Elon Musk, you know, who I don't like and disagree with on everything, is not a dumb guy. And he says that work will become optional, that AI and robots will do everything that you need.
"My prediction is that work will be optional. Optional. Optional."
Well, if AI and robots do everything and work is optional, how do you survive? Oh, you're going to get a check. Really? But there is no government because you're not paying any taxes, right? What happens to Social Security? What happens to Medicare and Medicaid?
"Money will will will stop being relevant at some point in the future."
And who's going to determine the check that you get? Really, how much are you going to get? How much am I going to get?
"I mean, it it'll be like uh playing sports or a video game or something like that."
It will destroy humanity's jobs of like, you know, you went to an elite school and you studied philosophy. Use myself as an example.
"Um."
"I did too."
"Yeah."
You, it hopefully you have some other skill.
"See a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us."
"You're at work right now. I am at work today. You know, God knows over 100 million Americans are at work. It's an important part of their lives. Deep down, we all want to contribute, whether we're a janitor or a brain surgeon, to our community, right? You know, you take it for grant granted, but you meet people at work. It's part of your life. Oh, guess what? In X number of years, you don't have to work."
"These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."
What are you going to do? You going to sit around watching Elon Musk videos? Is that the meaning of life? Have we even begun to have that serious discussion?
