And we're seeing this also this sort of complicated movement between jobs as well while that's happening as people kind of jump ship and move to the thing where the curve is happening slightly later.
Zooming out, what does this pattern look like for like
society as a whole, like when you zoom away from the individual jobs.
Yeah, I mean, it's baffling to me that one percentage point of automation can like make all the difference between like, everyone's getting richer, like indefinitely.
And then like the difference between that and just like...
mass unemployment, wages dropping to zero.
I know you've just explained it, but do you have any way to make it more intuitive to listeners?
Like why that could happen?
Okay, yeah.
I think I'm struggling to see the vision.
It's very controversial.
Yeah, I just feel like even if we're not in the sort of 100% automation scenario, and even if we do stick around 99% automation or something like that, I think I see why...
wages overall could be going up because, you know, production is increasing, everyone's more productive and stuff like that.
In your vision, it sounds really lovely.
Everyone's just like enjoying their luxury goods.
But I'm kind of imagining a world where maybe there's like really vast inequality because like,
I think you've described potentially loads and loads of people having their own sort of little army of AI workers and their own CEO.
But the thing that I'm imagining is that at least early on, you have a small class of managers, people who are already in managerial positions, already at a point in their career, or have a certain set of skills who can take over a little army of AI workers.
they're the ones who are sort of capturing all the gains here, all the benefits, whereas everybody else kind of is screwed.
This is what I'm imagining.
