I completely disagree.

It means we don't need to think about the people anymore.

I think we're in a, you know, we are people and we are a world that is, you know, populated by people in the places where we want to put robots, by and large, unless they're like in the depths of the ocean.

Even then, you still need an interface to talk to them from afar.

You're always going to have people in the loop somehow with these systems.

And so I think the human interface aspect of it cannot be overemphasized.

The kind of like labor market side of it, there's a lot of concern about robots, you know,

I don't think I've done an interview with anybody in the media for the last 20 years without someone asking me, you know, are robots going to take all the jobs or are robots going to rise up and kill us all?

Okay.

Right.

So I think, I think neither is going to happen.

I look at robotics as a technology development in a long, and even AI, it's a long history of technology that we as a creative species have developed.

And there's been, you know, you can, you can pick any point along the way.

There's been human cry over technology.

This will be this will be the one that ends, you know, life in society as we know it.

Right.

And it's never turned out to be like that.

Right.

Things are genuinely disruptive.

Right.
