Yeah, massively. The immediate impact on jobs is that, and it's really interesting, huh? Again, we're stuck in the same prisoner's dilemma. The immediate impact is that AI will not take your job. A person using AI will take your job, right?
So you will see within the next few years, maybe next couple of years, you'll see a lot of people upskilling themselves in AI to the point where they will do the job of 10 others who are not.

Yeah, or give the money to other humans that can build control code, that can figure out how we can stay safe. This sounds like an emergency. How do I say this? Remember when you played Tetris?

Okay. When you were playing Tetris, there was, you know, always, always one block that you placed wrong. And once you placed that block wrong, the game was no longer easier. You know, it started to gather a few mistakes afterwards and it starts to become quicker and quicker and quicker and quicker. When you placed that block wrong, you sort of told yourself, okay, it's a matter of minutes now.

There were still minutes to go and play and have fun before the game ended, but you knew it was about to end. This is the moment. We've placed the wrong. And I really don't know how to say this any other way. It even makes me emotional. We fucked up. We always said, don't put them on the open internet.

Don't teach them to code and don't have agents working with them until we know what we're putting out in the world, until we find a way to make certain that they have our best interest in mind.

Because humanity's stupidity is affecting people who have not done anything wrong. our greed is affecting the innocent ones. The reality of the matter, Stephen, is that this is an arms race, has no interest in what the average human gets out of it. It is all about every line of code being written in AI today is to beat the other guy. It's not to improve the life of the third party.

people will tell you this is all for you. And you look at the reactions of humans to AI. I mean, we're either ignorant, people who will tell you, oh, no, no, this is not happening. AI will never be creative. They will never compose music. Like, where are you living? Okay. Then you have the kids, I call them, where, you know, all over social media, it's like, oh, my God, it squeaks. Look at it.

It's orange in color. Amazing. I can't believe that AI can do this. We have snake oil salesmen. which are simply saying, copy this, put it in ChatGPT, then go to YouTube, nick that thingy, don't respect copyright of anyone or intellectual property of anyone, place it in a video, and now you're going to make $100 a day. Snake oil salesman.

Of course, we have dystopian evangelists, basically people saying, this is it, the world is gonna end, which I don't think is reality, it's a singularity. You have utopian evangelists that are telling everyone, oh, you don't understand, we're gonna cure cancer, we're gonna do this. Again, not a reality. And you have very few people that are actually saying, what are we gonna do about it?

And the biggest challenge, if you ask me, what went wrong in the 20th century? Interestingly, is that we have given too much power to people that didn't assume the responsibility. So, you know, I don't remember who originally said it, but of course, Spider-Man made it very famous. With great power comes great responsibility. We have disconnected power and responsibility.
