Yeah, yeah.

Modern Wisdom

And so if you're short-term, yes, we need the electricians and the plumbers and we're building data centers.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

Short-term, yes, you can be a programmer and get the benefit from vibe coding.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

But then the AIs are learning on all the things that you're doing.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And it's taking all the training data of what you're doing with AI and it's using that to train an AI that can take your job.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

So everybody using AI now to help them is also training the future AIs that will completely replace them.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And again, the explicit goal, this is not my opinion.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

This is literally the mission statement of all of the AI companies because the multi-trillion dollar prize at the end of the rainbow...

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

of owning the entire world economy is based on building this full replacement economy because that's what will achieve the greatest growth.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And that's why these companies- Replacement economy?

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

Yeah, meaning that they're designing to replace all human labor.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

They're not designing to augment and support and like enhance human labor.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

They're designing to replace all human labor because that's what justifies the amount of money that they've taken on in debt that they can grow into this like total ownership of the entire economy.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

Well, it's just important for people to get that when the AIs are doing all the new scientific research, not humans, you have an automated chemistry lab, you have an automated biology lab, you have an automated surgery.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

When AI is doing all of that, again, the revenue is going to come from AI, not from people.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And what that means is all the wealth will go to a handful of like five AI companies.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And then how are you going to be able to make a living?

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

Yeah.

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

When in history has a small group of people ever consolidated all the wealth and consciously redistributed it to everyone else?

Modern Wisdom
#1079 - Tristan Harris - AI Expert Warns: “This Is The Last Mistake We’ll Ever Make”

And if you think that might happen in the US, we'll do a universal basic income, just think about the entire world.
