I think my position on this is... And we kind of... Like, there's an interesting already...

kind of shift is happening here in San Francisco where people are striving for more IRL events, even though like literally everyone working on AI, right?

But people want to meet, people want to spend time together, et cetera, while their agents are running.

And so I think for your question about the kind of the humanity part, I think we're actually going to go like in some ways back to more real world human things.

Like I usually say like, hey, in the post-AGI world,

Yes, you're going to continue doing the things you like to do, right?

It's kind of, it moves us up on the Maslow Pyramid in a way.

And, you know, there was, I mean, there's examples of, you know, people who are well off or just doing whatever they want, right?

They're still enjoying what they're doing.

There's people who are, you know, whatever, wasting their time.

That's fine too.

When we had COVID, right, there was a bunch of people who actually didn't need to, like, didn't need to work because stuff was closed.

And so if their kind of basic needs were covered, then they were able to go and kind of find meaning in different ways.

So I think, like, the humanity part...

really will allow us to go back to some of the things that like people value themselves individually and kind of spend more time there.

I use examples of sports, right?

Sport doesn't, on itself, doesn't create GDP, right?

The fact that, you know, somebody runs or swims faster than the other person doesn't really produce GDP.

It's not, you know, increasing utility, but it's extremely kind of fulfilling for the people who are participating in it.

And it's entertaining for other people to watch.
