A recent Citrini Research, a provocative macro-analysis titled \u2018The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis\u2019<\/a>, recently triggered a significant \u2018AI scare trade\u2019 across global markets. The report was a thematic thought experiment exploring a scenario where the rapid success of artificial intelligence (AI) leads to systemic economic instability or doomsday by June 2028.<\/p>\n

Shares of fintech firm Bloc<\/a>k surged as much as 27% in post-market trading after CEO Jack Dorsey announced plans to cut about 4,000 jobs, nearly half the company\u2019s workforce, in what he described as a strategic shift driven by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Does it mean AI will replace you? Here\u2019s what \u2018Rich Dad, Poor Dad\u2019 author Robert Kiyosaki says.<\/p>\n

Robert Kiyosaki\u2019s tip<\/h2>\n

Kiyosaki wrote on X: \u201cAI MAKES the RICH RICHER: Jack Dorsey just fired 4400 hundred employees. Not because the company needed the money. Dorsey admitted each employee made his company millions of dollars. Dorsey fired 4400 employee because AI could do their jobs. RICH DAD LESSON: Think like an employee and AI will replace you. Think like an entrepreneur and hire AI to make you richer\u2026.like Jack Dorsey. Take care.”<\/p>\n

RICH DAD LESSON:<\/p>\n

Think like an\u2026<\/p>\n

What the tip means<\/h2>\n

Kiyosaki argues that artificial intelligence increases productivity so dramatically that companies can generate the same or more revenue with far fewer workers. In his framing, AI doesn\u2019t just cut costs \u2014 it concentrates economic gains in the hands of business owners and shareholders. So when he says \u201cAI makes the rich richer,” he means that those who own companies or control capital benefit disproportionately from automation, while employees are more vulnerable.<\/p>\n

The \u201cRich Dad Lesson” part reflects his long-standing philosophy from Rich Dad Poor Dad: If you \u201cthink like an employee,” you depend on wages \u2014 and wages can be replaced by automation. If you \u201cthink like an entrepreneur,” you use tools (in this case AI) to increase productivity, reduce labor costs, and expand profits.<\/p>\n

In simple terms, he\u2019s saying: AI is a tool. If you\u2019re the worker, it may replace you. If you\u2019re the owner, it may multiply your wealth.<\/p>\n

Who is Robert Kiyosaki?<\/h2>\n

Kiyosaki is highly vocal about global financial instability, warning repeatedly that a major market crash is imminent and urging followers to prepare by investing in \u201creal money” like Bitcoin, gold, and silver rather than holding fiat currencies, which he calls \u201cfake money” that loses purchasing power through inflation and money printing.<\/p>\n

He argues that traditional employment and saving strategies keep people poor and that financial education, entrepreneurship, and owning income-producing assets are keys to wealth, emphasising that you shouldn\u2019t work for money but make it work for you and that AI and conventional jobs could replace workers if they don\u2019t adopt an entrepreneur mindset.<\/p>\n

Recently he sold a portion of his Bitcoin holdings at high prices while reaffirming long-term bullishness on cryptocurrencies, planning to reinvest in cash-flow businesses, and continues to stress Bitcoin\u2019s scarcity as a hedge against currency devaluation.<\/p>\n

Critics contend his predictions of crashes are frequent and exaggerated, his guidance can be oversimplified or contradictory (e.g., shifting silver advice), and some of his past business dealings and teaching methods (like focusing on anecdotes over rigorous financial data) undermine the credibility of his advice.<\/p>\n

His core financial philosophy resonates with many seeking alternatives to conventional financial advice, but experts caution that his doomsday forecasts and asset recommendations carry risk and lack universal applicability.<\/p>\n

we\u2019re making @blocks<\/a> smaller today. here\u2019s my note to the company.####<\/p>\n

today we\u2019re making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we\u2019re reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are\u2026<\/p>\n

Why Dorsey decided to layoff employees<\/h2>\n

Announcing the decision on X, Dorsey said the layoffs were not a sign of distress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not making this decision because we\u2019re in trouble. Our business is strong. Gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. But something has changed. We\u2019re already seeing that the intelligence tools we\u2019re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. And that\u2019s accelerating rapidly.”<\/p>\n

He said Block chose a single deep round of cuts rather than multiple smaller layoffs over time, arguing that a leaner structure would allow the company to grow strategically instead of reacting to market pressures.<\/p>\n

Layoffs, ghost GDP and more: What Citrini Research\u2019s \u2018scenario, not a prediction\u2019 said<\/h2>\n

The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis<\/a> is a viral, highly speculative macro scenario report published in February 2026 by Citron Research and co-authored by analysts including Alap Shah. The report doesn\u2019t present itself as a forecast but rather as a thought experiment exploring how rapid adoption of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) might drastically reshape the global economy over the next few years. In its imagined narrative from June 2028, the authors argue that advancements in AI agents could replace a large share of white-collar work, leading to mass unemployment, collapsed consumer demand, and a deep economic downturn despite rising aggregate output\u2014what the authors call \u201cGhost GDP” (production that shows up in national accounts but doesn\u2019t circulate through the real economy). The scenario describes a chain reaction where automation displaces workers, reduces spending, triggers mortgage and credit defaults, and ultimately leads to major stock market declines, with US unemployment rising to around 10.2 % and the S&P 500 down broadly from its 2026 highs.<\/p>\n

The report tapped into existing market anxiety about AI\u2019s disruptive potential and quickly spread online, contributing to sharp sell-offs in tech and software stocks when investors interpreted its dystopian scenario as a credible risk. It is framed explicitly as a \u201cscenario, not a prediction,” intended to illustrate \u201cleft tail risks” if AI integration into the economy accelerates faster than adaptation.<\/p>\n

Economists and investors have sharply divided responses. Some see it as a useful warning highlighting broader questions about labor displacement and demand in an AI-dominated economy, while many mainstream economists and firms such as Citadel Securities argue the scenario is based on flawed logic and unrealistic assumptions\u2014for example, underestimating how new industries, fiscal policy, and consumer demand could evolve. Critics also say it resembles past doomsday narratives that didn\u2019t materialize and oversimplifies complex macroeconomic relationships.<\/p>\n

The report has categorically said that it is not a prediction of what will happen in future but a case study of all the scenarios that may unfold if the current AI rollout<\/a> continues. \u201cWhat follows is a scenario, not a prediction. This isn\u2019t bear porn or AI doomer fan-fiction. The sole intent of this piece is modeling a scenario that\u2019s been relatively underexplored,” the report says.<\/p>\n
