It can be like here.

You're attached to your head.

The AI can be telling you what to do.

It's like you've got this coach, this manager, doing exactly the physical movements so that you can build these robots.

Yeah.

I mean, it's actually, completely honestly, this is something that I, you know, less aware than get like a lot of intrusive thoughts about.

It's like, I know all these people I was close to and like good friends with.

And we're all engaged in this kind of ethical project together.

And now some of them are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, even kind of billions and so on.

And from an ethical perspective, I think it's good that I have made all this noise about saying like, well, this is my income and I'm not gonna live beyond that because it means that I kind of can't get tempted by, it would be extremely embarrassing for me if I said, well, actually I'm gonna give up on all that and take the big salary.

Obviously I could do that in order to donate, but I think the bottleneck that we have is much more about ideas, much more about ability to speak freely

than it is about money.

And so, yes, it's this very striking thing, seeing so many people I know become extraordinarily wealthy, but it's an unexpected benefit of the pledge that I took.

That sort of temptation is off the table for me.

This episode is brought to you by Fuse Energy.

Energy policy rarely stays in Westminster for long, usually a rise for the bill.

And from the 1st of April, 75% of renewables obligation costs will come off electricity bills and move into general taxation.

Because policy sets the floor.

The saving itself is automatic.

What suppliers offer beyond that isn't, and that's where real competition operates.
