You know, people are worried, right, about AI white collar wipeout.

I'm worried.

So maybe the question should be, what would have to be true about either the nature of AI capabilities or the relationship between tasks and job?

What would have to be true such that the scenario could unfold?

That's interesting because, you know, obviously...

a lot of people in freight will say, the way you make that argument is very different than they'll say, well, yeah, driving a truck is much more than the driving part, right?

So it's like, okay, you could have a Waymo truck, but who's going to deliver it?

Who's going to deliver it?

But to your point...

You know, if like one of the tasks that a truck driver has to do is that coordination once they've gotten to the warehouse.

But if the warehouse is already automated, these are complementary things.

Okay.

I get that.

But on the other hand, even going back 10 years, I think if you went to Davos, there were probably people saying truck, I'm worried about the future of truck driving because AVs have been around as like a thing since before AI, general AI.

So in terms of like post-Chad GBT jobs, et cetera, that would be concerned with like, I don't know, what do you see out there or what are you looking at?

So it's not really like a new job per se, but it is freeing up the software engineers to like ask about different things or explore different avenues that they hadn't previously done.

Finally, we're freed up from the drudgery of our day-to-day life to work on that.

But no, but like this gets to a sort of, you know, the big question is like, you mentioned one scenario is just that like the technology can do all the tasks, right?

How seriously do you take that possibility?

Because then it's game over, right?
