They all speak all the languages. Anything that you could call someone or ask someone over the internet to do, they're there 24-7 and they're 25 cents an hour, if that. So like if that really happened, like if we really did just discover that there were a billion extra people on the planet who all had PhDs and were happy to work for almost free,

that would have a massive disruptive impact on society. Like society would have to rethink how everyone lives and works and gets meaning. And that's if it just stays at a median level of intelligence. Like it's pretty profound.

Seize it and then there'll be people who don't. I imagine it almost like a marathon race. And AI has two superpowers. One superpower is to distract people, such as TikTok algorithm. That's right. And the other superpower is to make you hyper-creative, so you become a hyper-consumer or a hyper-creator.

And in this marathon race, the vast majority of people have got their shoes tied together because AI is distracting them. Some people are running traditional race. Some people have got a bicycle and some people have got a Formula One vehicle.

And it's going to be very confronting when the results go on the scoreboard and you say, oh, wait a second, there's a few people who finished this marathon in about 30 minutes and there's a lot of us who finished in like 18 hours because we had our shoes tied together.

And I can't understand if we've got equal opportunity why there's so much disparity between how fast it, you know, and, you know, I'm using an analogy but this idea that, you know, someone like a lot of people are going to start earning a million dollars a month. And a lot of people are going to say, hey, I can't even get a job for $15 an hour. There's going to be this kind of interesting wedge.

Well, that does happen. That is starting to happen. People get phone calls and it sounds like their daughter and I've lost my phone and I'm borrowing a friend's phone and all of that sort of stuff. What's interesting is that I think you make a really good point

I worry about the impact on society and yet when I look at every single individual who uses AI regularly, it almost has nothing but profoundly positive impact on their life. I look at people like I was just spending some time with my parents-in-law who are in their 70s and early 80s and they use AI regularly for all sorts of things that they love.

find incredibly valuable and that improves the quality of their life. I personally did an M&A, a mergers and acquisitions deal where I bought a company last year and the AI was so powerful at helping that process. The conversations were transcribed and they were turned into letters of intent and then press releases and legal documents. And we probably shaved $100,000 worth of

uh costs and and we sped up the whole process and it was pretty magical to see how how it could happen with that said you know there's there's all of these like well a hundred thousand dollars worth of lawyers didn't get paid right so well what i want to know yeah but if we look back at the invention of the cell phone or the invention of the social media platforms

Sorry, you also used AGI, artificial general intelligence. It'd be interesting to know what your definition of AGI is.
