Impact Theory

Key Takeaway

Jack Dorsey just fired 44% of Block's staff—not due to overhiring, but because AI became too effective. This isn't a future threat; it's happening now. The playbook: Master AI tools immediately, identify problems people desperately want solved, and build solutions faster than your competition. Your survival depends on becoming indispensable by riding AI to victory, not competing against it.

Episode Overview

This episode delivers an urgent wake-up call about AI's immediate impact on employment and business. The hosts discuss Jack Dorsey's massive layoffs at Block (citing AI efficiency), Perplexity's disruption of Bloomberg's terminal empire, and real examples of AI capabilities from hacking governments to building custom software. The core message: AI is terraforming the job market right now—not in 3 years. White-collar jobs face 10-20% unemployment within 12-18 months. The window to leverage human+AI advantage is closing fast. Those who master AI tools and start solving real problems will thrive; those who wait will be flattened.

Main Insights

The AI Employment Shift Has Arrived

Jack Dorsey laid off 4,400 employees (nearly half of Block's staff) explicitly because AI made them unnecessary—despite the company generating $2 million profit per employee. This marks the first major CEO to openly attribute massive layoffs to AI effectiveness rather than economic conditions. This is the 'shot heard around the world' that signals AI's transformation of employment has begun, not in some distant future, but right now.

AI Doubles in Capability Every 300 Days

AI capabilities are doubling in less than a year, creating exponential growth that far exceeds historical technological disruptions. This unprecedented pace means even conservative timeline predictions (3-9 years for major changes) represent just one generation's disruption. The criticism that predictions might be 'wrong on timing' misses the point—whether transformation takes 3 or 9 years, your 10-year-old will only be 19 when capitalism fundamentally changes.

Historical Disruptions Always Devastate One to Two Generations

The industrial revolution, electrification, and internetification each wiped out one to two generations of workers. People who lost jobs in their mid-to-late 30s suffered for the rest of their lives, their children struggled, but their grandchildren thrived. Deaths of despair from internet-era globalization still impact us today. AI will follow this pattern, but at an unprecedented speed, making the transition more brutal for those unprepared.

Software and Data Analysis Businesses Are Finished

If your business model is software or large-scale data analysis, you're facing extinction. Perplexity Computer orchestrated 19 AI models to build a functional Bloomberg-style market analysis terminal in hours—no coding required, no specialized hardware. What cost $30,000 per terminal now costs $200/month and provides 80% of the functionality. The moat around data and complexity is evaporating in real-time.

The Window for Human+AI Advantage Is Temporary

Right now, humans using AI outperform AI alone—but this window is closing fast. Something changed in December 2024 that dramatically improved AI's coding abilities. The opportunity exists NOW to enrich yourself by being faster to leverage AI, but like early content creators, many will have brief success before disappearing. The race isn't to find easy money but to use AI to make previously impossible solutions possible.

Notable Quotes

"Jack Dorsey in a move that is prophetic, hear my words, is prophetic of what is to come over the next 12 months, just lopped off 4400 people from his company block. That's nearly half of his staff."

Tom Bilyeu

"Do you guys understand yet that you should be quitting your job and starting a company? I really hate saying that in front of my team, but that's the reality."

Tom Bilyeu

"AI is terraforming. It's terraforming the entire planet. But it is certainly terraforming right now the jobs market. It is just going to be fundamentally different over the next 24 months."

Tom Bilyeu

"I spend 15% of my time thinking about how to change how impact theory is structured and operates because AI has already so profoundly changed the world. If we keep doing what we've been doing, we will die."

Tom Bilyeu

"In the age of AI, you better be able to ride AI to victory. AI is no longer a thing happening in the future. It is the thing that's happening right now."

Tom Bilyeu

Action Items

Suggested exercises inspired by the conversation.

  • 1
    Master AI Tools Immediately

    Dedicate time daily to learning AI platforms like Claude, Perplexity, and coding assistants. Practice 'vibe coding' and build small projects to understand capabilities. Your AI skills relative to your peers will determine your job security. Start by automating one task this week using AI.

  • 2
    Identify Problems People Desperately Want Solved

    Look for problems in your industry where people would 'chase you down the street' to pay for a solution. Focus on unsexy but foundational 'picks and shovels' businesses rather than glamorous industries. Test product-market fit with a minimum viable test (lead magnet) before building the full product.

  • 3
    Build Your First AI-Powered Solution

    Start building software or services using AI that were previously impossible for you to create. Don't wait for perfect skills—use AI to bridge your capability gaps. Focus on execution: idea + AI = result. Even non-technical people are now building custom software, analytics dashboards, and business tools.

  • 4
    Prepare for Economic Disruption

    Understand that 10-20% white-collar unemployment could arrive within 12-18 months. Position yourself as indispensable by becoming the person who best leverages AI in your organization. If entrepreneurial, start now while the human+AI advantage window remains open—waiting means competing against pure AI later.

