the Joe Rogan Experience and wondering what
the potential for the future is and
whether or not that’s a good
thing I think it’s going to be a great
thing but I think it’s not going to be
all a great thing and that that is
where I think that’s where all of the
complexity comes in for people it’s not
this like clean story of we’re going to
do this and it’s all going to be great
it’s we’re going to do this it’s going
to be net great but it’s going to be
like a technological Revolution it’s
going to be a societal Revolution and
those always come with change and even
if it’s like net wonderful you know
there’s things we’re going to lose along
the way some kinds of jobs some kind
parts of our way of life some parts of
the way we live are going to change or
go away
and no matter how tremendous the upside
is there and and I believe it will be
tremendously good you know there’s a lot
of stuff we got to navigate through to
make sure
um
that’s that’s a complicated thing for
for anyone to wrap their heads around
and there’s you know deep and super
understandable emotions around that
that’s a very honest answer that it’s
not all going to be good but it seems
inevitable at this point it’s yeah I
mean it’s definitely inevitable my my
view of the world you know when you’re
like a kid in school you learn about
this technological Revolution and then
that one and then that one and my view
of the world now sort of looking
backwards and forwards is that this is
like one long technological Revolution
and we had sure like first we had to
figure out agriculture so that we had
the resources and time to figure out how
to build machines then we got this
Industrial Revolution and that made us
learn about a lot of stuff a lot of
other scientific discovery too let us do
the computer Revolution and that’s now
letting us as we scale up to these
massive systems do the AI Revolution but
it really is just one long story of
humans discovering science and
technology and co-evolving with it and I
think it’s the most exciting story of
all time I think it’s how we get to this
world of abundance and
although you know although we do have
these things to navigate and there there
will be these downsides if if you think
about what it means for the world and
for people’s quality of lives if we can
get to a world uh where the the cost of
intelligence and the abundance that
comes with that
uh the cost dramatically Falls the
abundance goes ways up goes way up I
think we’ll do the same thing with
energy and I think those are the two
sort of key inputs to everything else we
want so if we can have abundant and
cheap energy and
intelligence that will transform
people’s lives largely for the better
and I think it’s going to in the same
way that if we could go back now 500
years and look at someone’s life we’d
say well there there’s some great things
but they didn’t have this they didn’t
have that can you believe they didn’t
have modern medicine that’s what people
are going to look back at us like but in
50 years when you think about the people
that currently rely on jobs that AI will
replace when you think about whether
it’s truck drivers or automation workers
people that work in Factory assembly
lines what if anything what strategies
can be put to mitigate the negative
downsides of those jobs being eliminated
by
AI
