There is an interesting disruption that doesn't require us to get to 100% job displacement.

You know, at 10, 20% job displacement, you're in a very different economy and an economy that is clearly spiraling downwards, don't you think?

You have to imagine all of that intelligence is sooner or later going to be not replaced entirely in the first stages.

But if, you know, the job of four assistances can be done by one, then the job of four paralegals can be done by one.

then the job of a massive marketing team can be done by, you know, a smaller marketing team.

It's not that jobs will end first.

It's that, you know, productivity gains will make businesses not want to have as many people, costly humans, you know, costly emotional humans, when the job can be predictably done for cheaper.

For a fact.

You see, the interesting, again, the difference between the overhype and the underhype.

Most of the conversation is around humanoids.

Nobody's talking about self-driving cars.

And a self-driving car is a robot.

It's a functional robot that doesn't look like humans.

The investment you have to put into humanoids is a little more to learn skills that allows that machine to fit into the world.

But specialized robots are going to do the job very, very quickly.

And so you can easily see that the first wave, like you had the conversation with Uber CEO,

is going to be specialized robots replacing drivers.

It's going to be specialized robots, unfortunately, doing the killing.

It's going to be specialized robots, unfortunately, doing all of the, you know, intelligence work, law enforcement work.

They don't have to look like a human.
