People have to be able to walk into buildings, pick up a phone, call other people in this country, elderly people, drunk people, confused people, and swindle them out of retirement.

It's literally our entire economy.

I don't know what you think is going to happen when you get rid of that.

Somebody's got to be able to sit there with a fucking five-hour energy and a lead sheet that looks like this of names, and they got to call all of those people, and they got to try to get them to take a reverse mortgage out on their house.

If you destroy white-collar work, you're going to have all of these people in the street.

Maybe algorithm-driven changes will happen slowly, giving workers plenty of time to adjust.

Maybe white-collar types have 12 to 18 months left.

Maybe the AI-related job carnage will be contained to a sliver of the economy.

Maybe we should be more worried about a stock market bubble than an AI-driven labor revolution.

I don't think anyone knows what will happen or even what is happening now.

AI technology is changing at an exponential pace and changing the workforce in a thousand hard-to-parse ways.

And the people that are making the AI, the people that are really enthused about this stuff, are very happy to see the entire world destroyed.

I mean, it's true.

It's one of the only products that I've ever seen a mass marketing campaign for that they will tell you, the people that are making the product will tell you they're going to destroy the world.

And they say it very calmly.

And they're like, you know, Sam Altman's like, well, I think that we should all keep in mind that before the complete and total destruction of the world, we're going to have a real increase in productivity.

I've never seen a product like this.

This would have been like if McDonald's in the 90s was like, we're giving you cancer.

You're all getting cancer.

No one, you got to bury the lead a little bit here.
