I'm less concerned about that, a lot less concerned.
But I am concerned about some level of death with AI, and that has already begun to happen.
There are reports that we use AI in targeting that girls' school in Tehran where we killed over 160 kids.
innocent schoolgirls.
So if that's what AI is going to bring us in precision, as Kevin called it, no, thank you.
I'm not interested in that kind of non-precision.
And I would much rather have human beings involved in life and death decisions.
And I'm super worried that AI is going to be used more in the military.
And no, I do not trust Palantir.
So now in terms of universal basic income, I mean, think about it, guys.
If a coder is making $120,000, you know, I don't know where that puts him in two years in, seven years in.
It's a healthy salary.
It's not the world's greatest salary, but it's a good, good salary for a middle class person in America.
Then you switch to UBI, you'd be lucky to get $3,000 a month.
That's $36,000 a year.
you're going to go from $120,000 to $36,000?
That is going to be devastating, even if you magically got universal basic income passed in America immediately as the wave of unemployment hit.
But I don't think that's going to happen either.
So is the wave of unemployment going to hit?
Well, if you notice, Kevin actually didn't address that at all, because there's no question that it's going to happen.
