The problem is that a lot of people, even though they get purpose from work, they say they hate their job, but they still get purpose.

They're still doing something for the world.

They're getting money for their family or whatever.

They're supporting people and routine, and they're getting up in the morning, and that gives a lot to people.

That's one of the reasons, like I said, the retirement's actually not good for your health.

And so how we manage that transition is going to be really important.

Um, and you hear a lot of the, you know, the tech people and Elon Musk, you know, these kind of people talking about all these future scenarios, but we're not hearing governments need to start taking this really seriously and thinking about it and how, you know, if we, what would that transition be like?

And there's a lot of money that's going to be needed to help people through this.

And where does that money come from?

Um,

Because we're going to see less jobs, but at the same time, we're going to see an explosion of AI agents, billions of them.

And I'll sometimes rephrase- What's an agent?

It's a type of AI which runs autonomously.

So you give it skills, you can give it a personality, a skill set, and you say, go off and do this.

Your objective and goals are these things, and don't do these things, and it can spin up its own agents.

And so it'll go off and do stuff while you're doing something else.

Yeah.

So it's very different to sitting on a computer, looking at a little square chat window and chatting instructions, you know, do this, do that, and getting the feedback straight away.

So that's what's, these agents are where AI is at at the moment, and this is the year of agents.

And so a lot is going to change this year.
