Thanks for having us.

Tired and sick.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it.

And so the idea is that when AI gets really, really good, everyone will get frozen in their current class positions.

If you're a worker now, you'll never be able to earn money again because AI can do your job.

If you're a rich person now, you can spend that money to employ or rent infinite amounts of robot and machine labor to get even richer and keep building your wealth.

And so it's this like kind of slightly apocalyptic, slightly hyperbolic fear that we are all not just like a few people here and there, not just temporary underclasses, but this underclass could grow to encompass basically every current worker in American society as soon as AI gets good enough to do all of our jobs.

On the Look Back At It podcast.

1979, that was a big moment for me.

84 was big to me.

I'm Sam Jay.

And I'm Alex English.

Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it.

With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors.

Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
