I was an E5, homie.

I'd go back and be Army E7.

Y'all get ready for ballers.

E7s make $3,932.

Folks, don't get it twisted.

This is E7 as an engineer, not E7 in the Army.

You make chump change.

But you know what I do think is going to happen, Vinny?

And, Tom, I think here's what's going to happen.

I think employees are going to shrink at a lot of these companies, but they're going to make a lot of money.

So if you're there, so if you were making $379, you're going to make $1.5.

If you were making $1.5, you're going to make $3.2.

If you were making $3.2, you're going to make $7.8.

I think it's going to be the other way around to keep those guys, but it is something that a lot of people are thinking about and worried about.

And I think we're headed in that direction.

We have to start thinking about this more existentially than literally.

The value of money, the way we perceive wealth, the way we perceive taking care of people in society, all has to shift to accommodate for AI.

A lot of people are looking at AI and they're saying, don't worry, new jobs will be created to compensate like in the past.

I don't believe that.

is not only doing the physical kind of aspect that used to be compensated for, it is doing the actual thinking.
