2025 Was the Year AI Crossed the Line… and There’s No Going Back

2025 was the year AI crossed the line.

This wasn’t just about better models or flashy demos.
In 2025, AI became autonomous, economically useful, self-improving — and embedded itself into society.

From trillion-dollar infrastructure bets and AI agents entering the economy, to models beating humans at math and coding, self-improving systems, government intervention, world models, humanoid robots, and AI going fully mainstream…

This video breaks down the moments from 2025 that actually mattered — and why there’s no going back now.

Welcome to the year AI stopped being theoretical.
