So with Elon's track record in predicting what he'll be able to do with technology,

I think he's got a pretty solid track record.

So when he says these humanoid robots are going to be better at surgery or cleaning or whatever than humans in short order, sometimes predicting, you know, timeframes of 2027, 2028, I tend to believe him.

Is he lying?

Because if he's telling the truth, what we're seeing is both the disruption of intelligence, but also one could say the disruption of our muscles at the same time.

And I can't think of a comparable like the Industrial Revolution, where humans, like two real...

sort of professional productivity driving forces of their brains and their physicality are being disrupted at the same time.

And just to give you another story to overlay onto this, my co-founder of my company called Third Web, big company, we've raised 30 odd million dollars.

It's out in San Francisco.

I went down to his...

entrepreneurship accelerator.

I've not been there in two years.

And I arrived and I was like, why is everyone building robotics?

And he said to me, he goes, Stephen, the robot pieces have been here for decades.

We've always had them.

What we've been missing and the expensive part was the intelligence.

And he toured me through this 40,000 square feet building called Ethinc down in San Francisco.

And I saw a robot

cooking with a robot arm making food i saw a robot making perfume for you whatever perfume you wanted this big machine that just makes it for you he says because we've got intelligence and we've always had the machinery there's going to be this huge explosion of robotics that we've always been waiting for intelligence was the missing piece and now he says it costs pennies and everyone there is building not software anymore they're all building robotics and so for me i was like wow

The future is going to look very, very different, I think, in short order than the past.
