We're not trying to solve the problem of, you know, building a Dyson swarm of like artificial robots, you know, on some other planet.

We're trying to build these systems, not so they can conquer the world, but so that they can interface with our society and improve that society.

And there's a maximum rate at which that can happen if we actually want to do it in a human and humane way.

So I think that may be right in the short term.

One of the things is, you know, Anthropic and other companies are building these very large data centers, right?

This has been in the news.

Like, are we building them now?

too big are they using electricity and driving up the prices for you know for local tax so you know there's lots of excitement and lots of concerns about them but one of the things about the data centers is like you need a lot of electricians and you need a lot of construction workers to build them now i should be honest actually data centers are not super labor-intensive jobs to operate we should be honest about that but they are very labor-intensive jobs to construct

And so, you know, we need a lot of electricians.

We need a lot of construction workers.

The same for, you know, various kinds of manufacturing plants.

And, you know, again, as kind of all more and more of the intellectual work is done by AI, what are the compliments to it?

Things that happen in the physical world.

So I think this kind of.

Seems very I mean, it's hard to predict things, but like it seems very logical that this would be true in the short run.

Now, in the longer run, maybe just the slightly longer run, robotics is advancing quickly.

And we shouldn't exclude that even without very powerful A.I.,

There are things being automated in the physical world.

You know, if you've seen a Waymo or a Tesla recently, I think we're not that far from the world of self-driving cars.

And then I think AI itself will accelerate it because if you have these really smart brains, one of the things they're going to be smart at is how do you design better robots and how do you operate better robots?
