Well, you're exactly right. So actually, when I was spending a lot of time in Silicon Valley, there was a lot of this talk, and they're talking about universal living wage or basic wage. And I was like, what are you fucking talking about? You're going to give everyone 100 grand? And they're like, well, the synthesis of AI is all human endeavor done by machines. I'm like, wow, come on.

So I was kind of the skeptic. This is 10 years ago. And now all of this shit has come true. They were already thinking about this back then because they're also saying exactly what you said, which is let's say quantum computing happens and AI at the same time, which is probably three years away. One quantum computer has enough computing power that all the existing computers in the world today.

And then you add AI to that. So there's a whole new. fucking tech revolution where it becomes even more rich people who own shit and even more. So they're like, unless you take care of those people, they're gonna come, because we're the nerds, they're gonna come with the hammers and the currency's gonna be bullets, it's not gonna be chips. And so it's Planet of the Apes.
