The percentage of people that get to one hour. Wow. Is the same now. So we can make the video. We can publish it.

You can synthesize my voice. Sounds like me. So what is it going to be able to do? Mm-hmm. And can you give me the variety of use cases that the average person might not have intuitively conceived?

I just wanted to add some context to that because, Amjad, I saw the interview you did in a newsletter in 2023 where you said, I wouldn't prepare for AGI in the same way that I wouldn't prepare for the end of days.

It's effectively the end of days if the vision of AGI that some of these companies have comes to bear because it's called the singularity moment because you can't really predict what happens after that. And so like, how would you even prepare for that? And you want to prepare for the more likely world.

And so like, how would you even prepare for that? And you want to prepare for the more likely world.
And that world that you can actually predict is a world where, yes, there's like a massive improvements of technology and there's like insane compounding effects of technology. And it's pretty hard to keep up. From that, it appeared that in 2023, you were saying a similar thing to Brett in terms of we can't see around the corner here because it is a singularity.

Elon Musk predicts that by 2029, we will have AI with us, AGI, that surpasses the combined intelligence of all humans. And Sam Altman actually wrote a blog three months ago that I read where he said, we are confident now, Sam Altman being the founder of OpenAry, which created ChatGPT, we are confident now that we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it.

When I put these things together, I go back to the central question of what role do humans have in this sort of professional output in GDP creation if it's smarter than all humans combined, if Elon Musk is correct there, And it's able to take actions across the internet and continue to learn. This is like a central question that I'm hoping I can answer today, which is like, where do we go? Yeah.

They were doing that kind of stuff in Wuhan, no? I mean, a lot of the biotech companies are essentially using artificial intelligence. Like I can think of Abcelera, I think it's Abcelera, in Canada. Their whole business is using AI to create new vaccines using artificial intelligence and bigger data sets than we've never had before.

And I know because I was very close to one of the founders of people involved in Abcelera. So that work is going on anyway. And if you think about Wuhan, it's quite probably well known now that it came out of a lab and people working in a lab. And in that scenario, that had a huge impact and shut down the world.

The central question I'd love to answer before I throw it back open to the room is, what jobs, because I know that you have this perspective, What jobs are going to be made redundant in a world where I am sat here as a CEO with a thousand AI agents? I was thinking of all the names of the people in my company who are currently doing those jobs.
