The production of porn, for example. In my opinion, that is highly likely to destroy vastly more wealth than it produces. But it's a very rich industry for a reason. What I'm getting at is we have a new problem with the AI component. Maybe it's taken the magnitude of the problem that we had and it's multiplied it by 10. But it's not a new problem.

We are still trying to figure out what to do with the fact that you're taking an animal and Out of the habitat that properly inherently incentivizes it and putting it into an environment in which the incentives aren't really well built. And I agree with you.

Whatever sympathy I may have had for the idea of universal basic income is gone because I do think it would produce at best a kind of learned helplessness.

Right. So what we really want is a system in which whatever the new opportunities are going to be in the world where AI is available everywhere and very sophisticated, we want people to figure out how to leverage it on our behalf.

And mind you, we could have the same conversation before the World Wide Web, and we could talk about, well, what's it going to be like when you can source information from anywhere? What kinds of opportunities is that going to create? And can we incentivize people to figure out what those opportunities are? Yada, yada, yada.

So the AI version is the same problem, but at a different order of magnitude. So I don't know what the solution is about how you create that proper incentive structure, but we are going to be living in a world in which meaning and wealth are of a fundamentally different nature.
