Think about chess, okay?

For years, people played chess, very popular.

Then they invented computers that could play chess and a computer could beat any human being, even the best chess champions, right?

Machine always wins.

But now, even though you can play chess on your phone, you can play chess on your computer, you can play chess against other people virtually, the business of chess, the live tournaments, the chess masters who have programs, that is not just more lucrative than anything else, but it's a cultural phenomenon, a bigger cultural phenomenon than ever because it's adjacent to the ubiquitous availability of chess.

Okay, so I feel pretty good about me and my business because my business is not something that AI can duplicate.

But for a lot of you, exactly what you're doing now, exactly assuming you love what you do, it's going to be replaced.

And so your job is to read that essay by Schumer.

Your job is to understand the principles of what you need to do to position yourself to be in the haves, to be part of understanding the power of this new technology.

Every day I understand it more vividly, literally every day.

I'm using it, not an hour a day, but I need to try for that.

I'm understanding it better.

This is going to be massive in politics.

It's going to be massive as a political issue, as the parties try to side with people's fear.

And what I'm telling you is, side with hope.

Side with human possibility.

Don't think of this as something that's going to destroy humanity.

Think of it as something that's going to empower humanity.

And be on the have side to be empowered yourself.
