And we have to find a way to replicate a version of that so that you can preserve privacy and minimize censorship.
Because if you have to transact all day, every day online for everything, and there's no way to shield some amount of privacy, it's a very scary outcome.
Let me, Jason, give you some credit.
I do think you've put your finger on the pulse of what the problem is.
Whether we call it a perception or a misperception, the point is people are afraid for jobs, of their jobs.
That I agree with you.
I think the data about what has happened, though, is pretty flimsy that it actually has seen a bunch of job loss.
For example, when we got home from the Christmas party, Saks, last night, I turned on CNBC and it was Jim Cramer.
And he was interviewing this wonderful guy who I'd never heard speak before, but he's the founder and chairman of Service Titan.
And he had this very elegant way of describing it, which is AI will put the jobs that are purely cognitive at risk.
But when you marry cognitive ability with physical dexterity, those jobs are thriving.
And he talked about construction workers, plumbers, electricians.
In fact, this week when I was in
Abu Dhabi, we were talking about the transformation of power, right?
And that these electricians now get paid five, six, seven, $800,000 a year, which by the way, just FYI, is more than most engineers in Silicon Valley, okay?
These guys are the ones that are actually winning, but the stories are not told.
And then the incentives aren't there.
There's a bunch of things that I think need to happen to highlight where the success stories are.
They're not the obvious places that one would think.
It's not just some engineer tickling the keyboard, making millions of dollars and putting people out of work.
