I think it's super cool.

So we need to stop and ask ourselves, why again are we doing this as humans?

I feel that AI should be built by humanity for humanity.

And let's not forget that.

It shouldn't be by Moloch for Moloch.

What it really is now is kind of by humanity for Moloch, which doesn't make any sense.

It's for us that we're doing it.

And it would make a lot more sense if we...

Build, develop, figure out gradually and safely how to make all this tech.

And then we think about what are the kind of jobs that people really don't want to have, you know, automate them all away.

And then we ask, what are the jobs that people really find meaning in?

Like maybe...

taking care of children in the daycare center, maybe doing art, et cetera, et cetera.

And even if it were possible to automate that way, we don't need to do that, right?

You're pitching the rebranding again from Homo sapiens to Homo sentiens.

The meaningful experiences.

And just to inject some optimism in this here so we don't sound like a bunch of gloomers, we can totally have our cake and eat it.