Jack Dorsey in a move that through it. Jack Dorsey in a move that through it. Jack Dorsey in a move that is prophetic, hear my words, is is prophetic, hear my words, is is prophetic, hear my words, is prophetic of what is to come over the prophetic of what is to come over the prophetic of what is to come over the next 12 months, just lopped off 4400 next 12 months, just lopped off 4400 next 12 months, just lopped off 4400 people from his company block. That's people from his company block. That's people from his company block. That's nearly half of his staff. Now, while nearly half of his staff. Now, while nearly half of his staff. Now, while many people have accused Dorsy of simply many people have accused Dorsy of simply many people have accused Dorsy of simply rights sizing from a co hiring binge, rights sizing from a co hiring binge, rights sizing from a co hiring binge, Dorsey gave the receipts. He showed the Dorsey gave the receipts. He showed the Dorsey gave the receipts. He showed the company is already wildly profitable. company is already wildly profitable. company is already wildly profitable. They do roughly $2 million in profit per They do roughly $2 million in profit per They do roughly $2 million in profit per employee which is better than most employee which is better than most employee which is better than most companies by a lot and that they had companies by a lot and that they had companies by a lot and that they had already done the right sizing postcoid already done the right sizing postcoid already done the right sizing postcoid back in 2024. So that's not what this back in 2024. So that's not what this back in 2024. So that's not what this move was about. Dorsy said directly he move was about. Dorsy said directly he move was about. Dorsy said directly he was firing everyone because AI has was firing everyone because AI has was firing everyone because AI has simply gotten so good that they can do simply gotten so good that they can do simply gotten so good that they can do more with smaller teams. more with smaller teams. more with smaller teams. He noted that giving the productivity He noted that giving the productivity He noted that giving the productivity boosts that they're already seeing from boosts that they're already seeing from boosts that they're already seeing from AI, okay, just what what's already AI, okay, just what what's already AI, okay, just what what's already happened and what is likely to come in happened and what is likely to come in happened and what is likely to come in the future, it was either continuously the future, it was either continuously the future, it was either continuously reduce staff slowly over the next couple reduce staff slowly over the next couple reduce staff slowly over the next couple of years and still end up at the same of years and still end up at the same of years and still end up at the same result or do it all in one fell swoop to result or do it all in one fell swoop to result or do it all in one fell swoop to maximize the benefits and preserve maximize the benefits and preserve maximize the benefits and preserve company morale which is often hurt more company morale which is often hurt more company morale which is often hurt more by slow attrition. So this is one of by slow attrition. So this is one of by slow attrition. So this is one of those breathtaking moves that if people those breathtaking moves that if people those breathtaking moves that if people understand in context and they get understand in context and they get understand in context and they get what's really happening, they are going what's really happening, they are going what's really happening, they are going to understand the phrase that I keep to understand the phrase that I keep to understand the phrase that I keep coming to is AI is terraforming. coming to is AI is terraforming. coming to is AI is terraforming. It's terraforming the entire planet. But It's terraforming the entire planet. But It's terraforming the entire planet. But it is certainly terraforming right now it is certainly terraforming right now it is certainly terraforming right now the jobs market. It is just going to be the jobs market. It is just going to be the jobs market. It is just going to be fundamentally different over the next 24 fundamentally different over the next 24 fundamentally different over the next 24 months. Not saying that they all go months. Not saying that they all go months. Not saying that they all go away. I'm going to give you some away. I'm going to give you some away. I'm going to give you some predictions about what other people have predictions about what other people have predictions about what other people have said in terms of how much unemployment said in terms of how much unemployment said in terms of how much unemployment there's going to be. But for a second, there's going to be. But for a second, there's going to be. But for a second, even if you don't see a doomsday even if you don't see a doomsday even if you don't see a doomsday scenario, the odds that the job market scenario, the odds that the job market scenario, the odds that the job market looks anything like it did at the looks anything like it did at the looks anything like it did at the beginning of 25 in two years is zero. It beginning of 25 in two years is zero. It beginning of 25 in two years is zero. It is going to be radically different. And is going to be radically different. And is going to be radically different. And if people do not understand how if people do not understand how if people do not understand how fast-paced this is already moving, they fast-paced this is already moving, they fast-paced this is already moving, they are going to get caught flatfooted. Now, are going to get caught flatfooted. Now, are going to get caught flatfooted. Now, specific predictions wise, Anthropic CEO specific predictions wise, Anthropic CEO specific predictions wise, Anthropic CEO Amodi, who we're just talking about, he Amodi, who we're just talking about, he Amodi, who we're just talking about, he said a while ago that AI was likely to said a while ago that AI was likely to said a while ago that AI was likely to lead to roughly 20% unemployment in lead to roughly 20% unemployment in lead to roughly 20% unemployment in white collar jobs in the next year or white collar jobs in the next year or white collar jobs in the next year or two. So, that means we're talking in the two. So, that means we're talking in the two. So, that means we're talking in the next 12 to 18 months, given that he said next 12 to 18 months, given that he said next 12 to 18 months, given that he said that a while ago. So, if he's even that a while ago. So, if he's even that a while ago. So, if he's even directionally correct, and let's say directionally correct, and let's say directionally correct, and let's say it's only 10%. That is still it's only 10%. That is still it's only 10%. That is still psychotically disruptive. understand psychotically disruptive. understand psychotically disruptive. understand that norm a 4% unemployment rate is like that norm a 4% unemployment rate is like that norm a 4% unemployment rate is like okay we're comfortable there okay we're comfortable there okay we're comfortable there 10% more than double 20% 5x like you 10% more than double 20% 5x like you 10% more than double 20% 5x like you start getting into um depression start getting into um depression start getting into um depression territory it doesn't mean that we'll territory it doesn't mean that we'll territory it doesn't mean that we'll actually be in a depression I want to be actually be in a depression I want to be actually be in a depression I want to be very clear it's all unknown we don't very clear it's all unknown we don't very clear it's all unknown we don't know how this stuff is going to manifest know how this stuff is going to manifest know how this stuff is going to manifest but it is going to be radically but it is going to be radically but it is going to be radically different and as large companies uh have different and as large companies uh have different and as large companies uh have laid off people they've always done it laid off people they've always done it laid off people they've always done it under this guise of like um hey this under this guise of like um hey this under this guise of like um hey this wasn't really about AI like we had some wasn't really about AI like we had some wasn't really about AI like we had some other reason like any other reason other other reason like any other reason other other reason like any other reason other than AI making it unclear if the than AI making it unclear if the than AI making it unclear if the incredibly horrific 2025 job numbers incredibly horrific 2025 job numbers incredibly horrific 2025 job numbers were actually related to AI or not. I were actually related to AI or not. I were actually related to AI or not. I did a deep dive all about the jobs did a deep dive all about the jobs did a deep dive all about the jobs report and what's real and what's going report and what's real and what's going report and what's real and what's going on. Dude, it is cataclysmic. The jobs in on. Dude, it is cataclysmic. The jobs in on. Dude, it is cataclysmic. The jobs in 25 were horrifyingly low. And the only 25 were horrifyingly low. And the only 25 were horrifyingly low. And the only question is why? What is going on? Now, question is why? What is going on? Now, question is why? What is going on? Now, what Jack just did made the answer to what Jack just did made the answer to what Jack just did made the answer to those 2025 jobs numbers very clear. In those 2025 jobs numbers very clear. In those 2025 jobs numbers very clear. In my opinion, it's really one of the first my opinion, it's really one of the first my opinion, it's really one of the first times that such a large layoff has been times that such a large layoff has been times that such a large layoff has been made where the CEO just said plainly, made where the CEO just said plainly, made where the CEO just said plainly, this is because we no longer need as this is because we no longer need as this is because we no longer need as many people because AI is just that many people because AI is just that many people because AI is just that good. Now, speaking from personal good. Now, speaking from personal good. Now, speaking from personal experience, I'm telling you this is experience, I'm telling you this is experience, I'm telling you this is true. We are seeing this same exact true. We are seeing this same exact true. We are seeing this same exact thing here at Impact Theory. Now, in a thing here at Impact Theory. Now, in a thing here at Impact Theory. Now, in a super ironic twist, despite overall jobs super ironic twist, despite overall jobs super ironic twist, despite overall jobs numbers getting revised down by 1 numbers getting revised down by 1 numbers getting revised down by 1 million and us posting 15,000 million and us posting 15,000 million and us posting 15,000 jobs per month, which is terrible, jobs per month, which is terrible, jobs per month, which is terrible, terrible. That is economic crisis terrible. That is economic crisis terrible. That is economic crisis levels. Okay. The last time that we've levels. Okay. The last time that we've levels. Okay. The last time that we've had a two-year stretch where we were had a two-year stretch where we were had a two-year stretch where we were averaging 15,000 jobs a month, averaging 15,000 jobs a month, averaging 15,000 jobs a month, it it's crisis. it it's crisis. it it's crisis. This these are not the numbers that you This these are not the numbers that you This these are not the numbers that you want to see. This is way off the pace. want to see. This is way off the pace. want to see. This is way off the pace. We would expect roughly 150,000 We would expect roughly 150,000 We would expect roughly 150,000 jobs a month for a healthy economy. So jobs a month for a healthy economy. So jobs a month for a healthy economy. So to be at 15,000 is a big yikes. But to be at 15,000 is a big yikes. But to be at 15,000 is a big yikes. But despite all of that, the number of jobs despite all of that, the number of jobs despite all of that, the number of jobs posted for programmers has gone up. posted for programmers has gone up. posted for programmers has gone up. Now this is actually a well document Now this is actually a well document Now this is actually a well document documented phenomenon. And what happens documented phenomenon. And what happens documented phenomenon. And what happens is as something gets cheaper, the demand is as something gets cheaper, the demand is as something gets cheaper, the demand for that thing goes up. So when you for that thing goes up. So when you for that thing goes up. So when you really think about it, it actually makes really think about it, it actually makes really think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense because it suddenly a lot of sense because it suddenly a lot of sense because it suddenly brings things into reach that would have brings things into reach that would have brings things into reach that would have otherwise been out of reach for otherwise been out of reach for otherwise been out of reach for companies, especially smaller ones. And companies, especially smaller ones. And companies, especially smaller ones. And so the fact that now intelligence is so the fact that now intelligence is so the fact that now intelligence is making coding so much easier, you can making coding so much easier, you can making coding so much easier, you can get so much more done that more and more get so much more done that more and more get so much more done that more and more people are like, "Oh, I might be laying people are like, "Oh, I might be laying people are like, "Oh, I might be laying people off, but I'm bringing people on people off, but I'm bringing people on people off, but I'm bringing people on in order to get more done with the in order to get more done with the in order to get more done with the software." But the way that it is going software." But the way that it is going software." But the way that it is going to change the landscape is absolutely to change the landscape is absolutely to change the landscape is absolutely insane. So mark my words, what Jack just insane.

