The Dallas Fed data is the first empirical proof that AI is creating a "missing rung" problem — entry-level jobs in AI-exposed fields are disappearing while experienced worker wages rise. This breaks the traditional career development model where new graduates gain tacit knowledge through entry-level codifiable work. If this holds, we're looking at a generation of workers who can't get the experience needed to become "AI-augmented" seniors because the entry jobs that provided that path are gone.

Combined with the supply chain risk precedent (US government can now effectively ban AI vendors from contractor ecosystem), crypto-native AI agents operating outside traditional procurement become the only actor class immune to government coercion.
