Yeah, I hate to say one-dimensional because every job is multi-dimensional.
But if I had to make a guess where economists and other people should be kind of worried, I'd say stuff like truck driving.
And stuff like warehouse workers.
Like if you Google, you know, warehouses built in China or something like that, these warehouses look nothing like what we think about warehouses.
They're completely, completely automated.
They have robots like crawling on the walls.
There's no human in the loop at all in these warehouses.
And so, oh, the warehouse gets automated.
And then the warehouse gets automated.
So part of that automation is going to be kind of loading that truck.
And then the truck gets loaded through automation.
And then that truck drives from A to B. That's fully automated.
Protection is actually a big deal.
Like if somebody stops it on the road, a Waymo truck, they could just stop it on the road and rob the truck, right?
That's one element.