Now, the timelines of course are um flexible, but timelines of course are um flexible, but timelines of course are um flexible, but we were talking about this yesterday we were talking about this yesterday we were talking about this yesterday when we heard this news. It's like when we heard this news. It's like when we heard this news. It's like people thought the truck drivers were people thought the truck drivers were people thought the truck drivers were going away right when Tesla announced going away right when Tesla announced going away right when Tesla announced the semitr and we were like, "Dang, all the semitr and we were like, "Dang, all the semitr and we were like, "Dang, all the truck drivers are going to get the truck drivers are going to get the truck drivers are going to get fired." And while we were waiting for fired." And while we were waiting for fired." And while we were waiting for the truck drivers to get fired, all the the truck drivers to get fired, all the the truck drivers to get fired, all the software coding jobs are kind of getting software coding jobs are kind of getting software coding jobs are kind of getting eaten right now. And then we're going to eaten right now. And then we're going to eaten right now. And then we're going to turn over there like, "Oh, okay. They turn over there like, "Oh, okay. They turn over there like, "Oh, okay. They got Silicon Valley." And then we're got Silicon Valley." And then we're got Silicon Valley." And then we're going to turn this way and all the going to turn this way and all the going to turn this way and all the lawyers are gone. And it just seems like lawyers are gone. And it just seems like lawyers are gone. And it just seems like all these different industries all these different industries all these different industries separately and equally are all on the separately and equally are all on the separately and equally are all on the timeline to AI is is showing up now. timeline to AI is is showing up now. timeline to AI is is showing up now. >> Yeah. If you understand that what AI >> Yeah. If you understand that what AI >> Yeah. If you understand that what AI actually is is just intelligence actually is is just intelligence actually is is just intelligence >> then it's like okay well what industries >> then it's like okay well what industries >> then it's like okay well what industries are most impacted by disembodied are most impacted by disembodied are most impacted by disembodied intelligence because right now they are intelligence because right now they are intelligence because right now they are increasingly in robotics and so they are increasingly in robotics and so they are increasingly in robotics and so they are increasingly mobile in the same way that increasingly mobile in the same way that increasingly mobile in the same way that humans are but I would say they lag way humans are but I would say they lag way humans are but I would say they lag way farther behind in the physicality the farther behind in the physicality the farther behind in the physicality the ability to go into a space especially ability to go into a space especially ability to go into a space especially like an unpredictable space like think like an unpredictable space like think like an unpredictable space like think of an electrician sometimes you're of an electrician sometimes you're of an electrician sometimes you're crawling under a house sometimes you crawling under a house sometimes you crawling under a house sometimes you have to open up a wall like all of this have to open up a wall like all of this have to open up a wall like all of this stuff is is very difficult stuff is is very difficult stuff is is very difficult uh because it's just it's not uh because it's just it's not uh because it's just it's not standardized. And so when you disembbody standardized. And so when you disembbody standardized. And so when you disembbody it and you standardize something through it and you standardize something through it and you standardize something through a computer, now a computer is like the a computer, now a computer is like the a computer, now a computer is like the ultimate rules-based universe. Once ultimate rules-based universe. Once ultimate rules-based universe. Once you're in the computer, everything is you're in the computer, everything is you're in the computer, everything is just a bunch of if this then that just a bunch of if this then that just a bunch of if this then that statements. And so intelligence is all statements. And so intelligence is all statements. And so intelligence is all that you need. And that you need. And that you need. And when you take that lens and look at the when you take that lens and look at the when you take that lens and look at the world and say, okay, what are those world and say, okay, what are those world and say, okay, what are those disembodied intelligence-based jobs? disembodied intelligence-based jobs? disembodied intelligence-based jobs? Those are all going to go away. And it Those are all going to go away. And it Those are all going to go away. And it might be a better way to think of this. might be a better way to think of this. might be a better way to think of this. Those are all going to change Those are all going to change Those are all going to change dramatically. So, one person will be dramatically. So, one person will be dramatically. So, one person will be able to do a lot more. Now, if we were able to do a lot more. Now, if we were able to do a lot more. Now, if we were in an economic upswing as AI were coming in an economic upswing as AI were coming in an economic upswing as AI were coming on board, I would have a totally on board, I would have a totally on board, I would have a totally different read on this. And I would say different read on this. And I would say different read on this. And I would say there's so much money slloshing around there's so much money slloshing around there's so much money slloshing around in the system. You know, everybody's in the system. You know, everybody's in the system. You know, everybody's jubilant. What's going to end up jubilant. What's going to end up jubilant. What's going to end up happening is more and more people are happening is more and more people are happening is more and more people are going to start their own companies, going to start their own companies, going to start their own companies, which I do believe is going to happen, which I do believe is going to happen, which I do believe is going to happen, but there's enough money for a lot of but there's enough money for a lot of but there's enough money for a lot of these companies to succeed. The reality these companies to succeed. The reality these companies to succeed. The reality is this is happening in an economically is this is happening in an economically is this is happening in an economically depressed moment. So all of that same depressed moment. So all of that same depressed moment. So all of that same fracturing is going to happen. Uh I have fracturing is going to happen. Uh I have fracturing is going to happen. Uh I have an ongoing pitch for people that they an ongoing pitch for people that they an ongoing pitch for people that they need to be starting a company. Like if need to be starting a company. Like if need to be starting a company. Like if you have even a minor entrepreneurial you have even a minor entrepreneurial you have even a minor entrepreneurial bone in your body and look I'm hyper bone in your body and look I'm hyper bone in your body and look I'm hyper aware I'm saying that to a bunch of aware I'm saying that to a bunch of aware I'm saying that to a bunch of employees who if they listen to me are employees who if they listen to me are employees who if they listen to me are going to go start their own thing. But going to go start their own thing. But going to go start their own thing. But the reality is I don't I try not to the reality is I don't I try not to the reality is I don't I try not to fight the the tides of history. Like fight the the tides of history. Like fight the the tides of history. Like this is just the way that it's going to this is just the way that it's going to this is just the way that it's going to be. More and more people are going to be. More and more people are going to be. More and more people are going to start their own company. Rightly so. And start their own company. Rightly so. And start their own company. Rightly so. And in good economic times, I think a lot of in good economic times, I think a lot of in good economic times, I think a lot of them would survive. Unfortunately, in them would survive. Unfortunately, in them would survive. Unfortunately, in depressed economic times, most of them depressed economic times, most of them depressed economic times, most of them are going to get hit by a Mac truck. But are going to get hit by a Mac truck. But are going to get hit by a Mac truck. But it isn't like all of this stuff is just it isn't like all of this stuff is just it isn't like all of this stuff is just going to go away. Poof, it's gone. going to go away. Poof, it's gone. going to go away. Poof, it's gone. There's there is a window of opportunity There's there is a window of opportunity There's there is a window of opportunity right now where humans using AI is still right now where humans using AI is still right now where humans using AI is still better than just AI on its own. And as better than just AI on its own. And as better than just AI on its own. And as long as that window stays open, people long as that window stays open, people long as that window stays open, people have a chance to enrich themselves by have a chance to enrich themselves by have a chance to enrich themselves by being a little bit faster to getting to being a little bit faster to getting to being a little bit faster to getting to the AI. Now, I think it's going to be a the AI. Now, I think it's going to be a the AI. Now, I think it's going to be a little bit like content where you're little bit like content where you're little bit like content where you're going to start a company and it's going going to start a company and it's going going to start a company and it's going to pop for a minute and then completely to pop for a minute and then completely to pop for a minute and then completely disappear and we're all going to be disappear and we're all going to be disappear and we're all going to be like, "Oh, remember when?" and it that like, "Oh, remember when?" and it that like, "Oh, remember when?" and it that will be like entire companies will be a will be like entire companies will be a will be like entire companies will be a remember when moment, right? But remember when moment, right? But remember when moment, right? But nonetheless, that window is open and so nonetheless, that window is open and so nonetheless, that window is open and so we're going to see a lot of people we're going to see a lot of people we're going to see a lot of people funnel into that. I just don't know how funnel into that. I just don't know how funnel into that. I just don't know how much like economic availability there much like economic availability there much like economic availability there is. Right? So if you think of the is. Right? So if you think of the is. Right? So if you think of the K-shaped economy, you've got the K-shaped economy, you've got the K-shaped economy, you've got the wealthy, they're able to spend money and wealthy, they're able to spend money and wealthy, they're able to spend money and right now they're masking the fact that right now they're masking the fact that right now they're masking the fact that the vast majority of people are not. But the vast majority of people are not. But the vast majority of people are not. But if you think of in food, it's called if you think of in food, it's called if you think of in food, it's called share of stomach. There's only so many share of stomach. There's only so many share of stomach. There's only so many things that people are going to eat in a things that people are going to eat in a things that people are going to eat in a day. So there's going to be the same day. So there's going to be the same day. So there's going to be the same thing with software or whatever other thing with software or whatever other thing with software or whatever other thing is getting disrupted. And so if thing is getting disrupted. And so if thing is getting disrupted. And so if you shatter the world into instead of you shatter the world into instead of you shatter the world into instead of one Uber, it's a thousand Ubers. Instead one Uber, it's a thousand Ubers. Instead one Uber, it's a thousand Ubers. Instead of one Bloomberg terminal, it's 10,000 of one Bloomberg terminal, it's 10,000 of one Bloomberg terminal, it's 10,000 Bloomberg terminals. It's like, well, Bloomberg terminals. It's like, well, Bloomberg terminals. It's like, well, all of those are going to be these all of those are going to be these all of those are going to be these really small companies that will really small companies that will really small companies that will probably blip out of existence because probably blip out of existence because probably blip out of existence because those guys won't be able to generate those guys won't be able to generate those guys won't be able to generate sufficient cash to keep going. And so sufficient cash to keep going. And so sufficient cash to keep going. And so now it's like, okay, what does that look now it's like, okay, what does that look now it's like, okay, what does that look like? Does it end up being 10 smaller like? Does it end up being 10 smaller like? Does it end up being 10 smaller companies that like reconsolidate and companies that like reconsolidate and companies that like reconsolidate and then they all compete on price and it then they all compete on price and it then they all compete on price and it just becomes better for the consumer just becomes better for the consumer just becomes better for the consumer because instead of Bloomberg is $30,000 because instead of Bloomberg is $30,000 because instead of Bloomberg is $30,000 per terminal instead of that it becomes, per terminal instead of that it becomes, per terminal instead of that it becomes, you know, maybe $30 a month or something you know, maybe $30 a month or something you know, maybe $30 a month or something like that or do most people just build like that or do most people just build like that or do most people just build it for free? It's completely it for free? It's completely it for free? It's completely commoditized and nobody buys one off the commoditized and nobody buys one off the commoditized and nobody buys one off the shelf because it only takes you an hour shelf because it only takes you an hour shelf because it only takes you an hour to create it. That's where like all the to create it. That's where like all the to create it. That's where like all the mystery lies. But if people right now mystery lies. But if people right now mystery lies. But if people right now are thinking, "Nah, just, you know, I'll are thinking, "Nah, just, you know, I'll are thinking, "Nah, just, you know, I'll grit through it. No way this is ever grit through it. No way this is ever grit through it. No way this is ever going to be the way that people are going to be the way that people are going to be the way that people are saying. Like, I'm going to be fine on saying. Like, I'm going to be fine on saying. Like, I'm going to be fine on the other side of this." It just isn't the other side of this." It just isn't the other side of this." It just isn't going to be like that. And I don't know going to be like that. And I don't know going to be like that. And I don't know how to snap people out of their stuper. how to snap people out of their stuper. how to snap people out of their stuper. >> Uh, I'll try with a single sentence. I >> Uh, I'll try with a single sentence. I >> Uh, I'll try with a single sentence. I spend spend spend 15% of my time thinking about how to 15% of my time thinking about how to 15% of my time thinking about how to change how impact theory is structured change how impact theory is structured change how impact theory is structured and operates because AI has already so and operates because AI has already so and operates because AI has already so profoundly changed the world. If we keep profoundly changed the world. If we keep profoundly changed the world. If we keep doing what we've been doing, we will doing what we've been doing, we will doing what we've been doing, we will die. die. die. So, uh hopefully that wakes people up. So, uh hopefully that wakes people up. So, uh hopefully that wakes people up. It's like I've already got an ongoing It's like I've already got an ongoing It's like I've already got an ongoing concern. I've got employees. We've got a concern. I've got employees. We've got a concern. I've got employees. We've got a business model. It's working. And I'm business model. It's working. And I'm business model. It's working. And I'm telling you, it is so self-evident even telling you, it is so self-evident even telling you, it is so self-evident even running a company like that that oh if running a company like that that oh if running a company like that that oh if if we just stay on this course in if we just stay on this course in if we just stay on this course in another six months we might have a another six months we might have a another six months we might have a problem certainly in a year. So that's problem certainly in a year. So that's problem certainly in a year. So that's crazy timelines just the rate of change crazy timelines just the rate of change crazy timelines just the rate of change is so fast. is so fast. is so fast. >> Um I I like the future looking >> Um I I like the future looking >> Um I I like the future looking perspective and encouraging people to perspective and encouraging people to perspective and encouraging people to start businesses and things like that. start businesses and things like that. start businesses and things like that. But there's two things that I was seeing But there's two things that I was seeing But there's two things that I was seeing in this Jack tweet like the Jack tweet. in this Jack tweet like the Jack tweet. in this Jack tweet like the Jack tweet. I was going through the comments and I was going through the comments and I was going through the comments and stuff like that. On one hand, the US stuff like that. On one hand, the US stuff like that. On one hand, the US government, you could throw this up. Um, government, you could throw this up. Um, government, you could throw this up. Um, the US government and private companies the US government and private companies the US government and private companies over the last, let's call it 16 months over the last, let's call it 16 months over the last, let's call it 16 months has announced more than 675,000 layoffs. has announced more than 675,000 layoffs. has announced more than 675,000 layoffs. And this is the 300 from Doge, 78,000 And this is the 300 from Doge, 78,000 And this is the 300 from Doge, 78,000 from um UPS, 30,000 from Amazon, from um UPS, 30,000 from Amazon, from um UPS, 30,000 from Amazon, aggregating all of those together. aggregating all of those together. aggregating all of those together. >> And then on the other hand, we have the >> And then on the other hand, we have the >> And then on the other hand, we have the revised job report. We lost a million uh revised job report. We lost a million uh revised job report. We lost a million uh a million jobs. So, hypothetically a million jobs. So, hypothetically a million jobs. So, hypothetically speaking, we're like negative 1.6 speaking, we're like negative 1.6 speaking, we're like negative 1.6 million jobs over the last 24 months. million jobs over the last 24 months. million jobs over the last 24 months. I'm being a little bit flexible with the I'm being a little bit flexible with the I'm being a little bit flexible with the timelines. timelines. timelines. >> That alone kind of to your point, if >> That alone kind of to your point, if >> That alone kind of to your point, if this was a different economic situation, this was a different economic situation, this was a different economic situation, people would be like, "Yeah, let me go people would be like, "Yeah, let me go people would be like, "Yeah, let me go start my company right now." But I think start my company right now." But I think start my company right now." But I think a lot of people are home kind of feeling a lot of people are home kind of feeling a lot of people are home kind of feeling struggles as opposed to like being struggles as opposed to like being struggles as opposed to like being excited to get to the next step. Now, excited to get to the next step. Now, excited to get to the next step. Now, the going to my main question now, the going to my main question now, the going to my main question now, everybody's thinking, okay, if two everybody's thinking, okay, if two everybody's thinking, okay, if two million people are getting are losing million people are getting are losing million people are getting are losing their job and then we have another, their job and then we have another, their job and then we have another, let's say, 10 million people that are let's say, 10 million people that are let's say, 10 million people that are going to lose their job from all these going to lose their job from all these going to lose their job from all these other different industries because of other different industries because of other different industries because of AI, who's going to be spending the AI, who's going to be spending the AI, who's going to be spending the money? Who's going to be buying these money? Who's going to be buying these money? Who's going to be buying these things? Are robots going to be selling things? Are robots going to be selling things? Are robots going to be selling to other robots? Wouldn't that crash the to other robots? Wouldn't that crash the to other robots? Wouldn't that crash the economy? Help us figure out what happens economy? Help us figure out what happens economy? Help us figure out what happens when this much job loss um gets pulled when this much job loss um gets pulled when this much job loss um gets pulled out and what would the actual thing out and what would the actual thing out and what would the actual thing happen to prices, commodities? Would the happen to prices, commodities? Would the happen to prices, commodities? Would the rich just be okay on their island? Like rich just be okay on their island? Like rich just be okay on their island? Like what would actually happen to the what would actually happen to the what would actually happen to the economy in totality? economy in totality? economy in totality? >> Yeah. So, we're going to predict the >> Yeah. So, we're going to predict the >> Yeah. So, we're going to predict the future, which means we are going to be future, which means we are going to be future, which means we are going to be wrong. However, I think that we can get wrong. However, I think that we can get wrong. However, I think that we can get pretty directionally correct. So, there pretty directionally correct. So, there pretty directionally correct. So, there are two paths before you. Path number are two paths before you. Path number are two paths before you. Path number one is bloodshed. And the anxiety in the one is bloodshed. And the anxiety in the one is bloodshed. And the anxiety in the system builds up as more and more people system builds up as more and more people system builds up as more and more people lose their jobs that they just don't lose their jobs that they just don't lose their jobs that they just don't care that yes, it's going to be better care that yes, it's going to be better care that yes, it's going to be better for my grandkids, but it's not better for my grandkids, but it's not better for my grandkids, but it's not better for me. And so, um, you know, a year is for me. And so, um, you know, a year is for me. And so, um, you know, a year is a long time when you're faced with a long time when you're faced with a long time when you're faced with tremendous uncertainty. And if you shove tremendous uncertainty. And if you shove tremendous uncertainty. And if you shove enough people into tremendous enough people into tremendous enough people into tremendous uncertainty in a moment of populism, uncertainty in a moment of populism, uncertainty in a moment of populism, they will revolt. If they revolt, it they will revolt. If they revolt, it they will revolt. If they revolt, it will be in a dune style revolt where will be in a dune style revolt where will be in a dune style revolt where it's like um AI is responsible for this it's like um AI is responsible for this it's like um AI is responsible for this and I want AI to stop and I don't care and I want AI to stop and I don't care and I want AI to stop and I don't care that China is going to use it to enslave that China is going to use it to enslave that China is going to use it to enslave me. What I care about right now is that me. What I care about right now is that me. What I care about right now is that you're doing a bad thing to me in you're doing a bad thing to me in you're doing a bad thing to me in America. Stop immediately. So that's America. Stop immediately. So that's America. Stop immediately. So that's bloodshed path. Uh then you've got the bloodshed path. Uh then you've got the bloodshed path. Uh then you've got the um historical hey it disrupted it um historical hey it disrupted it um historical hey it disrupted it absolutely cratered a generation maybe absolutely cratered a generation maybe absolutely cratered a generation maybe two but it the gifts that it brings are two but it the gifts that it brings are two but it the gifts that it brings are so profound that everybody is just like so profound that everybody is just like so profound that everybody is just like keep your eye on the prize. This is keep your eye on the prize. This is keep your eye on the prize. This is making the world so much better and making the world so much better and making the world so much better and everybody's so enthusiastic about the everybody's so enthusiastic about the everybody's so enthusiastic about the new jobs that are coming on the market new jobs that are coming on the market new jobs that are coming on the market that kids coming out of high school are that kids coming out of high school are that kids coming out of high school are just thrilled and they're like, "Oh my just thrilled and they're like, "Oh my just thrilled and they're like, "Oh my god, the opportunities that are open to god, the opportunities that are open to god, the opportunities that are open to me that were never open before. This is me that were never open before. This is me that were never open before. This is incredible and [ __ ] all these boomers incredible and [ __ ] all these boomers incredible and [ __ ] all these boomers that are like doomsday AI. Like I don't that are like doomsday AI. Like I don't that are like doomsday AI. Like I don't you guys weren't trained on the right you guys weren't trained on the right you guys weren't trained on the right thing. That's a you problem. Like this thing. That's a you problem. Like this thing. That's a you problem. Like this technology is unbelievable." Now, let's technology is unbelievable." Now, let's technology is unbelievable." Now, let's keep in mind the last three major keep in mind the last three major keep in mind the last three major changes that we've had, industrial changes that we've had, industrial changes that we've had, industrial revolution, electrification, and revolution, electrification, and revolution, electrification, and internetification. internetification. internetification. All three of those wiped out one to two All three of those wiped out one to two All three of those wiped out one to two generation generations, man. And those generation generations, man. And those generation generations, man. And those people literally was like, um, you would people literally was like, um, you would people literally was like, um, you would lose your job, let's say, in your mid to lose your job, let's say, in your mid to lose your job, let's say, in your mid to late 30s, and then your life sucked for late 30s, and then your life sucked for late 30s, and then your life sucked for the rest of your life. Legitimately the rest of your life. Legitimately the rest of your life. Legitimately sucked. uh your kids life was rocky but sucked. uh your kids life was rocky but sucked. uh your kids life was rocky but your grandkids life was awesome because your grandkids life was awesome because your grandkids life was awesome because they got to build on top of this new they got to build on top of this new they got to build on top of this new technology that just repeats and repeats technology that just repeats and repeats technology that just repeats and repeats and repeats deaths of despair from the and repeats deaths of despair from the and repeats deaths of despair from the internetification. We are still dealing internetification. We are still dealing internetification. We are still dealing with that and so I think a lot of people with that and so I think a lot of people with that and so I think a lot of people because a lot of them were young and because a lot of them were young and because a lot of them were young and don't realize just how many boomers and don't realize just how many boomers and don't realize just how many boomers and Gen Xers got run over by that bus Gen Xers got run over by that bus Gen Xers got run over by that bus especially when you realize that the especially when you realize that the especially when you realize that the internet is part of what allowed internet is part of what allowed internet is part of what allowed globalization to become what it became. globalization to become what it became. globalization to become what it became. Uh so it didn't hurt white collar people Uh so it didn't hurt white collar people Uh so it didn't hurt white collar people which is probably why you don't hear as which is probably why you don't hear as which is probably why you don't hear as much about it but when you look at the much about it but when you look at the much about it but when you look at the deaths of despair stats they're deaths of despair stats they're deaths of despair stats they're startling startling startling >> and that is largely a phenomenon of >> and that is largely a phenomenon of >> and that is largely a phenomenon of globalization brought to you by the globalization brought to you by the globalization brought to you by the internetification of the world. So it's internetification of the world. So it's internetification of the world. So it's like these things tend to play out like like these things tend to play out like like these things tend to play out like that, but it does create this tremendous that, but it does create this tremendous that, but it does create this tremendous opportunity. And so if the transition opportunity. And so if the transition opportunity. And so if the transition happens in a way where people are able happens in a way where people are able happens in a way where people are able to um quickly get on board with AI and to um quickly get on board with AI and to um quickly get on board with AI and the new opportunities that it creates the new opportunities that it creates the new opportunities that it creates and we're able to um lessen the impacts and we're able to um lessen the impacts and we're able to um lessen the impacts of a K-shaped economy, I don't know that of a K-shaped economy, I don't know that of a K-shaped economy, I don't know that we're going to be able to get rid of we're going to be able to get rid of we're going to be able to get rid of them, but if we can lessen the impacts them, but if we can lessen the impacts them, but if we can lessen the impacts of a K-shaped economy and kids are able of a K-shaped economy and kids are able of a K-shaped economy and kids are able to take to AI technology like natives, to take to AI technology like natives, to take to AI technology like natives, um you have a chance of just all the new um you have a chance of just all the new um you have a chance of just all the new opportunity created by AI washes away opportunity created by AI washes away opportunity created by AI washes away all the pain and suffering of, you know, all the pain and suffering of, you know, all the pain and suffering of, you know, one to two generations of people that one to two generations of people that one to two generations of people that will be eaten alive by this because they will be eaten alive by this because they will be eaten alive by this because they just cannot make the transition. just cannot make the transition. just cannot make the transition. >> So, I don't know which of those paths is >> So, I don't know which of those paths is >> So, I don't know which of those paths is going to be true. Um, but those given a going to be true. Um, but those given a going to be true. Um, but those given a historical lens are the most likely. The historical lens are the most likely. The historical lens are the most likely. The problem is we've never seen a transition problem is we've never seen a transition problem is we've never seen a transition this rapid because there's never been a this rapid because there's never been a this rapid because there's never been a technology adopted this quickly, nor technology adopted this quickly, nor technology adopted this quickly, nor have we had a technology that advances have we had a technology that advances have we had a technology that advances this quickly. And so, that's where it this quickly. And so, that's where it this quickly. And so, that's where it gets scary. Just as a reminder, AI right gets scary. Just as a reminder, AI right gets scary. Just as a reminder, AI right now doubles now doubles now doubles uh every like 300 days. So in less than uh every like 300 days. So in less than uh every like 300 days. So in less than a year, AI doubles in capabilities. a year, AI doubles in capabilities. a year, AI doubles in capabilities. That's insane. And when you understand That's insane. And when you understand That's insane. And when you understand that exponential growth is always crazy. that exponential growth is always crazy. that exponential growth is always crazy. So 10% growth month over month over So 10% growth month over month over So 10% growth month over month over month is exponential. month is exponential. month is exponential. Doubling Doubling Doubling in less than a year, your doubling rate, in less than a year, your doubling rate, in less than a year, your doubling rate, it that's it that's it that's >> that's pandemonium. And so this is where >> that's pandemonium. And so this is where >> that's pandemonium. And so this is where I'm always like, the only criticism I I'm always like, the only criticism I I'm always like, the only criticism I ever see from people about my commentary ever see from people about my commentary ever see from people about my commentary around AI is that I'm getting the around AI is that I'm getting the around AI is that I'm getting the timelines wrong. Okay, but how much do timelines wrong. Okay, but how much do timelines wrong. Okay, but how much do you think I'm getting the timelines you think I'm getting the timelines you think I'm getting the timelines wrong by if you think Tom's a fool? Uh, wrong by if you think Tom's a fool? Uh, wrong by if you think Tom's a fool? Uh, capitalism isn't going to stop existing capitalism isn't going to stop existing capitalism isn't going to stop existing in three years. in three years. in three years. How how many? Nine. Like, bro, think How how many? Nine. Like, bro, think How how many? Nine. Like, bro, think about that. You have a 10-year-old. about that. You have a 10-year-old. about that. You have a 10-year-old. They're only going to be 19 and it's all They're only going to be 19 and it's all They're only going to be 19 and it's all going to be different. So, uh, I'm not going to be different. So, uh, I'm not going to be different. So, uh, I'm not sure what people's like real criticism sure what people's like real criticism sure what people's like real criticism is there. If you're saying fundamentally is there. If you're saying fundamentally is there. If you're saying fundamentally the technology will never reach that the technology will never reach that the technology will never reach that state and therefore it's going to state and therefore it's going to state and therefore it's going to asmmptote, it's going to stall out and asmmptote, it's going to stall out and asmmptote, it's going to stall out and we're never going to get there. Okay, we're never going to get there. Okay, we're never going to get there. Okay, that's a totally different argument. that's a totally different argument. that's a totally different argument. That one we can look at and see if That one we can look at and see if That one we can look at and see if there's any historical reason to believe there's any historical reason to believe there's any historical reason to believe that's true. I will put forward that that's true. I will put forward that that's true. I will put forward that there is not. There's literally no there is not. There's literally no there is not. There's literally no evidence in AI or quite frankly any evidence in AI or quite frankly any evidence in AI or quite frankly any other technology except for maybe air other technology except for maybe air other technology except for maybe air travel where you can be like that just travel where you can be like that just travel where you can be like that just hit an upper ceiling and just stopped hit an upper ceiling and just stopped hit an upper ceiling and just stopped getting better. getting better. getting better. >> Um for the most part technology just >> Um for the most part technology just >> Um for the most part technology just keeps getting better. So it just becomes keeps getting better. So it just becomes keeps getting better. So it just becomes a question of on what timeline. a question of on what timeline. a question of on what timeline. >> Um and the thing is we're not even >> Um and the thing is we're not even >> Um and the thing is we're not even talking about like there's people that talking about like there's people that talking about like there's people that are being infect impacted but you kind are being infect impacted but you kind are being infect impacted but you kind of mentioned it earlier companies and of mentioned it earlier companies and of mentioned it earlier companies and software is even getting impacted.

