So I really think that we have the makings of a sort of dramatically happier, more fulfilled, more productive society.

And, you know, and yet we're here talking about permanent underclass.

yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Moderna just did.

I mean, the fact that Dario can write a blog post and say what happens when we cure every disease and then we debate it as a serious topic, like what world are we living in here, you know?

I also think that we're collectively worried about

always like, you know, the kind of these abstractions, the world, the average worker, the middle manager, the person who lives in the vicinity of a data center.

These are abstractions.

But our actual lives seem like they're getting more fulfilled.

We're more capable.

We're more empowered.

So I think that's also something that the revealed preferences tend to show how people are experiencing it individually.

And the stated preferences tend to show how people are sort of observing it or believe it's playing out societally.

You know, if you ask people if they want a data center in their neighborhood, most will say no.

But if you ask them if they use ChatGPT today, most people will say yes.

So that's kind of the dissonance.

The most important thing that we can do with AI to change the kind of conversation around it is make important things cheap.

There's two things that are extraordinarily important in America that have only gotten more expensive, right?

Healthcare and education.
