Introduction
AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace, beating even the expectations of top researchers. It has already surpassed human capabilities in reading comprehension, language understanding, common sense reasoning, mathematics, and is rapidly approaching elite-level software development.
Until now, AI has functioned primarily as human augmentation, boosting productivity without outright replacing workers. But that era is ending soon. With recent breakthroughs, AI is transitioning from augmentation to full replacement in cognitive and analytical fields. AI agents in particular, are going to replace many knowledge workers, increasing productivity and profitability.
Physical AI Is Heralding the End of Blue-Collar Jobs
Many assume manual labor is safe, believing that automation is limited to digital work. This is not the case. The rise of Physical AI, with humanoid robots, is accelerating at software-like speeds. Companies such as Tesla, Figure, and Unitree are already shipping increasingly capable robots, and the rate of improvement is exponential. While they are not in mass production, this is just a matter of time.
Most humans canβt do a backflip while robots like 'Atlas' can. Soon, these machines will surpass humans not just in raw strength but in manufacturing, logistics, construction, household chores and even sports. The idea that "some jobs will always require a human" is soon becoming obsolete.
Two Unstoppable Forces
We have two revolutions converging simultaneously to reshape the global economy: Digital AI replacing white-collar jobs and Physical AI replacing blue-collar jobs.
It is very likely that many governments will try to slow this down. Some European countries will resist, attempting to legislate against artificial intelligence and automation, but it wonβt work. The United States already sees AI as a strategic imperative, while China needs AI and humanoid robots to remain a manufacturing superpower. China must replace low-cost labor as wages rise and the workforce shrinks. At the same time, it must support an aging population; with fewer young workers, automation is the only way to provide elder care and maintain economic stability.
This socio-economic revolution is inevitable.
When Capital No Longer Needs Labor, How Does Labor Acquire Capital?
This question, posed by Emad Mostaque, the founder of Stability AI, is one of the most critical of our time. For centuries, economic balance relied on the relationship between labor and capital. Workers earned wages, allowing them to accumulate capital and become owners of the economic engine themselves. The relationship between capital and labor has always been complex, but there was always a relationship.
So what happens when labor is no longer needed?
Digital AI will be smarter, more efficient, and immune to fatigue. Physical AI never complains, never gets sick, and remains 100% focused on the task at hand. Both operate 24/7, without rest, without limits. Humans cannot compete. In a world where machines do most of the work, how do humans secure ownership of capital? How do they participate in the economy?
The answer to this question will define the next era of civilization.
This Is Why XMAQUINA Exists
XMAQUINA is built on a simple but urgent premise: the future must be owned, not merely endured.
We cannot predict every detail of the future, but we know where it is headed. AI and robotics will reshape the economy, and those who fail to adapt will be left behind.
XMAQUINA is a collective, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) with a clear mission: to ensure its members have a stake in the future, rather than being displaced by it. We refuse to be passive observers. Instead of relying on governments, legacy institutions or the will of companies, we are taking the future into our own hands.
Our collective recognizes that automation is inevitable, but who controls it is still undecided. Thatβs why as a decentralized organization, we are committed to owning the future, governing the systems that shape it, and ensuring that technological progress serves humanity rather than erasing it.
Our foundation is built on:
Co-ownership: To have a stake in the future, the DAO must secure ownership in the most innovative and disruptive companies in the Physical AI space. This includes private firms developing cutting-edge robotics and automation systems. Retail investors are typically locked out of these opportunities, as private company shares are reserved for venture capitalists and private equity firms. However, by pooling capital within a DAO, we gain access to high-impact investments that would otherwise be out of reach.
Co-creation: Technology should not be controlled by a handful of corporations. We believe that open-source development is crucial to keeping innovation accessible and decentralized. Projects like DeepSeek demonstrate that open-source AI and robotics will play a major role in shaping the future, ensuring progress is not monopolized.
Co-governance: Power should be shared, not concentrated. The DAO is governed collectively by its members, who stake the DEUS token to participate in decision-making. This ensures that critical choices about AI and robotics are made transparently and democratically, rather than being dictated by a select few.