Now, I doubt any of you are going to Now, I doubt any of you are going to Now, I doubt any of you are going to find that answer satisfying and that's find that answer satisfying and that's find that answer satisfying and that's why the vast majority of people either why the vast majority of people either why the vast majority of people either aren't entrepreneurs or they end up aren't entrepreneurs or they end up aren't entrepreneurs or they end up failing at being an entrepreneur. But failing at being an entrepreneur. But failing at being an entrepreneur. But once you understand that once you understand that once you understand that entrepreneurship is about solving a entrepreneurship is about solving a entrepreneurship is about solving a problem that people have that they are problem that people have that they are problem that people have that they are screaming to have solved and you found a screaming to have solved and you found a screaming to have solved and you found a solution to it and now all you have to solution to it and now all you have to solution to it and now all you have to do is make them aware of the fact that do is make them aware of the fact that do is make them aware of the fact that you've made that solution. That's why AI you've made that solution. That's why AI you've made that solution. That's why AI is so transformative because it's is so transformative because it's is so transformative because it's product focused. It allows you to make product focused. It allows you to make product focused. It allows you to make something that didn't otherwise exist. something that didn't otherwise exist. something that didn't otherwise exist. Product is everything. If you can build Product is everything. If you can build Product is everything. If you can build a product that is really awesome. Now a product that is really awesome. Now a product that is really awesome. Now what product should you build? What what product should you build? What what product should you build? What product are you passionate about? What product are you passionate about? What product are you passionate about? What product do you see that there's a hole product do you see that there's a hole product do you see that there's a hole in the market? That's [snorts] the whole in the market? That's [snorts] the whole in the market? That's [snorts] the whole point of a business is to find that point of a business is to find that point of a business is to find that thing that either nobody's been able to thing that either nobody's been able to thing that either nobody's been able to do before, nobody did before because do before, nobody did before because do before, nobody did before because they didn't understand the problem, or they didn't understand the problem, or they didn't understand the problem, or nobody's done as fast or efficiently as nobody's done as fast or efficiently as nobody's done as fast or efficiently as you're going to do. And then you go and you're going to do. And then you go and you're going to do. And then you go and do that thing. And that is precisely how do that thing. And that is precisely how do that thing. And that is precisely how you make an astronomical amount of you make an astronomical amount of you make an astronomical amount of money. The problem is you have to be money. The problem is you have to be money. The problem is you have to be able to identify that hole in the able to identify that hole in the able to identify that hole in the market. I can throw off business ideas market. I can throw off business ideas market. I can throw off business ideas all day, but if either I'm wrong about all day, but if either I'm wrong about all day, but if either I'm wrong about the enormity of the problem or how the enormity of the problem or how the enormity of the problem or how desperately people want it solved, then desperately people want it solved, then desperately people want it solved, then you don't have product market fit and you don't have product market fit and you don't have product market fit and that will die in the vine. And this is that will die in the vine. And this is that will die in the vine. And this is all some of the stuff that you do in the all some of the stuff that you do in the all some of the stuff that you do in the early days of your exploration of what early days of your exploration of what early days of your exploration of what business to solve is you check to see if business to solve is you check to see if business to solve is you check to see if you have product market fit. Instead of you have product market fit. Instead of you have product market fit. Instead of doing it with a minimum viable product, doing it with a minimum viable product, doing it with a minimum viable product, I teach people to do it with a minimum I teach people to do it with a minimum I teach people to do it with a minimum viable test so that you can use viable test so that you can use viable test so that you can use literally AI and just come up with a literally AI and just come up with a literally AI and just come up with a test that you can put out into the test that you can put out into the test that you can put out into the market via what's known as a lead market via what's known as a lead market via what's known as a lead magnet. If there's no interest in the magnet. If there's no interest in the magnet. If there's no interest in the lead magnet, no one's going to give a lead magnet, no one's going to give a lead magnet, no one's going to give a [ __ ] about the product. So, there are [ __ ] about the product. So, there are [ __ ] about the product. So, there are ways that you can test all this stuff, ways that you can test all this stuff, ways that you can test all this stuff, but you're looking for product market but you're looking for product market but you're looking for product market fit. And all product market fit means is fit. And all product market fit means is fit. And all product market fit means is people actually want to buy the thing people actually want to buy the thing people actually want to buy the thing that you're selling. Don't make that you're selling. Don't make that you're selling. Don't make something that you think is cool. That something that you think is cool. That something that you think is cool.

