But human desire is not fixed.
And when you're thinking about AI, oftentimes people think desire is fixed, meaning once you hit a certain level of productivity, you will not do stuff.
And he's like, that's just false.
For example, if we look at the Industrial Revolution, people said the same thing when certain stuff started happening.
And then you look at the Victorian era where we started getting electricity, things like that, people made the same claim of...
We're not going to work again.
We need universal income and all this stuff.
And he's like, humans just always want more.
And because of that, I don't think that there's ever going to be a point where we are useless.
It's just going to be different.
And I thought that was a really great perspective on it.
And that's one of the first times I've heard a perspective on it, other than maybe Dharmesh talking about it, where I felt calmer.
Where I was like, we're just going, desires is not fixed.
We will evolve.
And that, I was going to say that, that, like, the need for, like, human craft goods.
So, for example, you could buy anything you want, but, like, some people still want, like, the handmade shit from Italy and they want to know the story behind it.
And when you're talking about the story about him playing the Chinese guy and the Korean guy, like, there's still, a human is half of the story.
And arguably, like...
I mean, arguably, it is necessary to the story.
We are still drawn to stories.
