My First Million · I dropped out of college and built a $3.6B company from scratch · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

And I've just seen very limited evidence

that suggests that we don't want to go and discover the next cure for the next niche problem that people have, or the next new form of entertainment people want to experience, or the next new consumer product that people want to go and sell, or the next new podcast that wants to be created.

And so if you don't believe that that's going to happen,

then sure, then you would basically believe we have that abundance sort of comes at the expense of jobs and of us, you know, doing things.

And so that theory has to be that basically, you know, the agents are gonna do all of effectively the useful work.

which then frees us up so much that there's really not much else left.

And I just think we will find a way to create a ton more work for ourselves for better or worse.

Like it's not obvious that my view is particularly like utopian.

Like I think to some extent Elon's vision

to his credit, is actually a far more utopian one than the Doomers.

It's actually funny, because they believe in the same underlying technology trend.

So they basically both believe in, if you extrapolate out to AGI, then the Doomers believe that destroys us, and Elon believes that we get this utopia where everything is just done for us.

And I kind of am more just, until proven otherwise,

I'm just in a third camp, which is like, it's like the same progress of maybe both of those two, but with more of a pragmatic outcome, which is like, we use that technology to just then create a new set of needs that we have to go in all kind of support and fulfill.

It's just like a very long list of things that the world is still going to effectively value.

Like the world is going to still value in-person education for children.

They're going to value childcare.

They're going to value going to a restaurant and having

you know, human interaction.

They're going to value going to a show.
