Courted by Meta, Committed to OpenAI
There’s a new generation of builders who don't polish a résumé. They just build something so undeniable that billion-dollar companies start circling like sharks. That’s what happened with Peter Steinberger, the guy behind OpenClaw.
He wasn’t job hunting, or exploring opportunities, he was shipping code. And suddenly Meta, with Mark Zuckerberg himself involved, was in his inbox giving product feedback like, “Hey, love what you built, wanna come over?”
Meanwhile OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, was making its move too. No application, or recruiter ghosting. Just leverage. Now pause, when was the last time a company chased you because you were just that good?
He could’ve raised venture capital and gone full founder mode. Pitch decks, demo days, and the whole, “We’re disrupting the future” tour. Instead, he chose to join the machine. Why? Maybe because sometimes the fastest way to scale your idea isn’t to run the company, it’s to plug into one that already owns the grid.
Maybe the smartest play right now isn’t, “Start a startup.” Maybe it’s, “Build something so sharp they can’t ignore you.” Are you waiting to be chosen or building something that forces the world to choose you?
AI Agents Could Wipe Out Most Apps
In a bold and unsettling prediction, Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, says AI agents could make up to 80% of today’s apps obsolete.
His argument is simple: if a personal AI agent already knows your location, sleep patterns, stress levels, calendar, email, and spending habits, why would you still need separate apps like MyFitnessPal, Eight Sleep, or even Uber Eats?
Instead of opening multiple apps and paying multiple subscriptions, users could simply tell their agent what they want. The agent would adjust workouts based on sleep, order food automatically, control smart devices, and even manage spending. All without the user ever touching an app interface.
Steinberger believes this shift will force companies to reinvent themselves or risk disappearing, much like businesses disrupted by the early internet. Apps may survive only if they transform into APIs, meaning they become invisible services that AI agents can directly communicate with.
He argues that users want convenience: instead of manually switching between apps, they prefer one intelligent agent that handles everything fluidly. In his view, this is the beginning of a software revolution, one where companies must adapt to an AI-first world or risk becoming the next Blockbuster.
Half Your Job Is Already Obsolete
Matt Shumer, CEO of HyperWriteAI and OthersideAI, says we’re in the February 2020 stage of AI, the calm before the shockwave. Remember when COVID felt distant, until it wasn’t? He believes AI is in that same early-denial phase.
Advanced models from OpenAI and Anthropic aren’t just tools anymore. They can complete complex, multi-hour professional tasks coding, research, writing, and analysis often faster and better than humans.
Shumer says he describes what he wants in plain English, walks away, and comes back to fully built, and tested apps. No team or delays. If a CEO can replace hours of skilled labor with a prompt, what happens to the people selling those hours?
This isn't a gradual change, it’s exponential. AI is helping improve itself, so each new version gets better faster. If your job happens mostly on a computer, you’re at risk. The shift won’t be announced, it’ll show up as hiring freezes, fewer openings, and higher expectations.
Shumer’s advice is blunt: use advanced AI tools daily. Build leverage, not task security, strengthen your finances, and move toward roles where human judgment and trust still matter. The people who call this hype will be shocked, but the people who adapt now will be dangerous. The question isn’t whether AI will change your job, it’s whether you change first.
How to Make Yourself Impossible to Replace in the Age of AI
For today’s non-technical professionals, there’s a simple roadmap with some of the best courses from top AI insiders and some of the most prestigious institutions in the world.
It shows you exactly how to communicate clearly with AI so you get powerful results, how to automate your repetitive work, build AI agents that handle tasks for you, multiply your output without multiplying your hours, reduce stress by eliminating chaos, and create real career options.
So you make more, work smarter, sleep better, and become harder to replace.
Before “I should’ve learned this sooner” becomes your new job title, here's the roadmap.
