[Token Commentary] An endangered species in the AI era, Homo sapiens

The article uses a speculative "Silicon Valley Zoo" vignette to frame how artificial intelligence could render humans economically superfluous, living on universal basic income and retreating into AR worlds while humanoid robots look on. It is a conceptual commentary rather than a market report, so it contains no token prices, TVL, volumes, market caps, funding rounds, or named protocols and chains. Its central claim is that as AI absorbs economic functions, human labor loses its pricing power and basic income plus virtual environments become the default social arrangement. The piece implies that capital and value will increasingly accrue to AI-driven systems rather than to human participants. What to watch next is whether AI-linked crypto assets and automation narratives keep attracting capital while human-centric economic models come under pressure.
