My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

I don't know if you listen to Mark Manson.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

He's the man.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

Basically, he wrote this, he did a podcast.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

I think it was his second most recent one.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

It's a Q&A, maybe.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

Finding Your Purpose, Failing Better, and the AI Future.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

So that was, it was basically like an end of the year Q&A, which we actually did as well.

My First Million

And he tells a story about how he built an AI product recently.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And so someone asked him, what do you think about the future of AI?

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And he was like, well, I just built an AI product.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And I realized a few things.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

One, AI is amazing in that it's better than 95% of people at certain things.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

But the vast majority of value in the world is created by people who are 99.9% better at people than human things.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

You still need these experts.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And AI can be great, but it's not an expert.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

But then he also said...

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

You know, there's maximalists who think that AI is going to come really soon and take over the world and we're all going to be worthless.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And there's other people who think that, you know, it might happen over many decades, but we're probably going to be fine.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And he was like, I tend to be in that category.

My First Million
Story Of The Most Important Founder You've Never Heard Of

And the reason being is that when a lot of people think about AI, they think that it's just going to take all of our jobs and we're not going to work anymore.
