10 years is not enough for it to fully diffuse through the economy.

If you look at the history of working hours over the last, call it 150 years since the Industrial Revolution, do you think that human beings have been starting to work more or work less over time?
Bonnie Blockchain

People are working more.
Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Bonnie Blockchain

And even in the richest percentages of those countries, people are working more.

So it's not true that you would think that like, okay, well, why are we are like, you know, Victorian aristocrats?

AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain
Why don't we just hang out all day and eat crumpets and like talk about gossip?
Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain
And the answer is that.
Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain
Um, but we're certainly doing easier jobs than like, you know, backbreaking labor or like the kind of conditions under which people worked.

Like, I mean, people used to, you know, people just 50 years ago, they worked without AC, you know, they worked without, there was no TV, there were no phones, there was no email, there was no anything.
Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain
So like, obviously in that sense, jobs are way easier than they were before.
Bonnie Blockchain

Bonnie Blockchain
