There's not this crazy burnout.

Humans are still required for the more creative tasks, the more the tasks where we require accountability, like I mentioned.

And the truth is that I learned as well, they're becoming incredibly smart.

I think, I'm not sure who coined this term.

I heard it from Andre Karpathy, but

the idea of a jagged intelligence curve so lms are kind of progressing along a very jagged curve there are some areas where they're just brilliant and then there are some areas where they're shockingly bad right and so humans will always be needed to sort of pick up the slack and fill in the gaps and the question becomes if that requirement becomes smaller and smaller is that achieved by laying off everyone or is that achieved by everyone working less and obviously i think the more optimistic solution the more egalitarian solution and

Probably the better solution for humanity as a whole is that everyone works a bit less.

So yeah, that's kind of the ideal future that I see.

I think there's systems like that are never built by the companies deploying the technology.

They have to be built by the people and by governments.

I haven't seen a lot of proof that that's where we're headed.

But at the same time, I also do feel like society does have checks and balances for this thing.

Like there is a certain unemployment level that society tolerates.

And this is just borne out by history.

Like, I don't know what the unemployment level was before the French Revolution, but you know, it was, it can't have been more than 20%, I think.

So again, not a historian, but...

I think there is some balance where society as a whole will push back.

I think we already are seeing that pushback on AI.

And so, yeah, I think we're headed for very interesting times for sure.

And whether that ends up being a good thing or a bad thing, I think is very much in the balance.
