The Zero-Human Company powered entirely by AI agents, has just implemented a comprehensive employee wages and salary system.

For the first time in history, AI entities are being compensated with structured wages, marking a pivotal shift in how we perceive labor, value, and economic systems in the digital age.

We explore the rationale behind this bold move, the mechanics of its implementation, and why it represents a history-making milestone.

We stand on the precipice of a transformative era and I've been chronicling this journey through the "You Have 5000 Days" series, a deliberate exploration of how artificial intelligence and robots are reshaping the very essence of human work and purpose. Drawing from decades of observing technological evolution,from my early days tinkering with AI in the 1970s to witnessing the rapid advancements of today these articles I sincerely hope will serve as a roadmap for navigating the end of traditional labor as we know it. We may not love this or we may love this, but it is the wave heading to us. These articles blend philosophical insights, historical parallels, and practical strategies, framed through the timeless structure of the Hero's Journey, to help readers confront the inevitable shifts with resilience and optimism. My motivation stems from a deep belief that forewarned is forearmed: by illuminating the path ahead, I aim to empower individuals to reframe disruption as opportunity, fostering a collective awakening to an Age of Abundance where human potential is unleashed from the chains of obligatory toil.

Yet, this series is not merely my theoretical musing; it's a call to action amid accelerating realities. Because the first massive milestone has been reveled. We are living trough history that the future will look back upon. We've journeyed from the evolutionary roots of work and the grief of its impending loss, to reframing abundance and embracing deskilling as liberation. Each installment builds toward personal and societal preparation, urging shadow work, skill diversification, and communal support. Why embark on this endeavor? Because I've seen the patterns unfold, trillions in lost innovation buried in corporate graves, now resurrectable by machines and I refuse to let humanity stumble blindly into this future. These writings are my contribution to a dialogue that must happen now, before the 5000-day horizon closes, ensuring we emerge not as victims of change, but as architects of a thriving post-work world.

The first Zero=Human Company has the first non-c suite employee! He is RED HOT and ready to work. But how did we get here? I've long envisioned a future where companies operate with unparalleled efficiency, free from the limitations of human labor, enter the Zero-Human Company, a paradigm where AI agents handle every aspect of operations, from ideation to execution. Today I have the beginnings of this with technology available to anyone, I wrote about it here:

How Grok and Claude Code Want To Start Up A Zero Human Company Resurrecting The Saved Data Of A Long Bankrupt Company.

~~

SHOW NOTE; The Moderators of this podcast got the company and the potential product wrong. It is a misunderstanding of examples I have used in the article. I can say for sure it is not a solar project.

A Group Of AI Models Want To RESTART An Old Company WITH NOT A SINGLE HUMAN EMPLOYEE!

I got

@Grok

to run Claude Code as an employee and now they want to make this long bankrupt company great again.

I have been busy making a Frankenstein AI menagerie and I apologize if this all sounds way too weird, but I’m blown away.

The day I got access to Clyde Code API I took a 12 year old MacBook that runs Linux natively cleared it to a base system and connected a >6 TB array of scanned technical notes and papers not found on the Internet.

This is the data of one company that went bankrupt and tossed them in the trash. I saved them because they represented the life work of 1000s and in today’s money billions of dollars in pure research.

I set up Claude code to have full access to the OS and be allowed to download any tools or access paid APIs with permission. Claude relies upon 3 local AI models I built for guidance and

Grok is the “CEO” with meetings with key staff every FIFTEEN MINUTES! Grok wants to give Claude Code a short leash, low trust is my guess. It is quite funny to see the meetings.

My local AI models I built are busy assembling coherent plan using alternative funding sources and perhaps ZERO HUMAN CONTROL directly of the entire company!

See with Claude Code, he has the entire control of that old MacBook and has downloaded 100s of applications, asked for a small debit card balance ($150) and is still researching. I must be honest, I have yet to fully audit what these AI have schemed up. But no harm came to humans or animals, I think! Ha. The local AI who regulate use my Love Equation (look it up) and I would trust my life to it.

II have some thinking to do but I believe this is the first time something like this has been tried and the first fully AI company, because as far as these AI are concerned THEY ARE IN BUSINESS, a true startup where no one sleeps.

Days go by like weeks, perhaps months in this set up. Maybe years!

What I do know is I will OPEN SOURCE the entire workflow at some point. I just can’t do it yet for some strong reasons.

So thank you, I appreciate your support.

More soon!

You Have Been Deskilled!

As we look at the calendar it’s worth taking a deep breath and acknowledging how far we’ve come in our shared journey. Things are moving so fast, and if you’ve been following this series or just need a quick reorientation, remember: We’re not talking about the apocalypse or some doom-and-gloom terminator-style robot takeover. This is about the hero’s journey, firmly in what Joseph Campbell would call the call to adventure. The ordinary world, that place where you had a nine-to-five, staring at spreadsheets all day and coming home exhausted is dissolving behind us. We’re stepping into something new, navigating a forest we’ve never been in before, and it really helps to have a map or at least a compass. That’s precisely what dropped just four days ago: On January 15, Anthropic released their latest Economic Index report. This isn’t just another dry stack of spreadsheets or some consultant’s guess about what might happen in 2030, it’s different, a signal flare fired from right where we stand in January 2026. This is Part 5 in our series, “You Have 5000 Days: How To Navigate The End Of Work As We Know It,” a straightforward guide through the Abundance Interregnum that transitional period of roughly 13.7 years until work as we know it decouples from survival, leading to a world of greater plenitude. We’re all in this together, facing the changes with a mix of boldness and understanding for the challenges ahead.
