What's really happening when a markdown file crashes $285 billion in market value? The common story is that AI killed enterprise software—but the reality is more complicated.

In this video, I share the inside scoop on why the per-seat SaaS pricing model is breaking while the data underneath remains valuable:

• Why Thomson Reuters dropped 16% after Anthropic shipped 200 lines of prompts
• How KPMG used AI as negotiating leverage to cut audit fees 14%
• What Jensen Huang's counter-argument gets right and what it misses
• Where the transition from UI-first to agentic-first architecture determines survival

For knowledge workers watching this unfold, the same dynamic applies—bolting AI onto existing workflows is the individual version of what just crashed the SaaS market.
