And isn't it fantastic that all of these more labor-intensive, boring types of jobs get filled and we'll just replace all of that.
As long as humans are around, we'll just replace all of that with other games that we play, like status types of games.
And so let's zone in.
What are your beliefs on the unemployment?
Well, yeah, it's kind of like the idea to flesh that out a bit more and add to that, David.
It's like the idea that capital no longer needs labor to function.
Like for all of its history, capital has had to hire labor in order to get jobs done, get work done.
And now it has AI tokens to substitute for human labor.
So it doesn't need labor any longer.
There's like books like, or there's an essay called The Intelligence Curse.
I don't know if you read that.
We had the authors on.
Also, Garrison Lovely's coming up with a book called Obsolete, I think, which, you know, delves into this thesis.
Basically, labor becomes obsolete in this world.
Wait, 100 years in the future, what happens?
Yeah, I mean, that's the argument of the intelligence curse, basically, that it breaks the social contract between labor and capital and governments and its citizens.
And so a new social contract has to be created.
Okay, but...
For sure.
But like, okay, but doesn't it seem a little early for that?
