Gary Vaynerchuk on AI, Self-Awareness, and Why Almost Everyone Is Pretending

What was said

"People like yourself and many others listening that are highly functional, successful, and continuing to build, if they don't have a computer harness like an OpenClaw already set up, they're already behind the 1%. AI is not going to kill you. A human using AI is going to kill you."

Gary Vaynerchuk warned that successful entrepreneurs not yet using agentic AI systems like OpenClaw for continuous automation are already falling behind competitors. He compared the urgency to the early internet adoption window and stated AI is bigger than the internet, electricity, and the automobile combined, predicting it will compress decades of progress into years.
