Our amazing, abundant future is just around the corner, and you're probably going to be unemployed.

Hi, I'm Scott Ob with Stephen Green and Bill Whittle, and this episode of Right Angle is brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.

Gentlemen, there was an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal, quoting Elon Musk at some length,

and a lot of people have expressed concerns that if we develop a quoting Elon Musk at some length.

And a lot of people have expressed concerns that if we develop all these robots and this AI capability and robots with AI capability that pretty soon nobody's going to have a job because the robots will replace us all. Even so-called mental work can be

done now by computers or by, you know, AI kind of instruments. And this is where Elon Musk departs

from, even though he's kind of a doomsayer about AI and helped to start

open AI, which later developed ChatGPT, because he was afraid of some of the threat of

AI getting into the wrong hands.

And so basically he wanted to make it open source and get as many people involved as possible.

But anyway, he's concerned about that.

He's not concerned about the job loss.

In the Wall Street Journal, it said Musk predicts that robots will be taking jobs that are uncomfortable,

dangerous, or tedious.

And here's the quote, it's fun to cook food, but it's not that fun to wash dishes. The computer is perfectly happy to wash the dishes. And so I thought that was

a nice way of simplifying it. But basically, what he says is that digital superintelligence

combined by robotics will actually make goods and services

almost free in the long term. And we shouldn't worry about that because, frankly, what we have is a

labor shortage, and we will have a labor shortage into the foreseeable future because

we're not having enough babies, which he's doing his best to ameliorate by having 10 children.

Personally, yeah.

Yeah.
