In fact, Joe Rogan asked Elon Musk some version of that exact same question a few months back, and Elon's response was basically like, yeah, that's more for each individual to solve.

That's not up to me, but...

I think if we get to the point where we realize, and let's be clear, there are definitely skeptics of the current AI technology, but if we realize the full potential of AI and we're meaningfully replacing work, there will be a lot of philosophical questions for us to ask as human beings about why we do what we do and what sort of meaning we derive from it and how that affects our identity.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case.

I think some of that will come down to how they're taught and what they learn, which is a whole other issue because you're hearing from a lot of CS programs at top universities that, you know, they're struggling with how do we, you know, best appeal to our future students?

What do we do?

And it's no longer the case where if you go to a top CS school, you are, you know, the king of the hill and have your choice of whatever top jobs you want at big tech firms.

But, you know...

I think if you look at other inventions throughout history and how it's affected human behavior, I think it's only, it makes sense to think that it could easily affect people's attention.

I think it really depends on your perspective.

Certainly, as I said, there are sophomore engineers that see it as an early warning sign.

I think a lot of it also comes down to the companies and the culture they build.

Like you said, some of these workers were already burned out or maybe overutilized before, and now this is just making it worse.

And so a huge part of what is not often covered in the AI discourse is how are these companies going to better adapt their technology for their workforce?

Thanks, David.

Thanks for having me.

And you know what?

I'm happy to be talking about this with you, too.

This is going to be fun.

That's interesting.
