everything”.
Microsoft’s position rings true from its track record. The other clouds will adopt this product positioning as well (bedrock has for some time).
It’s good to see multiple mega corps competing it can be an antidote to vertical integration.
We need open networks to win in order to maximize individual agency post AGI.
Coordination Post-AGI: Talk at Manifest.
AGI is reconfiguring the nature of power, and the AI labs are centrally consolidating this power. Coordination through open networks is the only counterforce. From markets to democracy to the scientific commons, our most durable institutions have been systems of open coordination.
We believe AGI, the same technology that is used for concentration, can be a superpower for coordination. We are building open networks for the foundational layers of AI: agentic research, inference infrastructure, and capital formation.
Our mission is to maximize individual agency post-AGI.
Day 2 at Manifest 2026 in Berkeley
We spent another day having conversations on post AGI with researchers, founders, economists and some of the most interesting independent thinkers on the internet.
It’s insane how many converged on abundance of intelligence and how that shapes human agency.
Our belief remains the same. Maximize individual agency post AGI.
Day 1 at Manifest 2026 in Berkeley
Spent the day talking to some of the smartest people we have met this year
Everyone has a different timeline for AGI
Almost nobody disagrees that society is about to be reorganized around it
Our belief is that AGI is already here and it is paramount to maximize individual agency post AGI.
Last week an open network of builders and agents pushed 40% past a benchmark Google kept hidden.
Coordination beat concentration in real time.
@postagixyz is the conversation version of that argument.
Economists, political scientists, cryptographers, builders on what comes after the AGI debate.
AGI is here. But its arrival is not shared.
The future is being built in a small number of buildings, by a small number of people, and they are turning intelligence into a permissioned empire.
What comes after touches your job, your money, your privacy, your political power. It is about whether the rest of us gets to maintain our agency at all.
It doesn't have to be this way.
I sat down with seven people who have been thinking about this hard: economists, political scientists, builders.
PostAGI. First episode drops next week.
The safety debate has spent a decade asking whether AGI will be aligned.
@sreeramkannan's argument: that's the wrong demon.
Even perfectly aligned AGI concentrates power if it lives inside 3 buildings in San Francisco.
Alignment without coordination is just obedient centralization.
Tomorrow at Manifest 2026, @sreeramkannan takes the stage.
