There is some evidence that Dario is mitigating his Doomer rhetoric.
Well, I mean, I think you should be giving me more credit than that because my most contrarian take back in January on our prediction show is that AI would lead to job gains, not job loss.
And over the past week, you've now seen the narrative shift
I'd say almost completely towards that position.
So you have the CEO of Goldman Sachs writing this in the New York Times.
You know, I don't think he'd be doing that if he felt like he was completely stepping out on a limb.
Maybe even more importantly, you had Sam and even Dario now walking back their claims of massive job loss.
And they explained why Dario said it's kind of like the 25% of work hours thing he said.
that AI might automate away 90% of someone's tasks, but the other 10% will expand to do a whole bunch of new tasks and new things, which is very similar to the types of arguments that people like me have been saying, and actually that Jensen's been saying, that just because you automate away some tasks doesn't mean that you automate away the purpose of a job, and now the worker is freed up to do new things, to do the higher complexity tasks that
David Solomon, the Goldman CEO, is talking about.
So the fact that Dario is now walking this back and coming around to my position, I think that that's kind of amazing.
And where do I go to get my apology?
Some mornings I woke up thinking, why am I going out defending these guys, these idiots?
I mean, they're scaring the public with all these dire predictions about an apocalyptic future.
There was no data to support that.
I mean, we can all debate what's going to happen in the future, and we probably should be humble about what is going to happen in the future because we don't completely know.
And this industry is very dynamic.
But you have to look at what is the data that we have so far in the current situation.
And we do not see data that supports massive job loss.
You can cite this layoff or that layoff, J-Cal, those are anecdotes.