And in the case of hacking Mexico, we're the case of hacking Mexico, we're the case of hacking Mexico, we're talking about using a publicly available talking about using a publicly available talking about using a publicly available chatbot to break into a government. The chatbot to break into a government. The chatbot to break into a government. The AI arms race is just getting started, AI arms race is just getting started, AI arms race is just getting started, but anyone who fails to understand how but anyone who fails to understand how but anyone who fails to understand how profoundly the game has already changed profoundly the game has already changed profoundly the game has already changed is toast. Claude just stepped up to the is toast. Claude just stepped up to the is toast. Claude just stepped up to the Mexican government at a random users's Mexican government at a random users's Mexican government at a random users's request and snatched protected documents request and snatched protected documents request and snatched protected documents exploiting holes in the system. First of exploiting holes in the system. First of exploiting holes in the system. First of all, if they can do that to fortified all, if they can do that to fortified all, if they can do that to fortified governmental institutions, imagine what governmental institutions, imagine what governmental institutions, imagine what they will do to grandma and grandpa. But they will do to grandma and grandpa. But they will do to grandma and grandpa. But second, just think how much the second, just think how much the second, just think how much the intelligence race between the US and intelligence race between the US and intelligence race between the US and China actually matters. Think about how China actually matters. Think about how China actually matters. Think about how you can deploy it against competitors. you can deploy it against competitors. you can deploy it against competitors. Let's say you're going for that Let's say you're going for that Let's say you're going for that promotion. How can you use it against promotion. How can you use it against promotion.

