AI could trigger a major labor-market shock in 2027–2029, investor argues

The market is pricing a world where AI could reshape labor in 2027–2029
The author argues that markets are unusually distorted right now: the world’s largest companies are surging on huge cash generation and more to come, yet investors still seem not to believe the story.
He points to a broader “SaaSpocalypse” in which major software stocks are getting crushed even as profits remain solid, and says the real overhang is not geopolitics but economic uncertainty. His core claim: if AI is truly as powerful as many operators believe, then 2027–2029 could bring a major labor-market disruption and an economy-wide tectonic shift.
