Maybe there's some mixture of play and new ways of... We'll get meaning from connecting with other people.

We'll get meaning from understanding the things AIs are doing.

AIs will help us brainstorm ways to get meaning.

I'm optimistic in the long run.

I do worry in the short run there will be the equivalent of... Here's another analogy.

I think when there's groups that have not until recently encountered... It's only been the last couple hundred years that they've encountered modern civilization.

They get hooked to things like alcohol much more easily.

Genetically, they're more predisposed to alcoholism.

I think this is true of Native Americans.

But over time, we've built up defenses of a civilization from everything from the level of genetics to culture or whatever to these kinds of vices that came along with the agricultural revolution.

I think it will be similar here where, yes, there will be incredible AI slop that will be generated that will be just gripping people on their phones and they're just in bed jerking off all day and scrolling to the things AI is making.

And over time, I'm hoping...

maybe not even in our generation, but if we get things right, we will have a vision of what it means to be a fulfilled and actualized human being, even in a world where the work is being done by the AIs.

I think some people are careful, but in general, people really believe in the potential of this technology.

I mean, I don't think people should just count on that.

Just because people are talking about it, whatever, right?

Anybody can talk about it.

I'm talking about it.

It's not like fixing the issue.

But people are like, this is really a thing that the topics we've been talking about really do get discussed in detail in Silicon Valley.