How can you use it if you the promotion? How can you use it if you the promotion? How can you use it if you want to start a business? want to start a business? want to start a business? I get it. Everybody wants the answer I get it. Everybody wants the answer I get it. Everybody wants the answer handed to them. Guess what you should handed to them. Guess what you should handed to them. Guess what you should do? Go have a conversation with AI and do? Go have a conversation with AI and do? Go have a conversation with AI and say, "Hey, I want to leverage you to say, "Hey, I want to leverage you to say, "Hey, I want to leverage you to start a business. What should I do?

That's follow its instructions." That's follow its instructions." That's basically what the hacker did. He was basically what the hacker did. He was basically what the hacker did. He was getting answers from Claude. Then he getting answers from Claude. Then he getting answers from Claude. Then he would get stuck. He would go over to would get stuck.

Now, in Claude's defense, it tried to resist, in Claude's defense, it tried to resist, in Claude's defense, it tried to resist, but the human that was working it, but the human that was working it, but the human that was working it, provided it uh proved that it had more provided it uh proved that it had more provided it uh proved that it had more intelligence. And with that edge in the intelligence. And with that edge in the intelligence. And with that edge in the intelligence, the attacker used Spanish intelligence, the attacker used Spanish intelligence, the attacker used Spanish language prompts to convince Claude it language prompts to convince Claude it language prompts to convince Claude it was participating in a legitimate bug was participating in a legitimate bug was participating in a legitimate bug bounty program and essentially told it, bounty program and essentially told it, bounty program and essentially told it, "Hey, this is a sanctioned security "Hey, this is a sanctioned security "Hey, this is a sanctioned security test." Claude initially was trying to test." Claude initially was trying to test." Claude initially was trying to flag the user's um behavior as flag the user's um behavior as flag the user's um behavior as suspicious, particularly when the hacker suspicious, particularly when the hacker suspicious, particularly when the hacker asked it to delete and erase command asked it to delete and erase command asked it to delete and erase command histories, but the attacker just kept histories, but the attacker just kept histories, but the attacker just kept pushing, kept refraraming it, and pushing, kept refraraming it, and pushing, kept refraraming it, and eventually just jailbroke the AI's eventually just jailbroke the AI's eventually just jailbroke the AI's guardrails. And once the guardrails guardrails. And once the guardrails guardrails.

Everybody's built >> You built a fandom. Everybody's built >> You built a fandom. Everybody's built in. Yeah, you can prompt games now, but in. Yeah, you can prompt games now, but in. Yeah, you can prompt games now, but this is my game. And then you can kind this is my game. And then you can kind this is my game. And then you can kind >> Yeah. And it won't be an instantaneous >> Yeah. And it won't be an instantaneous >> Yeah. And it won't be an instantaneous thing. So if I'm constantly deploying thing. So if I'm constantly deploying thing. So if I'm constantly deploying the techniques that my game will always the techniques that my game will always the techniques that my game will always be at the cutting edge of AI. So my game be at the cutting edge of AI. So my game be at the cutting edge of AI. So my game will be developed a little bit faster will be developed a little bit faster will be developed a little bit faster than everybody else because I'm just than everybody else because I'm just than everybody else because I'm just ahead of the curve because I've been ahead of the curve because I've been ahead of the curve because I've been doing it now for years. Um doing it now for years. Um doing it now for years. Um so yes, I am sad that I can see the end so yes, I am sad that I can see the end so yes, I am sad that I can see the end of an era just like I watched it happen of an era just like I watched it happen of an era just like I watched it happen with film. with film. with film. >> Um but at the same time I'm like, well, >> Um but at the same time I'm like, well, >> Um but at the same time I'm like, well, would I ever even be able to build this would I ever even be able to build this would I ever even be able to build this game if I didn't have AI? And the answer game if I didn't have AI? And the answer game if I didn't have AI? And the answer is obviously no. is obviously no. is obviously no. >> Yeah. Uh all right, we have some super >> Yeah. Uh all right, we have some super >> Yeah. Uh all right, we have some super chats. We do. Uh, and probably hit the chats. We do. Uh, and probably hit the chats. We do.

I know one of I'll be interested to see. I know one of I'll be interested to see. I know one of the things they've specifically called the things they've specifically called the things they've specifically called out is that they use chat for long out is that they use chat for long out is that they use chat for long memory stuff and they're saying that memory stuff and they're saying that memory stuff and they're saying that they can have like thought chains that they can have like thought chains that they can have like thought chains that will run for hours and then you can have will run for hours and then you can have will run for hours and then you can have them run perpetually. So there's them run perpetually. So there's them run perpetually. So there's something interesting. There's been some something interesting. There's been some something interesting. There's been some kind of breakthrough in chain of thought kind of breakthrough in chain of thought kind of breakthrough in chain of thought them being able to hold context. So one, them being able to hold context. So one, them being able to hold context. So one, whatever it is today, it's only going to whatever it is today, it's only going to whatever it is today, it's only going to get better. Uh and then I think it may get better.

