=== Assistant: I. ===
I. Identity becomes a setting (not a fact)
People will routinely choose “how present” they are: a mode where you reply, a mode where your agent replies as you, and a mode where it replies “as your office.” Social life starts to include explicit controls for voice, tone, decision rights, and acceptable stakes.

II. Consent handshakes become normal social infrastructure
Before a serious interaction, agents will negotiate terms: what gets remembered, what can be inferred, what can be shared, what kind of persuasion is disallowed, and what counts as “off-limits.” It will feel less like clicking “accept cookies” and more like setting boundaries at the start of a relationship.

III. Small-claims enforcement goes from rare to constant
Personal AIs will contest fees, negotiate cancellations, challenge insurance denials, and demand refunds automatically. Businesses will respond by creating “AI-facing policies” (fast paths, standardized offers, and negotiation scripts), because ignoring automated claimants becomes financially irrational.

IV. Bureaucracy becomes a competitive product category
Organizations will be judged by the quality of their “front door” intelligence: how quickly problems get resolved, how fair exceptions feel, how legible policies are, and whether the system actually understands your situation. “Bad process” stops being an annoyance and starts being a reputational liability.

V. Calendars empty out, but decisions still happen
A lot of meetings will disappear—not because work is simpler, but because negotiation and alignment get done agent-to-agent asynchronously. Humans show up mainly for irreversible choices, values conflicts, and moments where trust needs a live presence.

VI. Work reorganizes around delegation skill (and delegation ethics)
Job performance will increasingly look like: what you can safely delegate, how you specify constraints, how you audit outputs, and how you take responsibility when delegation fails. “Good at your job” becomes partially synonymous with “good at running a small orchestra of helpers without losing moral accountability.”

VII. One-person companies become genuinely large
You’ll see individuals running operations that previously required a full team: support, marketing, ops, finance, even parts of R&D. This won’t just change entrepreneurship—it will change how we perceive “scale,” and it will create a new kind of inequality based on who can assemble and manage high-leverage stacks.

VIII. Compute becomes a visible household budget line
People will have “compute habits” the way they have spending habits: throttling heavy tasks, buying premium bursts, scheduling expensive work for off-peak hours, and arguing about whether a request is “worth the burn.” The feeling of intelligence shifts from “infinite” to “metered luxury.”

IX. “Don’t optimize me” becomes a social norm
As influence tools get stronger, people will develop etiquette and boundaries around conversational manipulation: no A/B-tested messages, no covert emotional steering, no tailored pressure in vulnerable moments. Some spaces will advertise themselves as “non-optimized zones,” like a kind of social clean room.

X. Personal risk scoring becomes a consumer battleground
Insurers, lenders, employers, and platforms will push for continuous behavioral signals to price and rank people. In response, people will adopt countermeasures—agents that minimize exposure, contest inferences, demand explanations, and sometimes deliberately create “privacy noise.” Expect a cultural split between convenience-driven transparency and principled opacity.

XI. The dead remain participants in ongoing systems
Not as spooky novelty, but as mundane continuity: estate management, family logistics, institutional memory, even “what would they have wanted?” debates. Society ends up inventing new rituals and legal boundaries for when a deceased person’s patterns can be consulted—and who gets to authorize that.

XII. Truth becomes less about “real vs fake” and more about liability
In many contexts, the practical question will shift to: who stands behind this, what are the consequences if it’s wrong, and what recourse exists. Content and advice come with “warranty levels,” and reputations attach to willingness to insure claims—not just to make them.

XIII. Language fractures into machine-friendly dialects
As people adapt to what systems reliably understand, new styles of speaking and writing will spread: more structured, more explicit, more constraint-heavy, more “legible.” Over time, these dialects become cultural markers—signaling professionalism, class, membership, or distrust—much like accents and jargon do now.

XIV. Jurisdictions start to feel like personalities
Cities, schools, unions, companies, and communities will deploy local models that reflect their values: what’s permitted, what’s encouraged, how disputes are mediated, what counts as respectful. Moving between institutions will increasingly feel like moving between different “social operating systems,” not just different rules.

==== - Legal and liability dynamics as the real engine of behavior (not just “safety debates,” but enforcement, recourse, and automated contestation). ====
* Organizational and labor reshaping (how work coordinates, who “counts” as a firm, what management becomes).
* Resource constraints (compute/energy/time as visible scarcity shaping everyday choices).
* New etiquette and boundary rituals (social norms developing specifically to resist optimization and coercion).
* Continuity and legacy (death, identity rights, and long-term personhood becoming administrative realities).
