We love creativity.

We want you to be successful.

We are all about, you know, making you be successful, make a lot of money.

And then what was all that for?

Well, they just released this AI slop app.

Meadow has one called Vibes, I think, and Sora is the OpenAI one.

All of these AI slop videos is sort of are trained on all that stuff that creators have been making for the last 10 years.

So those guys were the suckers in this trade, which was we're actually stealing your training data to replace you.

And we can have a digital AI influencer that is actually publishing all the time and is just a pure advertising play and a pure sort of whatever gets people's attention play.

And we're going to replace those people and you're not going to have that job back.

And so I think that's a metaphor for what's going to happen across the board.

And people need to realize the stated mission of OpenAI and Anthropic and Google DeepMind

is to build artificial general intelligence that's built to automate all forms of human labor in the economy.

So when Elon Musk says that the Optimus robot is a $20 trillion market opportunity alone, what he says, like the code word behind that, forget whether you think it's hype or not, the code word there is what he's saying is, I'm gonna own the global world labor economy.

Labor will be owned by an AI economy.

And so AI provides more concentration of wealth and power than all other technologies in history because you're able to aggregate all forms of human labor, not just one.

So it's like General Electric becomes General Everything.

So people often think when they hear all this, maybe they hear me and they say he's a doomer or something like that.

I just want to get clear on what future we're currently heading towards, what the default trajectory is.

If we're clear-eyed about that, clarity creates agency.
