Now, the downside of that is everyone knows the high schoolers and the college students who use it to write the essay, just write the whole thing. That's probably not great. But if you're using it as a helper, it's probably the best writing teacher that's out there. So right there in my just tiny little world, I really don't know anything about AI, but

interior designer, editor, going down the list of jobs that like literally three months ago, I would have been like, oh, that's a very valuable job. And all of a sudden you look at this tool for a dollar a day, as you said, you're like, it's pretty good.

I guess one good analogy from my hearing, and it's probably not as powerful as what we're dealing with right now, but the closest is probably, you know, it wasn't that long ago, the late 1800s, that 80% of Americans were farmers. That's what it was. And then the industrial revolution and the tractor and the combine came along.

That's what it was. And then the industrial revolution and the tractor and the combine came along.

And all of a sudden, it was like, we don't need that many farmers doing this. What people used to do with shovels and rakes can now be done with a tractor. And a lot of those people found themselves out of work. And for them, it was very disruptive, but they also, the farmer, the farm laborer found himself pretty easy to go into the factory.

And a lot of those people found themselves out of work. And for them, it was very disruptive, but they also, the farmer, the farm laborer found himself pretty easy to go into the factory.

because they were working on, they were good at working with their hands and whatnot. And so to go from that into the factory was not an easy transition, but it was a transition they could make. Now, do you have that? That same transition did not take place from manufacturing to technology. The auto worker in Detroit could not just learn to code and work at Google like that.

And so it was much less seamless. And I think what we're dealing with now will be even more of a disruption that the people who are being disrupted out of AI are going to have a much more difficult time historically. to move in to where the economy is going next.

So the idea that an industry is disrupted and you need to go figure out something else to do, I think it's gotten progressively harder over the last 150 years.

The biggest profession, truck drivers, drivers in general.

No, it's crazy. And back to the analogy, like when the farmer had to go work in the factory, it was a transition. He may have had to move, but he did it. And that's why we went from 80% of the population were farmers to 2%, which is what it is today. But they were able to move in. The manufacturer to technology struggled.

And I think it's going to be now like the truck driver, to tell the truck driver, well, just go get a job at OpenAI kind of thing. It's funny to even think about because it's preposterous.
