"The real impact of AI in the next 5 to 10 years would show up in physical industries, like in farming, in mining, in construction, in self-driving trucks. More pragmatically, it's actually just putting intelligence into things that already exist all around us."
"I love the stuff that's happening on these platforms, but it's still segregated to, like, frankly, developers. Instead, the biggest shift will come from adding intelligence to machines already embedded in the physical economy."
"People are not fighting for those trucking jobs. The average farmer is already in their late 50s, meaning many will retire in the coming decade, potentially worsening labor shortages. AI is more likely to help fill labor shortages in these industries than replace them entirely."
Qasar Younis, CEO of Applied Intuition, argues that AI's most significant impact will occur in physical industries rather than software development. While platforms like Moltbook and OpenClaw excite developers, their reach remains limited to a small population. The real transformation will come from embedding intelligence into existing machines and systems across farming, mining, construction, and autonomous trucking. These industries face urgent labor shortages, with the average farmer in their late 50s and trucking positions unfilled. AI will likely address these labor gaps rather than eliminate jobs entirely, making physical industries the true winners of the AI boom.
