So it's like this tide that's lifting all the other boats.
So everything from protein folding, so AI effectively got a Nobel Prize for that.
It's changing chemistry, biology.
AI got a Nobel Prize.
So the team at Google DeepMind did this protein folding project where they could get AI to learn to sort of map out all the different ways proteins could fold.
And that was something that would have taken their estimates like 50, 100 human years to do.
And now AI can just kind of do it on the fly.
And that team of people got the Nobel Prize for that.
But it was really AI that you could say deserved that Nobel Prize.
But my point is like that...
AI is affecting all these different industries.
It's obviously affecting media and photography and video and Hollywood and material science, physics, mathematics.
So it's basically changing everything.
So we're starting to see, or probably we'll see exponentials in all those different areas.
And that just kind of gets to this state where we can't predict the future at all.
And that's where this uncertainty is coming from.
For most people, it's probably hitting them at the moment with the whole job talk, this idea that we're going to see this sort of loss of human jobs.
And we've seen already this year a number of companies cut human workforce.
So that's where the uncertainty is coming from.
From a lot of people, they're feeling that stress.
