Technologies create new jobs.

We can't necessarily anticipate them beforehand what they're going to be.

And AI is like kind of no different ultimately.

Only the invisible hand knows.

I love him to death, but Adam Uzimek wrote a piece several weeks ago, and he was like, well, the player piano disrupted the existence of piano players.

But hotels still pay money for a human who will have a piano player, an actual piano player in the lobby rather than a player piano, which is true.

But, like, not many people have jobs that are equivalent.

And the thing that, like, it's like, oh, you know, it's like, I want to get, like, this insurance form reimbursed or whatever, this insurance reimbursed.

Like, I don't care about the human touch on that, per se.

There's something very... I'm happy to have the equivalent of the player piano there.

OpenAI just spent a ton of money on TBPN.

I really love those guys.

They're both very good-looking guys, man.

So I sort of feel like, okay, this is the biggest AI company in the world sort of making a bet on these great characters.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So maybe that is the future, just being nice and charismatic.

Anyway, we need to talk more seriously about this because I don't know.

I kind of feel maybe this is not just going to be like the Steam Engine or whatever.

It might be very different.

Maybe we won't have jobs.