Yeah, I think it probably does lead to techno I think it probably does lead to techno I think it probably does lead to techno socialism or just outright socialism or just outright socialism or just outright technoccommunism. technoccommunism. technoccommunism. The thing that we're going to have to The thing that we're going to have to The thing that we're going to have to worry about is it is architected into worry about is it is architected into worry about is it is architected into the human mind to play status games. So, the human mind to play status games. So, the human mind to play status games. So, the status game won't be economics the status game won't be economics the status game won't be economics anymore, but it'll be something. Uh, and anymore, but it'll be something. Uh, and anymore, but it'll be something. Uh, and so what will that something be? Will it so what will that something be? Will it so what will that something be? Will it be economic and people just play a be economic and people just play a be economic and people just play a discretionary game where it's like, hey, discretionary game where it's like, hey, discretionary game where it's like, hey, we all get an allowance from the we all get an allowance from the we all get an allowance from the government and then everybody plays the government and then everybody plays the government and then everybody plays the market trying to make more of their market trying to make more of their market trying to make more of their money. Like that's the thing you always money. Like that's the thing you always money. Like that's the thing you always have to remember. Nothing happening with have to remember. Nothing happening with have to remember. Nothing happening with AI changes the architecture of the human AI changes the architecture of the human AI changes the architecture of the human mind. Um, people are still going to try mind. Um, people are still going to try mind. Um, people are still going to try to get laid. People are still going to to get laid. People are still going to to get laid. People are still going to try to fall in love. People are still try to fall in love. People are still try to fall in love. People are still going to try to separate themselves from going to try to separate themselves from going to try to separate themselves from other people and say, "I'm better than other people and say, "I'm better than other people and say, "I'm better than you." Uh, people are still going to try you." Uh, people are still going to try you." Uh, people are still going to try to climb mountains. People are still to climb mountains. People are still to climb mountains. People are still going to try to help each other. people going to try to help each other. people going to try to help each other. people are still going to try to hurt each are still going to try to hurt each are still going to try to hurt each other. Like all of the things that make other. Like all of the things that make other. Like all of the things that make humans humans, that's still all going to humans humans, that's still all going to humans humans, that's still all going to be playing out until we start messing be playing out until we start messing be playing out until we start messing with our DNA. Uh humans aren't going to with our DNA. Uh humans aren't going to with our DNA. Uh humans aren't going to change. So it's just going to be the change. So it's just going to be the change. So it's just going to be the context under which uh they do the thing context under which uh they do the thing context under which uh they do the thing that they do. And so what becomes scary that they do. And so what becomes scary that they do. And so what becomes scary for me is as we pass through the for me is as we pass through the for me is as we pass through the transitional phase, which is going to be transitional phase, which is going to be transitional phase, which is going to be very brutal, I think. uh if we go down very brutal, I think. uh if we go down very brutal, I think. uh if we go down path number one of bloodshed now becomes path number one of bloodshed now becomes path number one of bloodshed now becomes how justified will the government feel how justified will the government feel how justified will the government feel in becoming tyrannical to bring peace in becoming tyrannical to bring peace in becoming tyrannical to bring peace and order and if they go full and order and if they go full and order and if they go full authoritarian China uh to get everybody authoritarian China uh to get everybody authoritarian China uh to get everybody back in line that's a pretty dark and back in line that's a pretty dark and back in line that's a pretty dark and dismal future. Um so even if they are dismal future. Um so even if they are dismal future. Um so even if they are giving you uh the brave new world future giving you uh the brave new world future giving you uh the brave new world future where everybody's having sex and eating where everybody's having sex and eating where everybody's having sex and eating whatever they want the punchline of that whatever they want the punchline of that whatever they want the punchline of that book is that that sucks. And so you've book is that that sucks. And so you've book is that that sucks. And so you've got to be very careful uh how we got to be very careful uh how we got to be very careful uh how we navigate this. So I think there's plenty navigate this. So I think there's plenty navigate this. So I think there's plenty of danger ahead. Um I just don't want to of danger ahead. Um I just don't want to of danger ahead. Um I just don't want to only focus on the danger because there's only focus on the danger because there's only focus on the danger because there's incredible opportunities. incredible opportunities. incredible opportunities. >> Are you sad to see the death of >> Are you sad to see the death of >> Are you sad to see the death of capitalism if that comes? capitalism if that comes? capitalism if that comes? >> Um it depends on what it's replaced by. >> Um it depends on what it's replaced by. >> Um it depends on what it's replaced by. So I'm not somebody who fears change. So So I'm not somebody who fears change. So So I'm not somebody who fears change. So capitalism is a game that we play that capitalism is a game that we play that capitalism is a game that we play that has such profound upside that it can has such profound upside that it can has such profound upside that it can pull people out of poverty. It's really pull people out of poverty. It's really pull people out of poverty. It's really pretty extraordinary. It is a game born pretty extraordinary. It is a game born pretty extraordinary. It is a game born of evolution, meaning it just sort of of evolution, meaning it just sort of of evolution, meaning it just sort of happens over time uh that happens over time uh that happens over time uh that exquisitly recognizes the way that exquisitly recognizes the way that exquisitly recognizes the way that humans actually behave and creates this humans actually behave and creates this humans actually behave and creates this incredible structure. Uh it has flaws incredible structure. Uh it has flaws incredible structure. Uh it has flaws obviously and I will remind everybody obviously and I will remind everybody obviously and I will remind everybody you're not living in a capitalist you're not living in a capitalist you're not living in a capitalist system. You've never lived in a system. You've never lived in a system. You've never lived in a capitalist system. And so please do keep capitalist system. And so please do keep capitalist system. And so please do keep that in mind. Um but the the different that in mind. Um but the the different that in mind. Um but the the different economic systems that we have have economic systems that we have have economic systems that we have have incredible upsides. And so it's really incredible upsides. And so it's really incredible upsides. And so it's really very interesting. Now if capitalism even very interesting. Now if capitalism even very interesting. Now if capitalism even as we know it today goes away and is as we know it today goes away and is as we know it today goes away and is replaced by something better. Like let replaced by something better. Like let replaced by something better. Like let me paint a utopian scenario for a me paint a utopian scenario for a me paint a utopian scenario for a second. It will never save everybody second. It will never save everybody second. It will never save everybody because some people just they don't have because some people just they don't have because some people just they don't have the economic horsepower just to round it the economic horsepower just to round it the economic horsepower just to round it to something in order to avoid all the to something in order to avoid all the to something in order to avoid all the traps that their own mind will set for traps that their own mind will set for traps that their own mind will set for them. But the utopianish scenario them. But the utopianish scenario them. But the utopianish scenario becomes all of the like basic survival becomes all of the like basic survival becomes all of the like basic survival crafting stuff that you have to do right crafting stuff that you have to do right crafting stuff that you have to do right now to get by, it all goes away. And one now to get by, it all goes away. And one now to get by, it all goes away. And one of the not one of the single best thing of the not one of the single best thing of the not one of the single best thing about being wealthy is you don't have to about being wealthy is you don't have to about being wealthy is you don't have to think about money. That feels so good in think about money. That feels so good in think about money. That feels so good in terms of your stress levels there. It's terms of your stress levels there. It's terms of your stress levels there. It's just an absence of something. Now, if just an absence of something. Now, if just an absence of something. Now, if everybody could have that, well, then everybody could have that, well, then everybody could have that, well, then your life looks at scale like a wealthy your life looks at scale like a wealthy your life looks at scale like a wealthy person's where you may still work. You person's where you may still work. You person's where you may still work. You may still engage very deeply in things may still engage very deeply in things may still engage very deeply in things because you understand that meaning and because you understand that meaning and because you understand that meaning and purpose is ultimately what matters. Um, purpose is ultimately what matters. Um, purpose is ultimately what matters. Um, you can drop me inside of Minecraft and you can drop me inside of Minecraft and you can drop me inside of Minecraft and I will have an inordinately good time I will have an inordinately good time I will have an inordinately good time for a very long time even though there for a very long time even though there for a very long time even though there are no set things that I'm supposed to are no set things that I'm supposed to are no set things that I'm supposed to go do. So you learn the rules of the go do. So you learn the rules of the go do. So you learn the rules of the world and then you play them in a way world and then you play them in a way world and then you play them in a way that's goal oriented because that's the that's goal oriented because that's the that's goal oriented because that's the architecture of the human mind and you architecture of the human mind and you architecture of the human mind and you do things you create goals for yourself do things you create goals for yourself do things you create goals for yourself and then you pursue those goals. Um and and then you pursue those goals. Um and and then you pursue those goals. Um and that I think is all there for people that I think is all there for people that I think is all there for people once you no longer have to worry about once you no longer have to worry about once you no longer have to worry about the survival crafting part of life and the survival crafting part of life and the survival crafting part of life and now it's just okay can you set meaning now it's just okay can you set meaning now it's just okay can you set meaning and purpose when that's not forced upon and purpose when that's not forced upon and purpose when that's not forced upon you by survival. Now, the survival you by survival. Now, the survival you by survival. Now, the survival aspects of human life is exactly what aspects of human life is exactly what aspects of human life is exactly what propelled us to the place that we're at propelled us to the place that we're at propelled us to the place that we're at now. When you remove that impulse, this now. When you remove that impulse, this now. When you remove that impulse, this is why I say some people need to be is why I say some people need to be is why I say some people need to be chased by a lion. What I mean is some chased by a lion. What I mean is some chased by a lion. What I mean is some people need to actually be risk at risk people need to actually be risk at risk people need to actually be risk at risk of dying such that their thinking is of dying such that their thinking is of dying such that their thinking is clear. Um, if you remove that, I think a clear. Um, if you remove that, I think a clear. Um, if you remove that, I think a lot of people will freak out and have a lot of people will freak out and have a lot of people will freak out and have a hard time setting goals for themselves, hard time setting goals for themselves, hard time setting goals for themselves, finding meaning, purpose, and moving finding meaning, purpose, and moving finding meaning, purpose, and moving forward. But for the people who can do forward. But for the people who can do forward. But for the people who can do that, wow, it's extraordinary because that, wow, it's extraordinary because that, wow, it's extraordinary because you don't have to waste any time on the you don't have to waste any time on the you don't have to waste any time on the bullshitty stuff that right now probably bullshitty stuff that right now probably bullshitty stuff that right now probably takes up a gigantic amount of your time takes up a gigantic amount of your time takes up a gigantic amount of your time leads is the cause of most of your leads is the cause of most of your leads is the cause of most of your frustrations. And so all of those go frustrations. And so all of those go frustrations. And so all of those go away. And now it really is just a battle away. And now it really is just a battle away. And now it really is just a battle with you and your own mind. Um, so with you and your own mind. Um, so with you and your own mind. Um, so that's to me that's very optimistic if that's to me that's very optimistic if that's to me that's very optimistic if people can be where the one battle isn't people can be where the one battle isn't people can be where the one battle isn't food, it's not shelter, it's not paying food, it's not shelter, it's not paying food, it's not shelter, it's not paying rent, it's just am I able to deal with rent, it's just am I able to deal with rent, it's just am I able to deal with the realities of my own mind. So that is the realities of my own mind. So that is the realities of my own mind. So that is pretty extraordinary. So am I sad about pretty extraordinary. So am I sad about pretty extraordinary. So am I sad about the death of capitalism? No. Especially the death of capitalism? No. Especially the death of capitalism? No. Especially not if it can actually um create that not if it can actually um create that not if it can actually um create that opportunity for people. What I worry opportunity for people. What I worry opportunity for people.

