Yeah.
So there was a television series called Humans.
In Humans, we have extremely capable humanoid robots doing everything.
And at one point, the parents are talking to their teenage daughter, who's very, very smart.
And the parents are saying, oh, you know, maybe you should go into medicine.
And the daughter says, you know, why would I bother?
It'll take me seven years to qualify.
It takes the robot seven seconds to learn.
So nothing I do matters.
And is that how you feel about?
So I think that's a future that, in fact, that is the future that we are
moving towards.
I don't think it's a future that everyone wants.
That is what is being created for us right now.
So in that future, assuming that, you know, even if we get halfway, right, in the sense that, okay, perhaps not surgeons, perhaps not, you know, great violinists, there'll be pockets where perhaps humans will remain good at it.
Where?
The kinds of jobs where you hire people by the hundred will go away.
Okay.
where people are in some sense exchangeable, that you just need lots of them.
And, you know, when half of them quit, you just fill up those slots with more people.
