That's what's going to happen.

Both.

To be blunt, my personal guess, you know, and people can quibble with this, is that we're just gonna, there won't be any humans.

That's it.

That's what I mean by lose.

You know, if you, we can see in history, once you have some species or some group of people who aren't needed anymore, doesn't usually work out so well for them, right?

Yeah.

There were a lot of horses that were used for traffic in Boston, and then the car got invented, and most of them got, you know, we don't need to go there.

And if you look at humans, you know, right now, why did the labor movement succeed after the Industrial Revolution?

Because it was needed.

Even though we had a lot of Molochs and there was child labor and so on, the company still needed to have workers.

And that's why strikes had power and so on.

If we get to the point where most humans aren't needed anymore, I think it's quite naive to think that they're going to still be treated well.

You know, we say that, yeah, yeah, everybody's equal and the government will always protect them.

But if you look in practice, groups that are very disenfranchised and don't have any actual power usually get screwed.

And now in the beginning, so industrial revolution, we automated away muscle work.

But that worked out pretty well eventually because we educated ourselves and started working with our brains instead and got usually more interesting, better paid jobs.

But now we're beginning to replace brain work.

So we replaced a lot of boring stuff, like we got the pocket calculator so you don't have people multiplying numbers anymore at work.

Fine.
