And a lot of that money is going to be pouring into them.
And then what happens to like the mass of other people who suddenly find themselves struggling to find a thing to do with their time?
And there's a version of this world where it's like kind of dystopic.
It's like, oh, God, no.
I have no money.
There's like a massive unemployment and there's a lot of just like upheaval.
But there's also like a positive vision of this, which is like, you know, like all these jobs that have to be done in the world, if people don't have to do them, you know, like what other exciting things would they be doing if they didn't have to work, if they could choose what they spend their time with?
And like, how can we design for that kind of future instead of the dystopic one?
It's the kind of like thing that I'm most excited about.
Yeah, that's also another version of it.
There's one version that I was describing earlier, which is dystopic, where it's like a few people hold most of the power and they make all the decisions.
And a different version of that as well is what you mentioned, where if it's an AI system instead who is then making all the decisions, we are then relying on the fact that these AI systems are actually...
then running all these processes or running all these jobs in the way that is actually beneficial to us and that they won't someday do some quirk of the way that we designed them or some way that they end up like, um,
deciding to act because we don't fully understand how these AI systems work, decide to go against us or to do things that do more disempowering to us rather than helping us live lives that we feel more satisfied by.
And I guess we don't really know the answer to how it will happen, but we can't say either way.
We're certain that it will or it won't, but there is a real possibility that this could happen.
There is like one branch of thinking that if we could ensure that we encode the things that we value into AI systems, we can make sure that they always make decisions that match the kind of like values that we have as humans.
So if we value like happiness, like freedom, autonomy, and like in what priority order to what like portfolio of things and what edge cases, it kind of like...
has the human spirit in the same way that we do, then perhaps it's fine for an AI system to then be making these really complicated, complex decisions for us, because we know that it will act in our best interests.
And this is one branch of work that people are doing.