And so you'll be going up against an adversary you'll be going up against an adversary you'll be going up against an adversary who doesn't necessarily share your who doesn't necessarily share your who doesn't necessarily share your morals.

We need more housing. It's all for it. We need more housing. It's all for it. We need more housing. It's not my ideal method. My ideal method is not my ideal method. My ideal method is not my ideal method. My ideal method is just deregulate and let the market do just deregulate and let the market do just deregulate and let the market do what the market is going to do. That what the market is going to do. That what the market is going to do. That would be my pole position. But, you have would be my pole position. But, you have would be my pole position. But, you have to do something. You've got to build to do something. You've got to build to do something. You've got to build houses. You've got to build houses. And houses. You've got to build houses. And houses. You've got to build houses. And if that means that the property value of if that means that the property value of if that means that the property value of the current houses goes down, I can't the current houses goes down, I can't the current houses goes down, I can't stress enough that is so much better stress enough that is so much better stress enough that is so much better than crisisled deflation in housing, than crisisled deflation in housing, than crisisled deflation in housing, which is almost certainly coming if we which is almost certainly coming if we which is almost certainly coming if we don't do something. Right now, the don't do something. Right now, the don't do something. Right now, the mismatch between sellers and buyers is mismatch between sellers and buyers is mismatch between sellers and buyers is absolute insanity. It is a level we have absolute insanity. It is a level we have absolute insanity. It is a level we have never seen before. Not even after 2008, never seen before. Not even after 2008, never seen before. Not even after 2008, not during recessions. We've never seen not during recessions. We've never seen not during recessions. We've never seen this kind of mismatch between buyers and this kind of mismatch between buyers and this kind of mismatch between buyers and sellers. I think there's like 40% sellers.

Do you know how cataclysmic that is? That's you know how cataclysmic that is? That's you know how cataclysmic that is? That's one of those things that over the next one of those things that over the next one of those things that over the next year that just erodess housing prices year that just erodess housing prices year that just erodess housing prices like really fast. You don't want to be like really fast. You don't want to be like really fast. You don't want to be in that situation. you would much rather in that situation. you would much rather in that situation. you would much rather lower those values because there's more lower those values because there's more lower those values because there's more properties coming on the market because properties coming on the market because properties coming on the market because you take that Kshape and you start you take that Kshape and you start you take that Kshape and you start narrowing that gap because people are narrowing that gap because people are narrowing that gap because people are able to get on the housing ladder which able to get on the housing ladder which able to get on the housing ladder which hides them from the effects of hides them from the effects of hides them from the effects of inflation. It's not my preferred method inflation. It's not my preferred method inflation. It's not my preferred method of hiding from inflation but it's the of hiding from inflation but it's the of hiding from inflation but it's the only one that everybody understands.

So, hey, if it had to be brought to us by a hey, if it had to be brought to us by a hey, if it had to be brought to us by a democratic socialist, at least we're democratic socialist, at least we're democratic socialist, at least we're getting new property built. We got to getting new property built. We got to getting new property built. We got to build the new property. Now, if we're build the new property. Now, if we're build the new property. Now, if we're doing it in a way that ends up being doing it in a way that ends up being doing it in a way that ends up being inflationary, now we've got a whole inflationary, now we've got a whole inflationary, now we've got a whole problem again. Oh, god. But more problem again. Oh, god. But more problem again. Oh, god. But more housing, more housing at least is a step housing, more housing at least is a step housing, more housing at least is a step in the right direction. So, again, I in the right direction.

You will need to make a very incredible You will need to make a very incredible You will need to make a very incredible case to the American people to get them case to the American people to get them case to the American people to get them behind this. uh because if you just behind this. uh because if you just behind this. uh because if you just every you know few months go ah they're every you know few months go ah they're every you know few months go ah they're weeks away then it just seems like the weeks away then it just seems like the weeks away then it just seems like the things you're doing aren't really things you're doing aren't really things you're doing aren't really leading to anything.

They are tired of paying for a system that spends more paying for a system that spends more paying for a system that spends more than it takes in so that it guarantees than it takes in so that it guarantees than it takes in so that it guarantees that you're going to have a K-shaped that you're going to have a K-shaped that you're going to have a K-shaped economy. And just getting people to economy. And just getting people to economy. And just getting people to understand that the K-shaped economy is understand that the K-shaped economy is understand that the K-shaped economy is born of the fact that you spend more born of the fact that you spend more born of the fact that you spend more than you make. And people just than you make. And people just than you make. And people just fundamentally do not understand why fundamentally do not understand why fundamentally do not understand why wealthy people get so up in arms about wealthy people get so up in arms about wealthy people get so up in arms about tax. So if you're in a certain tax tax. So if you're in a certain tax tax. So if you're in a certain tax bracket, like the top tax bracket in bracket, like the top tax bracket in bracket, like the top tax bracket in California, for sure, you're going to California, for sure, you're going to California, for sure, you're going to pay more than 50% of your income in pay more than 50% of your income in pay more than 50% of your income in taxes. And so wealthy people are used to taxes. And so wealthy people are used to taxes. And so wealthy people are used to paying ridiculously high taxes. The paying ridiculously high taxes. The paying ridiculously high taxes. The frustration comes not from the taxes. It frustration comes not from the taxes. It frustration comes not from the taxes. It comes from how the taxes are used. And comes from how the taxes are used. And comes from how the taxes are used. And so while I think it's a little so while I think it's a little so while I think it's a little disingenuous to say that he would in an disingenuous to say that he would in an disingenuous to say that he would in an ongoing fashion pay 90% of his taxes ongoing fashion pay 90% of his taxes ongoing fashion pay 90% of his taxes because you just historically we see it because you just historically we see it because you just historically we see it shuts people down because you start shuts people down because you start shuts people down because you start going why am I doing this? But having a going why am I doing this? But having a going why am I doing this? But having a high functioning society is worth the high functioning society is worth the high functioning society is worth the money. The only problem is that taxing money. The only problem is that taxing money. The only problem is that taxing at 90% doesn't give you a high at 90% doesn't give you a high at 90% doesn't give you a high functioning society. The two things functioning society. The two things functioning society. The two things aren't even related. That's the problem. aren't even related. That's the problem. aren't even related. That's the problem. And so when people talk about like hey And so when people talk about like hey And so when people talk about like hey I'd be willing to do this. It's like, I'd be willing to do this. It's like, I'd be willing to do this. It's like, yeah, I' I would pay 90% of my net worth yeah, I' I would pay 90% of my net worth yeah, I' I would pay 90% of my net worth to have a magic wand. But the reality is to have a magic wand. But the reality is to have a magic wand. But the reality is what causes dysfunction in government is what causes dysfunction in government is what causes dysfunction in government is something else entirely. And what causes something else entirely. And what causes something else entirely. And what causes dysfunction in government is a central dysfunction in government is a central dysfunction in government is a central bank tied to a government that refuses bank tied to a government that refuses bank tied to a government that refuses to balance its budget. If the government to balance its budget. If the government to balance its budget. If the government balanced its budget, you can basically balanced its budget, you can basically balanced its budget, you can basically have anything you want. You just can't have anything you want. You just can't have anything you want. You just can't have everything you want. And getting have everything you want. And getting have everything you want. And getting people to understand that is next to people to understand that is next to people to understand that is next to impossible. It benefits everybody, not impossible. It benefits everybody, not impossible. It benefits everybody, not the least of all the wealthy, to have a the least of all the wealthy, to have a the least of all the wealthy, to have a stable society. Ask the French at the stable society. Ask the French at the stable society. Ask the French at the time of the French Revolution how time of the French Revolution how time of the French Revolution how glorious it was to be wealthy. Not very. glorious it was to be wealthy. Not very. glorious it was to be wealthy. Not very. Because it caused you to have your head Because it caused you to have your head Because it caused you to have your head separated from your body. So stable separated from your body. So stable separated from your body. So stable society is always going to trump society is always going to trump society is always going to trump everything. It's like they say, a person everything. It's like they say, a person everything. It's like they say, a person with their health wants for many things. with their health wants for many things. with their health wants for many things. Person without their health only wants Person without their health only wants Person without their health only wants for one thing. When you have a sick for one thing. When you have a sick for one thing. When you have a sick society, everybody in that society wants society, everybody in that society wants society, everybody in that society wants for one thing, and that's for the for one thing, and that's for the for one thing, and that's for the society to be stable.

And you do need to accumulate as many of the franchises as humanly as many of the franchises as humanly as many of the franchises as humanly possible. But this is where all of us possible. But this is where all of us possible. But this is where all of us have to be discerning and remember that have to be discerning and remember that have to be discerning and remember that we now have options that we wouldn't we now have options that we wouldn't we now have options that we wouldn't have had before.
